Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A method of manufacturing a resistive, touch sensor, comprising:
providing a first adhesive layer;
providing a second adhesive layer, the second adhesive layered dimensioned smaller than the first adhesive layer;
dry bonding the first and second adhesive layers such that the peripheral edges of the second adhesive layer are positioned inward relative to the peripheral edges of the first adhesive layer;
dry bonding the bonded first and second adhesive layers on a sensor top sheet further bonded in spaced apart relation, via a peripheral edge seal, to a base layer, wherein the first adhesive layer bonds to a peripheral edge portion of the sensor top sheet and the second adhesive layer bonds to a touch active area of the sensor top sheet such that the sensor top sheet is caused to deform proximate the peripheral edge seal to position the touch active area of the sensor top sheet closer to the base layer as compared to the peripheral edge portion of the sensor top sheet; and
bonding a cover layer on the first adhesive layer.
