In other embodiment, the first connecters 141 and the second connecters 142 can be other shape. Please referring to FIGS. 5A to 5E, FIGS. 5A to 5E show several embodiments of the first connecters 141 and second connecters 142 of FIG. 1. In other embodiment, the shape of the cross-section of the first connecters 141 and the second connecters 142 can be designed as the shape of connecters 240 to 640. As shown in FIG. 5A, the cross-section of the connecter 240 is bar shaped. For example, the extending direction of all connecters 240 can be parallel to the first direction C1 or the second direction C2. Or, the extending direction of some of the connecters 240 can extend toward one direction, and the extending direction of others can extend another direction.


As shown in FIG. 5B, the cross-section of the connecter 340 are cross shaped. For example, two extending directions of one connecter 340 can be parallel to the first direction C1 and the second direction C2 respectively. Or, an included angle between two extending directions of one connecter 340 can be 45 degrees.


As shown in FIG. 5C, the cross-section of the connecter 440 is composed of three parallel bars and one connecting bar connected those parallel bars. For example, the extending direction of the parallel bars and the extending direction of the connecting bar can be parallel to the first direction C1 and the second direction C2 respectively. OR, an included angle between the extending direction of the parallel bars and the extending direction of the connecting bar can be 45 degrees.


As shown in FIG. 5D, the cross-section of the connecter 540 is composed of three bars intersected at the same point. For example, three extending directions can be parallel to the first direction C1, parallel to the second direction C2 and inclined to the first direction C1 with 45 degrees respectively.


As shown in FIG. 5E, the cross-section of the connecter 640 is similar to that of a conductive electrode 620. For example, the connecter 640 and the conductive electrode 620 are rhombus shaped. The four edges of the connecter 640 can be parallel to that of the conductive electrode 620 respectively.


As shown in FIG. 1, the number of the first connecters 141 corresponding to one first conductive electrode 121 and one first auxiliary electrode 131 is two. In other embodiment, the number of the first connecters 141 corresponding to one first conductive electrode 121 and one first auxiliary electrode 131 can be one, two or more than two. Similarly, the number of the second connecters 142 corresponding to one second conductive electrode 122 and one second auxiliary electrode 132 is two. In other embodiment, the number of the second connecters 142 corresponding to one second conductive electrode 122 and one second auxiliary electrode 132 can be one, two or more than two.


The number of the first connecters 141 can be determined according to the ratio of the cross-section of the first connecters 141 to that of the first conductive electrodes 121. Similarly, the number of the second connecters 142 can be determined according to the ratio of the cross-section of the second connecters 142 to that of the second conductive electrodes 122. The power loss affected according to the ratio of the cross-section of the connecter 740 to that of the conductive electrodes 720 is analyzed as below.


Please referring to FIGS. 6A to 11B, FIGS. 6A to 11B illustrate an experimental records of the impedance and the power loss according to different ratios of the cross-section of the connecters to that of the conductive electrodes. As shown in FIGS. 6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A and 11A, the ratios of cross-section of the connecters 740 to that of the conductive electrodes 720 are 22%, 13%, 6%, 1.3%, 0.4% and 0.2% respectively. The numbers of the connecters 740 are gradually decreased. FIGS. 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, 10B and 11B illustrate the power loss in FIGS. 6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A and 11A. In FIGS. 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, 10B and 11B, each contour represents one level of the power loss. The innermost contour represents the highest power loss. If one contour is outer than another counter, then the level of the power loss of this contour is lower than that of the another counter.


As shown in FIGS. 6B, 7B and 8B, the distribution of the power loss is symmetrical and uniform, and the range of high power loss is small. As shown in FIGS. 9B, 10B and 11B, the distribution of the power loss is asymmetry, there are some significant ripples, and the range of high power loss is large.


Moreover, regarding the impedance, the impedances measured in FIGS. 6A, 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A and 11A are 385.48, 386.11, 387.46, 389.41, 393.79 and 398.39 ohm which are gradually increased.


If the ratio of the cross-section of the connecters 740 to that of the conductive electrodes 720 is high, then the distribution of the power loss is symmetrical and uniform, the range of high power loss is small and impedance is small. As shown in the experiment, if the ratio of the cross-section area of the connecters 740 to the area of the conductive electrodes 720 is greater than 6%, then the impedance is reduced to be a particular level and the power loss is improved.


That is to say, the ratio of the cross-section area of the first connecters 141 to the area of the first conductive electrodes 122 can be greater than 6% for reducing the impedance to be a particular level and improving the power loss. Similarly, the ratio of the cross-section area of the second connecters 142 to the area of the second conductive electrodes 122 can be greater than 6% for reducing the impedance to be a particular level and improving the power loss.


In the present embodiment, the area the first conductive electrodes 121 is substantially equal to that of the first auxiliary electrodes 131. The area of the second conductive electrodes 122 is substantially equal to that of the second auxiliary electrodes 132. The first conductive electrodes 121 and the first auxiliary electrodes 131 are fully overlapped.


In another embodiment, the first side 110a of the insulating layer 110 can be a touching side for a finger, the area of the first conductive electrodes 121 can be greater than that of the first auxiliary electrodes 131, and the area of the second auxiliary electrodes 132 can be greater than that of the second conductive electrodes 122.


In another embodiment, the first side 110a of the insulating layer 110 can be a touching side for a finger, the area of the second conductive electrodes 122 can be greater than that of the second auxiliary electrodes 132, and the area of the first auxiliary electrodes 131 can be greater than that of the first conductive electrodes 121.


Moreover, the shape of the first, second conductive electrodes 121, 122 and the shape of the first, second auxiliary electrodes 131, 132 can be different. For example, the first, second conductive electrodes 121, 122 can be rhombus, the first, second auxiliary electrodes 131, 132 can be rectangle, but it is not limited thereto. Further, if a particular shape of one side of the first, second conductive electrodes 121, 122 and the first, second auxiliary electrodes 131, 132 are irregular, then the shape of the another side of the first, second conductive electrodes 121, 122 and the first, second auxiliary electrodes 131, 132 can be complementary to that particular shape. For example, the shape of each side can be a rhombus having a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of concave portions interlaced with each other, the protruding portions on one side correspond to the concave portions on another side, and the concave portions on one side correspond to the protruding portions on another side, such that the visual effects can be well.


Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the first connecters 141 are arranged along the first direction C1, the second connecters 142 are arranged along the second direction C2. That is to say, the first connecters 141 and the first conductive electrodes 121 are arranged along the same direction, and the second connecters 142 and the second conductive electrodes 122 are arranged along the same direction. As a result, the signal transmission capacity of the first conductive electrodes 121 in the first direction C1 can be improved, and the signal transmission capacity of the second conductive electrodes 122 in the second direction C2 can be improved.


In the present embodiment, the material of the first conductive electrodes 121, the material of the second conductive electrodes 122, the material of the first auxiliary electrodes 131, the material of the second auxiliary electrodes 132, the material of the first connecters 141 and the material of the second connecters 142 are the same.

The material of the first connecters 141 and the material of the second connecters 142 can be non-transparent conductive material, such as metal or nano-silver wire. If the materials of those elements are the same, then the efficiency of the manufacturing process can be improved. Moreover, the first, second conductive electrodes 121, 122 and the first, second auxiliary electrodes 131, 132 are not limited to be continuous thin films, and they can be mesh, such as metal mesh.


In another embodiment, the material of the first conductive electrodes 121 and the material of the second conductive electrodes 122 can be different. For example, if the touch panel 100 is rectangle shaped instead of square, the material of the first conductive electrodes 121 and the material of the second conductive electrodes 122 can be different to adjust the impedance distribution of the touch panel 100, such that the impedance of the long edge of the touch panel 100 and the impedance of the short edge of the touch panel 100 can be similar.


In another embodiment, the material of the first conductive electrodes 121 and the material of the first auxiliary electrodes 131 can be different, and the material of the second conductive electrodes 122 and the material of the second auxiliary electrodes 132 can be different. For example, the material of the first conductive electrodes 121 and the second conductive electrodes 122 can be a material having low impedance, and the material of the first auxiliary electrodes 131 and the second auxiliary electrodes 132 can be a material having high impedance.


OR, the material of the second conductive electrodes 122 and the first auxiliary electrodes 131 can be a material having low impedance, and the material of the second auxiliary electrodes 132 and the first conductive electrodes 121 can be a material having high impedance.


According to the touch panel 100 and the manufacturing method thereof, the first conductive electrodes 121, the second conductive electrodes 122, the first auxiliary electrodes 131 and the second auxiliary electrodes 132 are used for reducing the impedance of the touch panel 100 and the capacitance difference can be kept to improve the detecting efficiency.
