TOUCH SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256098 titled 'TOUCH SENSOR
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a touch sensor with a substrate, touch electrode, pad part, connection line, insulating layer, and connection electrode.
- The touch sensor has a sensing area and a non-sensing area on the substrate.
- A touch electrode is on the sensing area, while a pad part is on the non-sensing area.
- The connection line connects the touch electrode and pad part, with a first and second connection line.
- A first insulating layer covers the connection line, exposing part of the second connection line.
- A connection electrode on the insulating layer connects to the exposed second connection line.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Integration of touch electrode, pad part, and connection line on a substrate.
- Use of insulating layer to expose and connect the second connection line.
- Efficient design for touch sensor functionality.
Potential Applications:
- Touchscreens for electronic devices.
- Interactive displays in public spaces.
- Biometric security systems.
Problems Solved:
- Simplifying touch sensor design.
- Enhancing touch sensitivity.
- Improving connection reliability.
Benefits:
- Increased accuracy in touch detection.
- Enhanced durability of touch sensors.
- Cost-effective manufacturing process.
Commercial Applications: Touch sensors with this design can be used in smartphones, tablets, kiosks, and other electronic devices, improving user interaction and device functionality.
