Abstract

Disclosed is a touch screen panel for improving touch sensitivity, the screen panel comprising a first electrode in a first direction; and a second electrode, insulated from the first electrode, in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first electrode includes a plurality of first patterns, and a second pattern formed as one body with the plurality of first patterns so as to connect the plurality of first patterns in the first direction; the second electrode includes a plurality of third patterns, and a fourth pattern formed as one body with the plurality of third patterns so as to connect the plurality of third patterns in the second direction; and the first pattern is provided at a predetermined distance in a horizontal direction from the third pattern, the second pattern crosses the fourth pattern, and an area of the first electrode is larger than an area of the second electrode.

Claims (28)

1. A touch screen panel comprising:

a first electrode disposed in a first direction; and

a second electrode insulated from the first electrode, disposed in a second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, and disposed above the first electrode,

wherein the first electrode includes a plurality of first patterns, and a second pattern formed as one body with the plurality of first patterns so as to connect the plurality of first patterns in the first direction;

the second electrode includes a plurality of third patterns, and a fourth pattern formed as one body with the plurality of third patterns so as to connect the plurality of third patterns in the second direction;

the first pattern is provided at a predetermined distance in a horizontal direction from the third pattern, the second pattern crosses the fourth pattern, the fourth pattern completely covering the second pattern,

wherein the first electrode is a driving electrode to which a driving signal for sensing a touch is applied, and the second electrode is a sensing electrode that senses a change of capacitance according to a user's touch, and

wherein a horizontal distance between the first pattern and the third pattern is about 30 μm˜700 μm.

2. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein the area of second electrode is about 20%˜50% in comparison with the area of first electrode.

3. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the second pattern is the same as or smaller than a width of the fourth pattern.

4. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth pattern is bar shaped and extends in the second direction.

5. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein polygonal-shaped two of the third patterns are arranged symmetrically with respect to the fourth pattern.

6. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the fourth pattern occupies about 10%˜50% of the entire area of the second electrode.

7. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a first dummy pattern which is provided at a predetermined distance from the first electrode, and overlaps with the second electrode.

8. The touch screen panel according to claim 7 , wherein the first electrode and the first dummy pattern are disposed in the same layer.

9. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a second dummy pattern which is provided at a predetermined distance from the second electrode, and overlaps with the first electrode.

10. The touch screen panel according to claim 9 , wherein the second electrode and the second dummy pattern are disposed in the same layer.

11. The touch screen panel according to claim 9 , wherein the second dummy pattern includes a plurality of dummy pieces arranged at fixed intervals.

12. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein the fourth pattern of the second electrode overlaps a portion of the first patterns of the first electrode.

13. The touch screen panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second pattern has a width extending in a direction parallel to the second direction, the fourth pattern has a width extending in a direction parallel to the first direction, the width of the second pattern is equal to or smaller than the width of the fourth pattern.

14. A touch screen panel comprising:

a first electrode disposed in a first direction; and

a second electrode insulated from the first electrode, and disposed in a second direction being perpendicular to the first direction,

wherein the first electrode includes a plurality of first patterns, and a second pattern formed as one body with the plurality of first patterns so as to connect the plurality of first patterns in the first direction;

the second electrode includes a plurality of third patterns, and a fourth pattern formed as one body with the plurality of third patterns so as to connect the plurality of third patterns in the second direction; and

the first pattern is provided at a predetermined distance in a horizontal direction from the third pattern, the second pattern crosses the fourth pattern, the fourth pattern entirely overlapping the second pattern,

wherein the first electrode is a driving electrode to which a driving signal for sensing a touch is applied, and the second electrode is a sensing electrode for sensing a change of capacitance according to a user's touch, and

wherein a horizontal distance between the first pattern and the third pattern is about 30 μm˜700 μm.
