Abstract

A method of fabricating a capacitance touch panel module includes forming a plurality of first conductive patterns on a substrate comprising a touching area and a peripheral area along a first orientation, a plurality of second conductive patterns along a second orientation, and a plurality of connecting portions in the touching area; forming a plurality of insulated protrusions, in which each insulated protrusion covering one connecting portion, and forming an insulated frame on the peripheral area; and forming a bridging member on each insulated protrusion.

Claims (27)

1. A capacitance touch panel, comprising:

a substrate comprising a touching area and a peripheral area around the touching area;

a plurality of insulated protrusions in the touching area, wherein one of the insulated protrusions is dome-shaped with a curved surface;

an insulated frame in the peripheral area, wherein the insulated frame includes a top surface and a curved side surface connecting the top surface;

a plurality of first conductive patterns, arranged in a plurality of rows along a first orientation;

a plurality of second conductive patterns arranged between neighboring rows of the first conductive patterns, wherein the first conductive patterns are electrically insulated from the second conductive patterns;

a plurality of connecting portions, wherein each of the connecting portions connects two neighboring ones of the first conductive patterns arranged in a row; and

a plurality of bridging members electrically connecting two neighboring ones of the second conductive patterns.

2. The capacitance touch panel of claim 1 , wherein one of the insulated protrusions covers one of the connecting portions, and wherein one of the bridging members crosses the one of the insulated protrusions.

3. The capacitance touch panel of claim 1 , wherein one of the insulated protrusions covers one of the bridging members, and wherein one of the connecting portions crosses the one of the insulated protrusions.

4. The capacitance touch panel of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of conductive wires on the insulated frame, wherein parts of the conductive wires connect the first conductive patterns, and the other parts of the conductive wires connect the second conductive patterns.

5. The capacitance touch panel of claim 4 , wherein the conductive wires extend from the first or second conductive patterns to the top surface of the insulated frame along the curved side surface.

6. The capacitance touch panel of claim 1 , wherein the insulated protrusions and the insulated frame are made of light absorbing materials.

7. The capacitance touch panel of claim 1 further comprising a protective layer covering the touching area and the peripheral area.

8. A method of fabricating a capacitance touch panel, comprising:

forming a substrate comprising a touching area and a peripheral area around the touching area;

forming a plurality of insulated protrusions in the touching area, wherein one of the insulated protrusions is dome-shaped with a curved surface;

forming an insulated frame in the peripheral area, wherein the insulated frame includes a top surface and a curved side surface connecting the top surface;
