METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A RESISTIVE TOUCH SENSOR CIRCUIT BY FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING

摘要

Method of manufacturing a resistive touch sensor circuit using a roll to roll process to print microscopic patterns on a single side of at least one flexible dielectric substrate using a plurality of flexo-masters to print the microscopic patterns which are then plated to form conductive microscopic patterns.
