<p>The present invention relates to an electrically-conductive layer of a touch screen. The electrically-conductive layer is a mesh constituted by metal wires. The electrically-conductive layer comprises an induction area and a lead area that is electrically connected to the induction area. The induction area comprises at least one first induction pattern and at least one second induction pattern. The first and second induction patterns are adjacent to and insulated from each other. Mesh units in each first induction pattern are connected to each other. Mesh units in each second induction pattern are connected to each other. The lead area comprises several lead clusters. The lead clusters are insulated from each other. Each lead cluster is formed by a single row of mesh units being connected to each other. One end of each lead cluster is electrically connected to one second induction pattern. The electrically-conductive layer of the present invention employs a metal mesh structure and can be manufactured by using an imprinting process, and, compared with a process that uses an ITO film as an electrically-conductive layer, the shape of the mesh can be formed in one step, the process is simple, and the yield is high. By replacing ITO with metal, material costs are reduced, and, because an etching process is not employed, wastage of electrically-conductive material is avoided.</p> |
