Abstract

A touch device includes a circuit board, a substrate and a touch-sensing layer. The touch-sensing layer including patterned electrode sets is disposed on the substrate. Each patterned electrode set includes a driving electrode connected to the circuit board and sensing electrodes having wiring lines connected to the circuit board. The wiring lines of each patterned electrode set include first and second groups. The length for one of the wiring lines in the first group is greater than the length for one of the wiring lines in the second group. Diameters of the wiring lines in the first group are greater than diameters of the wiring lines in the second group. The diameter of the longer wiring line is greater than the diameter of the shorter wiring line, in the first group. The diameters in the second group are identical. The total widths of the first and second groups are equal.

Claims (16)

1. A touch device, comprising:

a circuit board;

a substrate; and

a touch-sensing layer, disposed on the substrate, and comprising a plurality of patterned electrode sets, wherein each of the patterned electrode sets comprises:

a driving electrode, electrically connected to the circuit board; and

a plurality of sensing electrodes, corresponded to the driving electrode, wherein each of the sensing electrodes has a wiring line, and the wiring line is electrically connected to the circuit board,

wherein the wiring lines of each of the patterned electrode sets comprises a first group and a second group, where a length for any one of the wiring lines in the first group is greater than a length for any one of the wiring lines in the second group, a diameter for any one of the wiring lines in the first group is greater than a diameter for any one of the wiring lines in the second group, the diameter of the longer wiring line in the first group is greater than the diameter of the shorter wiring line in the first group, the diameters for the wiring lines in the second group are the same, and a total width of the first group equals to a total width of the second group.

2. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving electrode has a plurality of patterned notches, the sensing electrodes are respectively located within the patterned notches and surrounded by the driving electrode, and a shape of each of the patterned openings is corresponded to a shape of each of the sensing electrodes.

3. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sensing electrodes is in a fish-bone shape.

4. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the patterned electrode sets is in a long-strip shape, and the sensing electrodes are arranged along a length direction of the patterned electrode set.

5. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein the patterned electrode sets are arranged in parallel.

6. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein any two of the wiring lines adjacent to each other in the first group have a gap, and the gaps in the first group are the same.

7. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein any two of the wiring lines adjacent to each other in the second group have a gap, and the gaps in the second group are the same.

8. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the wiring lines in the first group is less than an amount of the wiring lines in the second group.

9. The touch device according to claim 1 , wherein materials of the driving electrode, the sensing electrodes and the wiring lines comprise indium tin oxide.

10. The touch device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of dummy patterns disposed on the substrate and located at gaps between the patterned electrode sets.
