Abstract

A touch module includes a substrate, a touch sensing layer, a first transparent adhesive layer, and a second transparent adhesive layer. The substrate has a visible area and a peripheral area surrounding the visible area. The touch sensing layer is disposed on the substrate and located in the visible area. The first transparent adhesive layer is disposed on the touch sensing layer, and a dielectric constant of the first transparent adhesive layer is between 1.5 and 3.0. The second transparent adhesive layer is disposed on the first transparent adhesive layer, and a dielectric constant of the second transparent adhesive layer is between 3.0 and 8.0.

Claims (16)

1. A touch module, comprising:

a substrate having a visible area and a peripheral area surrounding the visible area;

a touch sensing layer disposed on the substrate and located in the visible area;

at least one first transparent adhesive layer disposed on the touch sensing layer, wherein a dielectric constant of the first transparent adhesive layer is between 1.5 and 3.0; and

at least one second transparent adhesive layer disposed on the first transparent adhesive layer, wherein a dielectric constant of the second transparent adhesive layer is between 3.0 and 8.0.

2. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein the touch sensing layer comprises a matrix and a plurality of metal nanostructures distributed in the matrix, and the first transparent adhesive layer is in contact with the touch sensing layer.

3. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first transparent adhesive layer is between 10 μm and 1000 μm.

4. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a thickness of the first transparent adhesive layer to a thickness of the second transparent adhesive layer is between 0.05 and 20.

5. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein after 504 hours of testing during which a temperature is 65° C., a relative humidity is of 90%, and a voltage applied to the touch module is 5 volts, a haze variation of the touch module is less than or equal to 0.3%, and a light transmittance variation of the touch module is greater than or equal to −0.3%.

6. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein after 504 hours of testing during which a temperature is 65° C., a relative humidity is of 90%, and a voltage applied to the touch module is 5 volts, a variation in b* value of the touch module in L*a*b* color space is less than or equal to 0.3.

7. The touch module of claim 1 , wherein after 504 hours of testing during which a temperature is 65° C., a relative humidity is of 90%, and a voltage applied to the touch module is 5 volts, a resistance variation of the touch module is greater than or equal to −15% and less than or equal to 10%.

8. The touch module of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover disposed on the second transparent adhesive layer, wherein a material of the cover comprises an alkaline glass.

9. The touch module of claim 8 , wherein the alkaline glass comprises a sodium glass, a potassium glass, a calcium glass, or combinations thereof.

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

a peripheral circuit layer disposed between the touch sensing layer and the first transparent adhesive layer and located in the peripheral area, wherein the peripheral circuit layer and the touch sensing layer constitute a step area, and the first transparent adhesive layer covers the step area.
