Touch panel and method of producing the same
View Patent ↗A touch panel includes a cover substrate, an upper resin layer, upper conductive layers, a lower resin layer, lower conductive layers, and a protective layer. The upper conductive layers are in contact with the upper resin layer on the side opposite to the cover substrate. The lower resin layer is in contact with the upper conductive layers and the upper resin layer. The lower conductive layers are provided on the side of the lower resin layer opposite to the upper conductive layers with the lower resin layer placed between the lower conductive layers and the upper conductive layers. The protective layer is provided on the surface of the lower resin layer on which the lower conductive layers are formed. Each of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer is formed of a uniform material.
1. A touch panel comprising:
an upper resin layer;
a plurality of upper conductive layers in contact with the upper resin layer;
a lower resin layer in contact with the upper conductive layers and the upper resin layer; and
a plurality of lower conductive layers in contact with a surface of the lower resin layer opposite to a surface in contact with the upper conductive layers, the lower resin layer disposed between the upper conductive layers and the lower conductive layers,
wherein a thickness of each of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer is greater than or equal to 10 μm or less than 50 μm, and
at least one of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer has a Martens hardness of 1 N/mm 2 or greater.
2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a protective layer provided on a surface of the lower resin layer on which the lower conductive layers are formed, wherein the protective layer at a side opposite to the lower resin layer has a surface roughness of 0.5 μm or less.
3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein each of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer comprises a uniform material.
4. The touch panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover substrate in contact with a surface of the upper resin layer; and
a protective layer provided on a surface of the lower resin layer,
wherein the touch panel has a light transmittance of 91% or greater.
5. A touch panel comprising:
an upper resin layer;
a plurality of upper conductive layers in contact with the upper resin layer;
a lower resin layer in contact with the upper conductive layers and the upper resin layer;
a plurality of lower conductive layers in contact with a surface of the lower resin layer opposite to a surface in contact with the upper conductive layers, the lower resin layer disposed between the upper conductive layers and the lower conductive layers;
a cover substrate in contact with a surface of the upper resin layer opposite to a surface in contact with the upper conductive layers; and
a protective layer in contact with the lower conductive layers and the lower resin layer,
wherein a thickness of each of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer is greater than or equal to 10 μm or less than 50 μm, and
the touch panel has a light transmittance of 91% or greater.
6. The touch panel according to claim 5 , wherein the protective layer at a side opposite to the lower resin layer has a surface roughness of 0.5 μm or less.
7. The touch panel according to claim 5 , wherein each of the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer comprises a uniform material.
