Abstract

A touch-sensitive conductive film, and a touch-sensitive assembly, a touch-sensitive display screen and an electronic device having the conductive film. The touch-sensitive conductive film comprises a sensing area and a key area. The key area is provided with a bonding area configured to bond a flexible circuit board, and a key. The key area is provided with a through-hole in a thickness direction of the touch-sensitive conductive film, and the through-hole is located at a side of the bonding area, so that the flexible circuit board is able to pass through the touch-sensitive conductive film via the through-hole. The flexible circuit board passes through the through-hole with two ends of the flexible circuit board being located at two sides of the touch-sensitive conductive film respectively, after the flexible circuit board is bonded to the touch-sensitive conductive film. In this way, the flexible circuit board would not cover the key area of the touch-sensitive conductive film, thus solving the problem that the flexible circuit board and the key interfere with each other in space, without affecting the layout design of the key. Meanwhile, an attaching surface of the touch-sensitive conductive film through which the touch-sensitive conductive film is attached onto the complete device is relatively flat, and the sealing performance of the attaching can be ensured.

Claims (19)

1. A touch-sensitive conductive film, comprising:

a sensing area; and

a key area provided with a bonding area configured to bond a flexible circuit board and a key,

wherein the key area is provided with a through-hole formed in and extending through the touch-sensitive conductive film in a thickness direction of the touch-sensitive conductive film, and the through-hole is located between the key and the bonding area so that the flexible circuit board is able to pass through the touch-sensitive conductive film via the through-hole.

2. The touch-sensitive conductive film of claim 1 , wherein a peripheral edge of the through-hole does not overlap with an edge of the touch-sensitive conductive film, the flexible circuit board passing through the touch-sensitive conductive film via the through-hole and blocked by a protective cover board attached to the touch-sensitive conductive film.

3. The touch-sensitive conductive film of claim 1 , wherein the touch-sensitive conductive film is an indium tin oxide conductive film.

4. A touch-sensitive assembly, comprising:

the touch-sensitive conductive film of claim 1 ; and

a flexible circuit board having opposite first and second ends,

wherein the flexible circuit board passes through the through-hole, the first end of the flexible circuit board is bonded to the bonding area of the touch-sensitive conductive film, the second end is bonded to a side of the touch-sensitive conductive film away from the bonding area.

5. The touch-sensitive assembly of claim 4 , further comprising a protective cover board attached to the touch-sensitive conductive film, and the protective cover board is located on a side of the touch-sensitive conductive film bonded with the flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board passing through the touch-sensitive conductive film via the through-hole, with the first end thereof blocked by the protective cover board.

6. The touch-sensitive assembly of claim 4 , wherein the protective cover board is provided with a visible area located at a center thereof and a non-visible area located at a periphery thereof, the sensing area is located on the visible area, and the key area is located on the non-visible area.

7. The touch-sensitive assembly of claim 4 , wherein the flexible circuit board is bent in a direction away from the key area after passing through the through-hole.

8. The touch-sensitive assembly of claim 4 , wherein a width of the through-hole is consistent with a thickness of the flexible circuit board.

9. A touch-sensitive display screen, comprising:

a display screen; and

the touch-sensitive assembly of claim 4 ,

wherein the touch-sensitive conductive film of the touch-sensitive assembly is attached together with the display screen.

10. An electronic device, comprising the touch-sensitive display screen of claim 9 .
