Abstract

A touch panel includes a first plate, an antenna component and a decoration layer. A touch input area and a peripheral area aside to the input area are defined on the first plate. The antenna component is located at the peripheral area. The decoration layer is located at the peripheral area and hides the antenna component from view.

Claims (47)

1. A touch panel, comprising:

a first plate, defining a touch input area and a peripheral area, wherein the peripheral area is aside to the touch input area;

an antenna component, located in the peripheral area;

a decoration layer, located in the peripheral area, and hiding the antenna component from view; and

an antenna signal wire, located in the peripheral area, hidden by the decoration layer, and directly connected with the antenna component.

2. The touch panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second plate, assembled with the first plate, wherein the antenna component and the decoration layer are located between the first plate and the second plate.

3. The touch panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensing unit, formed on the first plate and located in the touch input area; and

a sensing wire, formed on the first plate, located in the peripheral area, hidden by the decoration layer, and connected with the sensing unit.

4. The touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the antenna signal wire is formed on the first plate and the antenna component is disposed on the first plate.

5. The touch panel of claim 4 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, formed on the first plate, located in the peripheral area, and connected with the antenna signal wire.

6. The touch panel of claim 5 , wherein the antenna wire pin is hidden by the decoration layer, and directly connected to the antenna signal wire through a via of the first plate.

7. The touch panel of claim 5 , further comprising:

a sensing wire pin, formed on the first plate and located in the peripheral area, wherein the sensing wire pin and the antenna wire pin are connected to a same external wire.

8. The touch panel of claim 5 , further comprising:

a sensing wire pin, formed on the first plate and located in the peripheral area, wherein the sensing wire pin and the antenna wire pin are respectively connected to two external wires.

9. The touch panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, connected with the antenna component through a via of the first plate.

10. The touch panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, wherein the antenna component is embedded in the peripheral area of the first plate and the antenna wire pin is coupled to an exposed side of the antenna component.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

an electronic module;

a touch panel, assembled with the electronic module, comprising:

a first plate, defining a touch input area and a peripheral area, wherein the peripheral area is aside to the touch input area;

an antenna component, located in the peripheral area;

a decoration layer, located in the peripheral area, and hiding the antenna component from view; and

an antenna signal wire, located in the peripheral area, hidden by the decoration layer, and directly connected with the antenna component; and

a radio-frequency module, coupled to the antenna component of the touch panel.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a second plate, assembled with the first plate, wherein the antenna component and the decoration layer are located between the first plate and the second plate, and the antenna component is directly connected to an external wire through a via of the first plate.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a sensing unit, formed on the first plate and located in the touch input area; and

a sensing wire, formed on the first plate, located in the peripheral area, hidden by the decoration layer, and connected with the sensing unit.

14. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, formed on the first plate, located in the peripheral area, and connected with the antenna signal wire;

wherein the antenna signal wire is formed on the first plate and the antenna component is disposed on the first plate.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the antenna wire pin is hidden by the decoration layer, and directly connected to the antenna signal wire through a via of the first plate.

16. The electronic device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a sensing wire pin, formed on the first plate and located in the peripheral area, wherein the sensing wire pin and the antenna wire pin are connected to a same external wire.

17. The electronic device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a sensing wire pin, formed on the first plate and located in the peripheral area, wherein the sensing wire pin and the antenna wire pin are respectively connected to two external wires.

18. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, connected with the antenna component through a via of the first plate.

19. The electronic device of claim 11 , further comprising:

an antenna wire pin, wherein the antenna component is embedded in the peripheral area of the first plate and the antenna wire pin is coupled to an exposed side of the antenna component.
