Abstract

A touch panel is provided, which includes a sensing electrode layer formed on a strengthened upper-cover substrate. The sensing electrode layer includes a plurality of sensing electrodes, wherein at least one end of each of sensing electrode has a comb-shaped terminal extending outwards. The comb-shaped terminal includes at least one branch. A masking layer is formed on the sensing electrode layer and at least a part of the masking layer overlaps the comb-shaped terminal. Furthermore, a touch display using the touch panel is also provided.

Claims (25)

1. A touch panel, comprising:

a sensing electrode layer, formed on a strengthened upper-cover substrate and comprising a plurality of sensing electrodes, wherein at least one end of each of sensing electrodes has a comb-shaped terminal extending outwards, and the comb-shaped terminal has at least one branch;

a masking layer, formed on the sensing electrode layer, and at least a part of the masking layer overlapping the comb-shaped terminals; and

a conductive adhesive filling a through hole of the masking layer, wherein the through hole corresponds to the comb-shaped terminal, and the conductive adhesive is further coated above or below the masking layer.

2. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the coating area of the conductive adhesive is larger than the cross-sectional area of the through hole.

3. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the coating area of the conductive adhesive is 20-200% of the area of a main body of the sensing electrodes.

4. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the coating shape of the conductive adhesive includes diamond or rectangular shape.

5. The touch panel of claim 1 , further comprising a conductive wire layer disposed above the masking layer and electrically contacted with the conductive adhesive.

6. The touch panel of claim 5 , wherein the conductive wire layer further comprises a conductive pad, and the conductive wire layer is electrically contacted with the conductive adhesive through the conductive pad.

7. The touch panel of claim 6 , wherein the area of the conductive pad is larger than the cross-sectional area of the through hole.

8. The touch panel of claim 6 , wherein the area of the conductive pad is 20-200% of the area of a main body of the sensing electrodes.

9. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the conductive adhesive has the same color as the masking layer.

10. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the masking layer and an extension point of the comb-shaped terminal extended from the sensing electrode are separated by a distance.

11. A touch display, comprising:

a display assembly; and

a touch panel, wherein the touch panel comprises:

a strengthened upper-cover substrate, set above the display assembly;

a sensing electrode layer, disposed on one surface of the strengthened upper-cover substrate, and comprising a plurality of sensing electrodes, wherein at least one end of each of the sensing electrodes has a comb-shaped terminal extending outwards, and the comb-shaped terminal includes at least one branch;

a masking layer, disposed on the sensing electrode layer and at least a part of the masking layer overlapping the comb-shaped terminal; and

a conductive adhesive filling a through hole of the masking layer, wherein the through hole corresponds to the comb-shaped terminal, and the conductive adhesive is further coated above or below the masking layer.

12. The touch display of claim 11 , wherein the coating area of the conductive adhesive is larger than the cross-sectional area of the through hole.

13. The touch display of claim 11 , further comprising a conductive wire layer disposed above the masking layer and electrically contacted with the conductive adhesive.

14. The touch display of claim 13 , wherein the conductive wire layer further includes a conductive pad, and the conductive wire layer is electrically contacted with the conductive adhesive through the conductive pad.

15. The touch display of claim 14 , wherein the area of the conductive pad is larger than the cross-sectional area of the through hole.

16. The touch display of claim 11 , wherein the masking layer and an extension point of the comb-shaped terminal extended from the sensing electrode are separated by a distance.
