图1是依照本发明的一实施例的一种触控面板的示意图。请参考图1,触控面板100包括一基板110、多条第一电极线120、多组电极垫130、多条第一连接线140、多条第二连接线150以及一软性电路板160。前述的基板110,具有一第一表面112,且第一表面112外围具有一接合区112a。多条第一电极线120,沿一第一方向D1并排于第一表面112上,且各第一电极线120沿一第二方向D2延伸,其中第一方向D1与第二方向D2正交。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a touch panel according to an embodiment of the invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, the touch panel 100 includes a substrate 110, a plurality of first electrode lines 120, a plurality of sets of electrode pads 130, a plurality of first connection lines 140, a plurality of second connection lines 150 and a flexible circuit board 160. . The aforementioned substrate 110 has a first surface 112 , and a bonding area 112 a is formed on the periphery of the first surface 112 . A plurality of first electrode lines 120 are arranged side by side on the first surface 112 along a first direction D1, and each first electrode line 120 extends along a second direction D2, wherein the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2.

多组电极垫130位于第一表面112上,并且分别对应于第一电极线120设置,其中各组电极垫130沿第二方向D2排列于相应的第一电极线120的一侧。多条第一连接线140分别连接第一电极线120,并且沿第二方向D2延伸至接合区112a。多条第二连接线150分别连接电极垫130,并且沿第二方向D2延伸至接合区112a。软性电路板160,例如以贴附的方式接合至接合区112a。其中软性电路板160包括多个桥接线路162,分别连接第二连接线150,每一桥接线路162通过相应的第二连接线150电性连接同一第一方向D1上的相应电极垫130,以形成一第二电极线132。A plurality of sets of electrode pads 130 are located on the first surface 112 and respectively corresponding to the first electrode lines 120 , wherein each set of electrode pads 130 is arranged on one side of the corresponding first electrode line 120 along the second direction D2 . The plurality of first connection lines 140 are respectively connected to the first electrode lines 120 and extend to the bonding area 112a along the second direction D2. The plurality of second connection lines 150 are respectively connected to the electrode pads 130 and extend to the bonding area 112a along the second direction D2. The flexible circuit board 160 is, for example, bonded to the bonding area 112 a in an adhesive manner. The flexible circuit board 160 includes a plurality of bridging lines 162 respectively connected to the second connection lines 150, and each bridging line 162 is electrically connected to the corresponding electrode pad 130 in the same first direction D1 through the corresponding second connection line 150, so as to A second electrode line 132 is formed.

在本实施例中,各第二连接线150是通过软性电路板160上的桥接线路162将相应的各个电极垫130串接成一第二电极线132,因此不需要在基板110上进行额外的桥接制程,所以可以简化触控面板100的制程,提高生产良率并且节省成本。此外,由于制作在软性电路板160上的桥接线路162中,各线路之间的间距(pitch)会小于直接制作在基板110上所能制作的线路间距,因此将桥接线路162制作在软性电路板160上更兼具缩小触控面板100的边框尺寸的优点。In this embodiment, each second connection line 150 connects the corresponding electrode pads 130 in series to form a second electrode line 132 through the bridging line 162 on the flexible printed circuit board 160, so no additional work on the substrate 110 is required. The bridging process can simplify the process of the touch panel 100 , improve the production yield and save the cost. In addition, since the pitch of each circuit in the bridge circuit 162 fabricated on the flexible circuit board 160 will be smaller than the pitch of the circuit that can be fabricated directly on the substrate 110, the bridge circuit 162 is fabricated on the flexible circuit board 160. The circuit board 160 also has the advantage of reducing the frame size of the touch panel 100 .

另外,在本实施例中,各第一电极线120是沿第二方向D2延伸,且各第二电极线132实质上是沿第一方向D1延伸,所以第一电极线120与第二电极线132实质上是交叉配置在基板110的第一表面112上,形成多行以及多列的阵列排列。通过交叉配置的第一电极线120以及第二电极线132,触控面板100可达成面的感测。当使用者以手指接触触控面板100时,触控面板100的第一电极线120与第二电极线132会在手指所接触的位置上产生一电容的改变。触控面板100便可由此电容上的改变而计算出接触点的坐标并传送至与其连接的电子装置。在本实施例中,第一电极线120为驱动线,而第二电极线132为感测线,利用两种不同的电极线来达到所需要的感测功能。In addition, in this embodiment, each first electrode line 120 extends along the second direction D2, and each second electrode line 132 substantially extends along the first direction D1, so the first electrode lines 120 and the second electrode lines 132 are substantially arranged crosswise on the first surface 112 of the substrate 110 to form an array arrangement of multiple rows and multiple columns. Through the intersecting first electrode lines 120 and second electrode lines 132 , the touch panel 100 can achieve surface sensing. When the user touches the touch panel 100 with a finger, the first electrode lines 120 and the second electrode lines 132 of the touch panel 100 will generate a capacitance change at the position touched by the finger. The touch panel 100 can calculate the coordinates of the contact point from the change in capacitance and transmit it to the electronic device connected thereto. In this embodiment, the first electrode lines 120 are driving lines, and the second electrode lines 132 are sensing lines. Two different electrode lines are used to achieve the required sensing function.

此外,各第二连接线150是相接于各电极垫130的同一侧,并配置在一第一电极线120以及其所相接的电极垫130之间。这样的布局的方式,是将第二连接线150配置在各第一电极线120与电极垫130之间的空间,所以可达到缩减触控面板100的边框尺寸的功能。在本实施例中,各第二连接线150材料包括导电透明材料,例如为铟锡氧化物(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)、铟锌氧化物(Indium Zinc Oxide,IZO)、氧化铝锌(Al doped zinc oxide,AZO)或氧化铟(Indium Oxide)或上述的任意组合等。In addition, each second connection line 150 is connected to the same side of each electrode pad 130 , and is arranged between a first electrode line 120 and the electrode pad 130 connected thereto. Such a layout method is to dispose the second connection lines 150 in the spaces between the first electrode lines 120 and the electrode pads 130 , so that the function of reducing the frame size of the touch panel 100 can be achieved. In this embodiment, the material of each second connection line 150 includes a conductive transparent material, such as indium tin oxide (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO), indium zinc oxide (Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO), aluminum zinc oxide (Al doped zinc oxide, AZO) or indium oxide (Indium Oxide) or any combination of the above, etc.

在本实施例中,第一电极线120以及电极垫130皆位于第一表面112上,可以减少触控面板100的厚度并增加穿透率。因此,当触控面板100与一显示面板整合为具有触控功能的显示器时,可以提供良好的显示效果。In this embodiment, both the first electrode lines 120 and the electrode pads 130 are located on the first surface 112 , which can reduce the thickness of the touch panel 100 and increase the penetration rate. Therefore, when the touch panel 100 is integrated with a display panel to form a display with a touch function, good display effect can be provided.

如图1所绘示,详细而言,触控面板100包括多个接点114,设置于接合区112a内。多个接点114分别连接各第一连接线140与各第二连接线150,并与软性电路板160上的多个引脚164对应接合。此外,触控面板100还包括一控制芯片170,配置在软性电路板160上,且控制芯片170电性连接于软性电路板160。控制芯片170经由软性电路板160电性连接到第一连接线140以及第二连接线150。控制芯片170可以通过第一连接线140以及第二连接线150传输与第一电极线120以及电极垫130中的输入信号以及输出信号。在本实施例中,控制芯片170是配置在软性电路板160上,换句话说,本实施例的控制芯片170是以薄膜覆晶封装(chip-on-film,COF)结构为例。当然,控制芯片170与第一连接线140以及第二连接线150电性连接的方式并不限于此。As shown in FIG. 1 , in detail, the touch panel 100 includes a plurality of contacts 114 disposed in the bonding area 112 a. The plurality of contacts 114 are respectively connected to each of the first connecting wires 140 and each of the second connecting wires 150 , and correspondingly bonded to a plurality of pins 164 on the flexible circuit board 160 . In addition, the touch panel 100 further includes a control chip 170 disposed on the flexible circuit board 160 , and the control chip 170 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 160 . The control chip 170 is electrically connected to the first connection line 140 and the second connection line 150 via the flexible circuit board 160 . The control chip 170 can transmit input signals and output signals to the first electrode lines 120 and the electrode pads 130 through the first connection line 140 and the second connection line 150 . In this embodiment, the control chip 170 is disposed on the flexible circuit board 160 . In other words, the control chip 170 in this embodiment is an example of a chip-on-film (COF) structure. Of course, the manner in which the control chip 170 is electrically connected to the first connection line 140 and the second connection line 150 is not limited thereto.

图2是依照本发明的另一实施例的一种触控面板的示意图。在此必须说明的是,图2沿用图1的元件标号与部分内容,其中采用相同的标号来表示相同或近似的元件,并且省略了相同技术内容的说明。关于省略部分的说明可参考前述实施例,在此不再重复赘述。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a touch panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted here that FIG. 2 continues to use the component numbers and parts of the content in FIG. 1 , wherein the same numbers are used to denote the same or similar components, and the description of the same technical content is omitted. For the description of the omitted part, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not repeated here.

请参考图2,本实施例与图1的实施例的主要差异在于控制芯片270的封装方式。在本实施例中,触控面板200包括一印刷电路板280以及一控制芯片270。印刷电路板电性280连接于软性电路板260,控制芯片270配置于印刷电路板280上,并且通过印刷电路板280以及软性电路板260电性连接到第一连接线140以及第二连接线150。控制芯片270通过第一连接线140以及第二连接线150传输第一电极线120以及电极垫130中的输入信号以及输出信号。由于本实施例的控制芯片270是配置在印刷电路板280上,故本实施例的控制芯片270是以晶粒-电路板封装结构(chip-on-board,COB)为例。此外,软性电路板260可上可配置一连接器,并经由连接器使软性电路板260与印刷电路板280连结。Please refer to FIG. 2 , the main difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 lies in the packaging method of the control chip 270 . In this embodiment, the touch panel 200 includes a printed circuit board 280 and a control chip 270 . The printed circuit board 280 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 260, and the control chip 270 is disposed on the printed circuit board 280, and is electrically connected to the first connection line 140 and the second connection line 140 through the printed circuit board 280 and the flexible circuit board 260. Line 150. The control chip 270 transmits the input signal and the output signal in the first electrode line 120 and the electrode pad 130 through the first connection line 140 and the second connection line 150 . Since the control chip 270 of this embodiment is configured on the printed circuit board 280 , the control chip 270 of this embodiment is a chip-on-board (COB) package structure as an example. In addition, a connector can be disposed on the flexible circuit board 260 , and the flexible circuit board 260 can be connected with the printed circuit board 280 through the connector.

图3是本发明的第一电极线以及电极垫的另一种实施方式的示意图。由于触控面板是通过手指所接触的位置上产生一电容的改变,再通过此电容上的改变而计算出接触点的坐标并传送至与其连接的电子装置。因此,如何使第一电极线以及电极垫之间的耦合电容增加是设计上的要点之一。在本实施例中,各第一电极线320具有对应于电极垫330的多个缺口320a,且各电极垫330的至少一部分位于相应的缺口320a内。在本实施例中,电极垫330的形状与其相应的缺口320a的形状互补。举例而言,当电极垫330是凸状,则缺口320a则为凹状。在电极垫330的形状与其相应的缺口320a的形状为互补的情况下,各第一电极线320以及对应的电极垫330之间的电容可以有效地增加。Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the first electrode line and electrode pad of the present invention. Since the touch panel produces a change in capacitance at the position touched by the finger, and then calculates the coordinates of the touch point through the change in capacitance and transmits it to the electronic device connected thereto. Therefore, how to increase the coupling capacitance between the first electrode lines and the electrode pads is one of the design points. In this embodiment, each first electrode line 320 has a plurality of notches 320 a corresponding to the electrode pads 330 , and at least a part of each electrode pad 330 is located in the corresponding notch 320 a. In this embodiment, the shape of the electrode pad 330 is complementary to the shape of its corresponding notch 320a. For example, when the electrode pad 330 is convex, the notch 320a is concave. In the case that the shape of the electrode pad 330 is complementary to the shape of the corresponding notch 320a, the capacitance between each first electrode line 320 and the corresponding electrode pad 330 can be effectively increased.

承上所述,如图3所绘示,本实施例是以各电极垫330与其相应的缺口320a为梳状为例进行说明。各个梳状实质上是以多个凹部与凸部交错排列而形成,梳状电极垫330中的凸部332会延伸至梳状缺口320a的凹部324内,且梳状缺口320a的凸部322会延伸至梳状电极垫330的凹部334内。如此一来,可增加各第一电极线320与相应的电极垫330之间的电容量,提升触控面板300的操作灵敏度。Based on the above, as shown in FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, each electrode pad 330 and its corresponding notch 320 a are comb-shaped as an example for illustration. Each comb is substantially formed by a plurality of concave portions and convex portions alternately arranged, the convex portion 332 in the comb-shaped electrode pad 330 will extend into the concave portion 324 of the comb-shaped notch 320a, and the convex portion 322 of the comb-shaped notch 320a will extending into the concave portion 334 of the comb electrode pad 330 .
