RESISTIVE TOUCH PANEL

摘要

The present invention relates to a resistive touch panel. The resistive touch panel includes a lower pad, an isolation layer and an upper pad. The lower pad comprises: a lower insulation layer; a lower transparent conductive oxide layer that is formed as a touch pattern on the upper surface of the lower insulation layer; and a lower metallic coating layer that is formed as a connection pattern from the lower transparent conductive oxide layer to the edges of the lower insulation layer, wherein the connection pattern is for outputting an electric signal. The isolation layer is bonded with the upper edges of the lower pad. The upper pad is bonded with the upper surface of the isolation layer and comprises: an upper insulation layer; an upper transparent conductive oxide layer that is formed as a touch pattern on the lower surface of the upper insulation layer; and an upper metallic coating layer that is formed as a connection pattern from the upper transparent conductive oxide layer to the edges of the upper insulation layer, wherein the connection pattern is for outputting an electrical signal. As the result, the invention enables the production of the resistive touch panel through an inexpensive material and a simple fabrication process compared with a conventional fabrication process that uses a silver paste as the connection pattern for the output from an ITO layer to the outside. Therefore, the touch panel can be easily fabricated and the fabrication cost can be reduced. In addition, a silver material can be prevented from being cracked in an FPCB connection. Furthermore, the invention allows the production of a compact device by enabling the formation of fine and uniform conducting wires and is able to reduce the damage of an edge ITO by minimizing the step difference between the upper pad and the lower pad.
