The patent filed is for a touch panel design
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230315241A1) describes a touch panel with unique features. The touch panel consists of multiple sets of touch induction units, each comprising touch induction blocks, touch integrated circuits, touch signal lines, and subtend electrodes. The touch integrated circuit is connected to the touch induction blocks through touch signal lines. The touch induction blocks are arranged in sequence, with different lengths of touch signal lines corresponding to adjacent touch induction blocks. Additionally, the touch induction blocks have different areas for their touch electrodes.
When the areas of the touch electrodes corresponding to adjacent touch induction blocks are different, the adjacent touch induction blocks have the same pattern, but the widths of the touch electrodes are different. Alternatively, the adjacent touch induction blocks can have different patterns. In some cases, the touch electrodes corresponding to partial areas of the adjacent touch induction blocks may be disconnected, or the pattern densities corresponding to the adjacent touch induction blocks may be changed. There may also be partial areas of the adjacent touch induction blocks without touch electrodes. Furthermore, the longer the lengths of the touch signal lines corresponding to the touch induction blocks, the smaller the areas of the touch electrodes.
The touch electrodes in the touch panel can be made of transparent conductive oxide or metal conductive material. The touch signal lines and touch induction blocks can be disposed on the same layer or different layers. The pattern of the touch induction blocks can be a grid shape or a block shape with a whole surface.
The touch panel described in the patent aims to provide improved touch sensitivity and accuracy by varying the areas and patterns of the touch electrodes in the touch induction blocks. The different lengths of touch signal lines also contribute to the overall performance of the touch panel. The use of transparent conductive oxide or metal conductive material for the touch electrodes ensures transparency and conductivity. The arrangement of the touch signal lines and touch induction blocks on the same or different layers allows for flexibility in design and manufacturing.
Overall, this patent presents a novel touch panel design that has the potential to enhance user experience and performance in touch-sensitive devices.
