Abstract

A capacitive touch panel is disclosed. The structure of the touch panel is designed that the arrangement of the sensing units is not visible from outside. Moreover, the capacitive touch panel also has the advantage of having reduced thickness and simplified fabrication, and is easy to be combined with a liquid crystal display module.

Claims (15)

1. A capacitive touch panel, comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of sensing units thereon, wherein two adjacent sensing units comprise a distance therebetween; and

a shielding layer covering the sensing units entirely, wherein the thickness of the shielding layer is adjusted with respect to the distance such that the sensing units are invisible from outside.

2. The capacitive touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the shielding layer comprises an adhesive layer.

3. The capacitive touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the distance is between 10-550μm.

4. The capacitive touch panel of claim 3 , wherein the thickness of the shielding layer is between 20-1300μm.

5. The capacitive touch panel of claim 3 , wherein the shielding layer comprises an adhesive layer having a thickness between 10-500μm.

6. The capacitive touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the shielding layer comprises a polyester film or a transparent film.

7. The capacitive touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the shielding layer comprises a decoration.

8. A capacitive touch panel, comprising:

a substrate, having a plurality of sensing units and a plurality of dummy patterns thereon, wherein a first portion of the sensing units is connected along a first direction, a second portion of the sensing units is connected along a second direction, and the dummy patterns are disposed between two adjacent sensing units and electrically insulated to the sensing units; and

a shielding layer covering the sensing units and the dummy patterns entirely, wherein the thickness of the shielding layer is adjusted with respect to a distance between the sensing units and adjacent dummy patterns such that the sensing units are invisible from outside.

9. The capacitive touch panel of claim 8 , wherein the shielding layer comprises an adhesive layer.

10. The capacitive touch panel of claim 8 , wherein the shielding layer comprises a polyester film or a transparent film.

11. The capacitive touch panel of claim 8 , wherein the shielding layer comprises a decoration.
