It is described further below for the structure of refraction matching layer 24, referring to figure 2. A~Fig. 2 C, and referring concurrently to Figure 1B.Fig. 2A is painted the structural schematic diagram of the refraction matching layer of first embodiment of the invention offer.Fig. 2 B is painted folding shown in Fig. 2A Penetrate the A-A diagrammatic cross-section of matching layer.Fig. 2 C is painted the top view of the part refraction matching layer of first embodiment of the invention offer.
In this present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 A, the surface for reflecting matching layer 24 uses the convex block of multiple periodic arrangements 245 designs, those convex blocks 245 are periodically arranged.In the present embodiment, convex block 245 is axial in first axial direction or second Direction is arranged on a surface of refraction matching layer 24 in a manner of equidistant matrix arrangement, and 245 top direction of convex block Cover board 27.Convex block 245 is Chong Die with sensing circuit layer 22, that is to say, that area shared by those convex blocks 245 on refraction matching layer 24 Domain and the shared region of those sensing electrode axis and plain conductor 227 on sensing circuit layer 12 overlap.
It is worth noting that, in other embodiments of the present invention, because the plain conductor 227 in sensing circuit layer 22 can be saturating It crosses shielding layer 26 to be covered, stops shielded layer 26 through the light of plain conductor, touch panel 20 will not be penetrated, because This, those sensing electrodes in sensing circuit layer 22 can be corresponded only to by reflecting the shared region of those convex blocks 245 on matching layer 24 Sensing region shared by axis, in other words, refraction matching layer 24 are only covered on the sensing electrode axis of sensing circuit layer 22.Refraction matching The region shared by those convex blocks 245 on layer 24 can be at least Chong Die with those sensing electrode axis on sensing circuit layer 22, changes speech It, the shared region of convex block 245 also may be slightly larger than region shared by those sensing electrode axis on sensing circuit layer 22.
In this embodiment, the shape of each convex block 245 is essentially cylindrical body, but the shape of each convex block 245 also may be used For cone or pyramid shape etc., the present embodiment is not intended to limit.The height of each convex block 245 is h1.The shape of each convex block 245 Shape, size and substantial height h1 are identical, wherein substantially the same indicate identical, or in certain acceptable error model In enclosing.In addition, being spaced a preset spacing d1 between equal 245 top of convex blocks per adjacent this two-by-two.
It is worth noting that, convex block 245, which is formed by convex-concave surface, makes the folding for reflecting matching layer 24 for optical angle Penetrating rate is consecutive variations, and when refraction matching layer 24 is set between sensing circuit layer 22 and bonding coat 25, light is by sensing electricity Road floor 22 enters the light of bonding coat 25 through superrefraction matching layer 24, since the refractive index of refraction matching layer 24 is with progressive gentle Mode changes rather than precipitous variation, so that reflection of the incident light in interface can be close to zero, deviation can will seldom occur for light Or reflection, it is directly entered bonding coat 25.
In order to make incident light view refraction matching layer 24 realize the effect of continuous interfacial, those adjacent convex blocks 245 are pushed up two-by-two Spacing d1 between portion need to be at least below visible light (visible light) wavelength, i.e., and 400 nanometers to 700 nanometers.Those convex blocks Spacing d1 between 245 tops should be less than the wavelength of incident light, and by taking the wavelength of visible light as an example, d1 answers small 400 nanometers (nm).It changes Yan Zhi, the spacing between those adjacent 245 tops of convex block is smaller two-by-two, can more make the second of incident light view refraction matching layer 24 243 upper protruding block 245 of face is continuous interfacial, reduces reflection.Preferably, spacing range between the top of adjacent projections 245 can be between Between 10 nanometers to 150 nanometers.But the spacing d1 can be arranged according to actual demand and process capability.Each convex block 245 Height h1 be preferably between 50 nanometers to 500 nanometers.
The material for reflecting matching layer 24 can include silica (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), five oxygen for insulating materials Change one of two niobiums (Nb2O5) and photoresist or combinations thereof.In preferable embodiment, refraction matching layer 24 fills up sense Gap on slowdown monitoring circuit layer 22 between sensing electrode axis, refraction matching layer 24 can be by being etched on filling sensing circuit layer 22 Region reduces the region being etched tool and the refractive index difference in the region for being equipped with sensing electrode axis, and reduce sensing electrode can Diopter, therefore the refraction with sensing electrode in sensing region in sensing circuit layer 22 preferably can be selected in the material for reflecting matching layer 24 The material that rate matches, further to reduce the visibility of sensing electrode, in other words, and in the preferred embodiment, refraction The refractive index of matching layer 24 and the refractive index of the sensing electrode axis on sensing circuit layer 22 are substantially the same, specifically, can be by By selecting the material same or similar with the refractive index of substrate (such as glass substrate or transparent conductive film) of sensing electrode is formed, Such as the material of tool refractive index 1.7~1.8 is to correspond to ITO nesa coating or have the material of refractive index 1.5 with corresponding and glass Glass substrate reflects matching layer 24 to make, so that the folding of the refractive index and sensing electrode in sensing circuit layer 22 of refraction matching layer 24 It is substantially the same to penetrate rate.
Refraction matching layer 24 can be covered on sensing circuit layer 22 with coating method, and convex block 245, which can be to penetrate, to be had After the plate fixture on the surface of nanometer column bump, is imprinted, such as wire mark forms the male and fomale(M&F) of nano-scale, resolidification Molding.
Below for the operation principles simple declaration of refraction matching layer 24.
When the incident light that is parallel to each other, such as the light from display panel, it is multiple by being laid on refraction matching layer 24 When convex block 245, because direction normal (normal line) of each convex block 245 is inconsistent so that incident light can in different directions without The generation of systematicness is reflected, that is, generates diffusing reflection (diffuse reflection) phenomenon.It is incident under diffusing reflection phenomenon The reflection light of light can overlapped reflected back toward refractive matching layer 24, increase incident light, and then increase emergent ray amount.Again Person makes refractive index because aforementioned non-uniform surface can make incident light view refraction matching layer 24 and adjacent medium continuous interfacial In with gradual variation rather than precipitous variation, to reduce the reflection of incident light, so that the light by touch panel is bright Increase, improve the light transmittance of touch panel, reduces influence of the touch panel to display effect.
In in practice, also settable multilayer reflects matching layer 24 to touch panel 20.For example, touch panel 20 may include First refractive matching layer (not shown) and the second refraction matching layer (not shown).The table of the not set convex block of first refractive matching layer Face can be in contact with sensing circuit layer 22.The surface of the second refraction not set convex block of matching layer is in contact with display panel 20.In In another embodiment, the surface of the second refraction not set convex block of matching layer can be in contact with sensing circuit layer 22.
