Abstract

A touch screen, includes a position sensing assembly and a display assembly. The position sensing assembly includes: a substrate, a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer, the first polymer layer is formed on a surface of the substrate, a conductive material is embedded in the first polymer layer to form a first conductive area and a first lead on a surface of the first polymer layer, the second polymer layer is formed on a surface of the first polymer layer; a conductive material is embedded in the second polymer layer to form a second conductive material and a second lead on a surface of the second polymer layer. The touch screen omits a transparent conductive film, and achieves an effect of conducting through embedding a conductive material in the first and second polymer layer, thus material cost is relatively low and the producing process is relatively simple.

Claims (13)

1. A touch screen, comprising a position sensing assembly and a display assembly, wherein the position sensing assembly comprises:

a substrate, having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a first continuous polymer layer having a first grid-shaped groove, formed on the first surface of the substrate; wherein a conductive material is filled in the first grid-shaped groove in the first polymer layer to form a first conductive area and a first lead on a surface of the first polymer layer; and

a second continuous polymer layer having a second grid-shaped groove, formed directly on a surface of the first polymer layer; wherein a conductive material is filled in the second groove in the second polymer layer to form a second conductive area and a second lead on a surface of the second polymer layer;

wherein a depth to width ratio of the first grid-shaped groove and a depth to width ratio of the second grid-shaped groove are both larger than 1, and wherein the first polymer is a single layer and the second polymer layer is a single layer,

wherein the depth of the first grid-shaped groove and the second grid-shaped groove is 2-6 microns, respectively, and the width of the first grid-shaped groove and the second grid-shaped groove is 1-5 microns, respectively,

wherein the position sensing assembly and the display assembly are connected by optical glue,

wherein the touch screen further comprises a light shielding layer, located between the first polymer layer and the substrate; or located between the second polymer layer and the optical glue, and when the light shielding layer is located between the second polymer layer and the optical glue, a length of the second polymer layer is less than a length of the first polymer layer and a length of the light shielding layer, an end of the first polymer layer is exposed to form a region, and the first lead is exposed in the region, the light shielding layer is located on the second polymer layer and the region, the first lead and the second lead are lead out of the light shielding layer through a hole.

2. The touch screen according to claim 1 , wherein the grid-shaped groove is regular grid or random grid.

3. The touch screen according to claim 1 , wherein the second polymer layer is provided with a gap, a lead foot of the first lead is located in the gap, the second lead is positioned on the surface of the second polymer layer.

4. The touch screen according to claim 1 , wherein a protective layer is disposed on the surface of the second polymer layer to prevent the conductive material from being oxidized.

5. The touch screen according to claim 1 , wherein the light shielding layer is an ink layer or a black photoresist layer, and a thickness thereof is 1-10 microns.

6. The touch screen according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is glass.
