BACKGROUND

Conventional touch screens are generally applied to devices with a small size screen, such as smart phones and tablet computers. For such touch screen, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is mainly used as a touch conductive film layer which forms desired touch patterns through photolithography. However, due to the large sheet resistance and high cost for ITO materials, it is not suitable for large size touch screens. In recent years, the touch screen is applied to devices such as all-in-one machines and large-size notebook computers, and metal meshes are used as touch patterns at present. The metal mesh has a lower sheet resistance, and this can effectively reduce the Resistance Capacity Delay (RC Delay) and prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Exemplary arrangements will now be described more comprehensively with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, exemplary arrangements can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these arrangements are provided so that the present disclosure will be described more comprehensively and entirely, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary arrangements to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and the repeated description thereof will be omitted.


Although relative terms such as “upper” and “lower” are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship between one component and another component, these terms are used in this specification for convenience only, and, for example may be used according to the direction in the drawings. It will be understood that if the illustrated device is turned upside down, the “upper” component described above will become the “lower” component. Other relative terms such as “high”, “low”, “top”, “bottom”, “left” and “right” also have similar meanings. When a structure is “on” another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the another structure, or that the structure is “directly” disposed on the another structures, or that the structure is “indirectly” disposed on the another structure through still another structure.


The terms “a”, “an” and “the” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements/components; the terms “comprising” and “having” are used to represent the open-ended meanings and refer to that, in addition to the listed elements/components, there may be additional elements/components.


The described information disclosed with respect to FIGS. 1-3 about the related art is only used to enhance the understanding of the present disclosure, and thus it may include information that does not constitute prior art technology known by those skilled in the art.


In a mutual-capacitive touch screen design in the related art, two layers of metal meshes which are opposite to each other are generally used as the driving functional layer and the sensing functional layer, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a first metal mesh layer, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a second metal mesh layer, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure in which the first metal mesh layer and the second metal mesh layer are opposite to each other. Each of the first metal mesh layer and the second metal mesh layer includes a touch channel area and a virtual wiring area. The virtual wiring area and the touch channel area are separated by a virtual wiring opening.


However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the two layers of metal mesh overlap, a large number of virtual wiring openings converge and this results in macroscopically visible ghosting or shadow. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view for the point A in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 4, a parallel plate capacitor is formed at a point B where a metal grid line L1 of the virtual wiring area of the first metal mesh layer and a metal grid line L2 of an opposite touch channel area of the second metal mesh layer intersect and this results in parasitic capacitance, thus affecting the touch sensitivity of the touch screen.


The arrangements of the present disclosure provide a touch component, a method for manufacturing the touch component, and a touch screen, which overcome at least one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages in the art to some extent.


This exemplary arrangement firstly provides a touch component. Referring to FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a first metal mesh layer, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a second metal mesh layer, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure in which a first metal mesh layer and a second metal mesh layer are opposite to each other, FIG. 8 is an enlarged view for the point C in FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged view for the point D in FIG. 7. The touch component includes a first metal mesh layer 1 and a second metal mesh layer 2. The first metal mesh layer 1 includes a plurality of first touch channel areas 11 extending in parallel in a first direction and a plurality of first virtual wiring areas 12 between adjacent ones of the first touch channel areas. The first virtual wiring area 12 includes a plurality of first virtual wiring openings 121 for separating adjacent first touch channel areas 11. The second metal mesh layer 2 is opposite to the first metal mesh layer 1, and includes: a plurality of second touch channel areas 21 extending in parallel in a second direction and a plurality of second virtual wiring areas 22 between adjacent ones of the second touch channel areas 21. The first direction intersects the second direction, and the second virtual wiring area 22 includes a plurality of second virtual wiring openings 221 for separating the adjacent second touch channel areas 21. In this case, a projection of at least part of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the second metal mesh layer, and a projection of at least part of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the first metal mesh layer.


The exemplary arrangement provides a touch component including: a first metal mesh layer 1 and a second metal mesh layer 2. A projection of at least part of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the second metal mesh layer, and a projection of at least part of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the first metal mesh layer. On the one hand, this design can avoid serious ghosting caused by dense virtual wiring openings. On the other hand, the design reduces the number of intersections between the metal grids of the first virtual wiring area and that of the second touch channel area, and between the metal grids of the second virtual wiring area and that of the first touch channel area, thus effectively reducing the touch capacitance and further improving touch sensitivity.


It should be noted that in the exemplary arrangement, the first metal mesh layer may serve as a sensing functional layer, the second metal mesh layer may serve as a driving functional layer, the first touch channel area may serve as a touch sensing electrode, and the two touch channel areas may serve as a touch driving electrode.


An example arrangement in which the first virtual wiring opening 121 and the second virtual wiring opening 221 can be realized may be an example where the first virtual wiring area includes a plurality of first virtual wirings 122; the first virtual wiring opening 121 is formed between the plurality of the first virtual wirings 122 and the plurality of the first touch channel area 11, and at the same time, when a plurality of columns of the first virtual wirings are included between adjacent first touch channel areas, the first virtual wiring opening 121 is also formed between the first virtual wirings 122; the second virtual wiring area 22 includes a plurality of second virtual wirings 222, the second virtual wiring opening 221 is formed between the plurality of the second virtual wirings 222 and the plurality of the second touch channel area 21, and at the same time, when a plurality of rows of the second virtual wirings are included between adjacent second touch channel areas, the second virtual wiring opening 221 is also formed between the second virtual wirings 222. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that there are still more structuring manner for the first virtual wiring opening 121 and the second virtual wiring opening 221 to be selected, and these variations should be considered as falling within the scope protected by the present disclosure.


In this exemplary arrangement, the first metal mesh layer 1 and the second metal mesh layer 2 may have different mesh shapes. This arrangement will be described by way of an example in which the metal grid of the first metal mesh layer 1 is a rhombic metal grid, the metal grid of the second metal mesh layer 2 is a rhombic or diamond metal grid, and the metal grid of the first metal mesh layer and the metal grid of the second metal mesh layer have the same size. It should be noted that, in other arrangements, the first metal mesh layer 1 and the second metal mesh layer 2 may have other shapes for the grid thereof, and these variations should be considered as falling within the protection scope of the present disclosure.


In the exemplary arrangement, the first virtual wiring 122 may have an X-shaped structure, and the intersection of the first virtual wiring 122 may be aligned with the centroid of the grid of the second metal mesh layer 2; the second virtual wiring 222 may have an X-shaped structure, and the intersection of the second virtual wiring 222 may be aligned with the centroid of the grid of the first metal mesh layer 1.


It should be noted that X-shaped structure should be understood as a structure formed by two intersecting line segments. In the exemplary arrangement, two line segments may intersect at any angle. When the intersection angle of the two line segments is 90°, the diamond metal grid is a square metal grid. The intersection of the first virtual wiring 122 being aligned with the centroid of the grid of the second metal mesh layer 2 should be understood as that, when the first metal mesh layer 1 is opposite to the second metal mesh layer 2, the projection of the intersection of the X-shaped structure on the second metal mesh layer 2 is located on the centroid of the diamond metal grid of the second metal mesh layer 2. The intersection of the second virtual wiring 222 being aligned with the centroid of the grid of the first metal mesh layer 1 should be understood as that, when the first metal mesh layer 1 is opposite to the second metal mesh layer 2, the projection of the intersection of the X-shaped structure on the first metal mesh layer 1 is located on the centroid of the diamond metal grid of the first metal mesh layer 1.


It should be noted that, in other arrangements, the intersection of the first virtual wiring 122 may not be aligned with the centroid of the grid of the second metal mesh layer 2; and correspondingly, the intersection of the second virtual wiring 222 may not be aligned with the centroid of the grid of the first metal mesh layer 1.


In the exemplary arrangement, the metal grid is a conductor with a smaller sheet resistance and may be composed of one or more of copper, aluminum, and silver. It should be noted that the metal grid can also be composed of other conductive metals.


In the exemplary arrangement, when the first virtual wiring opening 121 is opposite to the second virtual wiring opening 221, the projection of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer is located on the grid of the second metal mesh layer, or the projection of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer is located on the grid of the first metal mesh layer. When the first virtual wiring opening 121 is not opposite to the second virtual wiring opening 221, the projection of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer intersects with the grid line of the first metal mesh layer, or the projection of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer intersects with the grid line of the second metal mesh layer. It should be noted that, the first virtual wiring opening 121 being opposite to the second virtual wiring opening 221 should be understood as that, when the first metal mesh layer is disposed opposite to the second metal mesh layer, the projection of the first virtual wiring opening 121 on the second metal mesh layer is located close to the second virtual opening. As shown in FIG. 8, the first virtual wiring opening 121 is opposite to the second virtual wiring opening 221, and the projection of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer is located on the grid line of the second metal mesh layer. Here, the projection of the second virtual opening on the first metal mesh layer may also be provided to be located on the grid of the first metal mesh by adjusting the shape of the first virtual wiring 122 or the second virtual wiring 222. As shown in FIG. 9, the first virtual wiring opening 121 is not opposite to the second virtual wiring opening 221, and the projection of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer intersects with the grid line of the first metal mesh layer. On other positions, there also exists the arrangement in which the projection of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer intersects with the grid line of the second metal mesh layer.


The exemplary arrangement further provides a method for manufacturing a touch component. As shown in FIG. 10, it is a flow chart illustrating the method for manufacturing the touch component, including the following.


In S1: a first metal mesh layer is formed on a substrate, the first metal mesh layer includes a plurality of first touch channel areas extending in parallel in a first direction and a plurality of first virtual wiring areas between adjacent ones of the first touch channel areas, and the first virtual wiring area includes a plurality of first virtual wiring openings for separating adjacent first touch channel areas;

In practical applications, the first touch channel area and the second touch channel area need to be connected to the circuit board through the wiring. However, the wiring would affect the display effect of the touch screen. As shown in FIG. 11, it is a side view illustrating the touch component. In S1: before the first metal mesh layer is formed on the substrate 3, a black matrix 4 may be formed on the substrate, a first metal mesh layer 1 including the first touch channel area 11 is formed within the black matrix 4, and a first wiring 13 is formed on the edge of the black matrix 4.

In S4, a second insulating layer 6 is formed on the second metal mesh layer and the second wiring 23.


With the black matrix, the wiring can be avoided to be displayed on the display screen and thus the display effect can be improved.


The exemplary arrangement also provides a touch screen including the touch component as described above. The structure and function principle of the touch component has been described in detail in the above content, and will not be repeated here.

A projection of at least part of the first virtual wiring opening on the second metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the second metal mesh layer, and a projection of at least part of the second virtual wiring opening on the first metal mesh layer intersects with a grid line of the first metal mesh layer.
