TOUCH PANEL HAVING REDUCED BEZEL

摘要

PURPOSE: A touch panel with a thinner bezel can halve the width of the bezel by connecting some Tx metal wiring of a Tx pattern layer with a flexible printed circuit board through a conductive bridge located at the left and right sides of an Rx pattern layer. CONSTITUTION: A Tx pattern layer (220) includes: Tx electrode patterns sensing Y axis coordinates; a first Tx metal wiring connecting some of the Tx electrode patterns to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) (400); and a second Tx metal wiring connecting the remaining Tx electrode patterns to a first connecting terminal located at the upper part. An Rx pattern layer (240) includes: Rx electrode patterns sensing X axis coordinates; a first Rx metal wiring connecting some of the Tx electrode patterns to the FPCB; and a second Rx metal wiring a second connecting terminal located at the upper part to the FPCB. A conductive bridge (260) connects the first connecting terminal to the second connecting terminal (248) in a way where the Tx electrode patterns are connected to the FPCB through the Rx pattern layer.
