TOUCH SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18505666 titled 'TOUCH SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a touch sensor with rub resistance, bending properties, and moire suppression. The sensor includes a transparent substrate with a display region and a non-display region, as well as a fine metal wire in the display region. The fine metal wire has a mesh pattern composed of layers to be plated and a metal layer, with the layers to be plated having a convex shape containing an organic component. The average line width of the fine metal wires is 1 to 2.5 μm, with a ratio of 1.25 to 1.6 compared to the average line width of the layers to be plated.

Original Abstract Submitted
A touch sensor satisfies three characteristics of rub resistance, bending properties, and suppression of occurrence of a moire. The touch sensor includes a transparent substrate having a display region and a non-display region and a fine metal wire disposed in the display region. A mesh pattern is composed of fine metal wires, and the fine metal wire includes a layer to be plated and a metal layer formed on the layer to be plated in this order from a transparent substrate side. The layer to be plated is a convex shape and includes an organic component as a main component, the fine metal wire has an average line width of 1 to 2.5 μm, and a ratio of the average line width of the fine metal wires to an average line width of layers to be plated is 1.25 to 1.6.
