With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the figures illustrate a method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Wherein FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are top plan views, FIG. 4 is a cross-section view of G-G′ section line along FIG. 3. To facilitate the description, each figure of the present disclosure is only illustrated for easier understanding the present disclosure, the detailed proportion thereof may be adjusted to meet design requirement. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the method of manufacturing a touch panel in accordance with a better embodiment of the present disclosure includes following steps. Firstly as shown in FIG. 1, a method for providing a substrate 190. The substrate 190 is provided with a plurality of strip sensing regions R with fixed lengths extending along a first direction X, wherein adjacent strip sensing regions R are aligned along a second direction Y. In other words, the strip sensing regions R are disposed on the substrate 190. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first direction X can be perpendicular to the second direction Y. Each of the strip sensing regions R has a first terminal LE and a second terminal RE corresponding to the first terminal LE in the first direction X. The substrate 190 of the present embodiment can include hard substrates such as glass substrate or ceramal substrate, flexible substrate such as plastic substrate or other applicable material substrate. Further the method involves forming a conducting layer 170 on the substrate 190. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the conducting layer 170 can include transparent conducting materials, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO) and aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) or other applicable opaque conducting material, such as silver, aluminum, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, composite layer of foregoing materials or alloy of foregoing materials, but not limited to the present. Once the conducting layer 170 is formed, a patterning process can be performed on the conducting layer 170, as shown in FIG. 2, wherein the first terminal LE of each strip sensing region R is respectively formed with a first strip sensing electrode 110, while the second terminal RE of each strip sensing region R is respectively formed with a second strip sensing electrode 130. In the present embodiment the first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 can be simultaneously formed by same patterning process. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the present process and the first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 can be formed by utilizing different patterning processes. Each of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 extends along a direction from the first terminal LE forward the second terminal RE of each of the strip sensing regions R, and each of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 extends along a direction from the second terminal RE forward the first terminal LE of each of the strip sensing regions R. In other words, each of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 is disposed correspondingly to each of the strip sensing regions R with fixed lengths, and each of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 is disposed correspondingly to each of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 in each of the strip sensing regions R. The first strip sensing electrode 110 and the corresponding second strip sensing electrode 130 in each strip sensing region R are electrically disconnected from each other, and the lengths thereof are complementary to each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a peripheral wire layer 180 is formed on the substrate 190. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the peripheral wire layer 180 may include transparent conducting materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO) and aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) or other applicable opaque conducting material, such as silver, aluminum, copper, magnesium, molybdenum, composite layer of foregoing materials or alloy of foregoing materials, but not limited. Further, a manufacturing process such as a photolithography etching process can be performed on the peripheral wire layer 180 to form a plurality of first wires 180A and a plurality of second wires 180B. However, the present disclosure is not limited, and it may utilize other manufacturing process such as a lift of process to form the first wires 180A and the second wires 180B as required. Each of the first wires 180A can be electrically connected to each of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 on the first terminal LE of each of the strip sensing region R, and each of the second wires 180B can be electrically connected to each of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 on the second terminal RE of each of the strip sensing regions R. By virtue of foregoing manufacturing method touch panel 100 shown in FIG. 3 can be completed. It is worth explaining that, in the present disclosure, patterning process can include a photolithography process with photo mask and an etching process. However, the present disclosure is not limited, and it may utilize other method such as the lift-off process for patterning. Moreover, the method of manufacturing the touch panel in accordance with the present embodiment further include forming a protective layer (not shown) to cover the substrate 190, each that sensing electrode 110, each second sensing electrode 130, each first wire 180A and each second wire 180B, so as to achieve the effect of preventing environmental impacts.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, each first strip sensing electrode 110 is electrically connected with each other, and each second strip sensing electrode 130 is electrically disconnected with each other. However, it is not limited to the present and a part of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 or a part of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 may be electrically connected to meet design requirement. Since each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130 in accordance with the present embodiment are respectively connected with corresponding first wires 180A and second wires 180B, the design and manufacture of connecting wires and insulating materials between each sensing electrode can be omitted and the touch panel 100 of the present embodiment can be completed by two-time film-forming process and two-time corresponding photolithography etching process so that the manufacturing method is simplified and the manufacturing cast is reduced.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, lengths of the adjacent first strip sensing electrodes 110 in the second direction Y are different from each other and the lengths of the adjacent second strip sensing electrodes 110 in the second direction Y are different from each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the first strip sensing electrodes 110 may include a first strip sensing electrode 111, a first strip sensing electrode 112, a first strip sensing electrode 113, a first strip sensing electrode 114 and a first strip sensing electrode 115 with different lengths.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a touch panel 100 may include a sensing combination region S1, a sensing combination region S2, a sensing combination region S3, and a sensing combination region S4, which may respectively include a plurality of adjacently aligned strip sensing regions R. In the sensing combination region S1, lengths of first strip sensing electrodes 110 can be digressive along the second direction Y and lengths of second strip sensing electrodes 130 can be progressive along the second direction Y. More specifically in the sensing combination region S1, length of the first strip sensing electrode 115 may be greater than the length of the first strip sensing electrode 114, length of the first strip sensing electrode 114 may be greater than the length of the first strip sensing electrode 113, length of the first strip sensing electrode 113 may be greater than the length of the first strip sensing electrode 112, and length of the first strip sensing electrode 112 may be greater than the length of the first strip sensing electrode 111.

It would be appreciated that lengths of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 and the second strip sensing electrodes 130, in each strip sensing region R of the present embodiment, can be complementary to each other, namely, and the situation, length L112 of the first strip sensing electrode 112 is greater than length L111 of the first strip sensing electrode 111 and length L132 of the second strip sensing electrode 132 is less than length L131 of the second strip sensing electrode 131, wherein sum of lengths of the first strip sensing electrode 111 and the second strip sensing electrode 131 in the same strip sensing region R may be roughly equal to sum of lengths of the first strip sensing electrode 112 and the second strip sensing electrode 133 in another strip sensing region R.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, length distributions of each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130 in sensing combination region S1, sensing combination region S2, and sensing combination region S3 are similar to each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the present and length distribution condition of each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130 in each sensing combination region can be adjusted as per requirement. Moreover, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, lengths of each first strip sensing electrode 110 can also be in a progressive relationship along the second direction Y, and the lengths of each second strip sensing electrode 130 can be in a digressive relationship along the second direction Y. According to the foregoing, with length collocations of each strip sensing electrode, it is possible to achieve touch sensing recognition effect for different regions.
With reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 illustrates a diagram of a touch panel 100 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the touch panel 100 of the present disclosure includes a substrate 190, a plurality of first sensing electrodes 110, and a plurality of second strip sensing electrodes 130. The first strip sensing electrodes 110 and the second strip sensing electrodes 130 are disposed on the substrate 190. A plurality of strip sensing regions R with fixed lengths is distributed over the substrate 190. The strip sensing regions R extend along a first direction X, and the adjacent strip sensing regions R are aligned along a second direction Y. Each of the strip sensing regions R has a first terminal LE and a second terminal RE that corresponds to the first terminal LE. The first strip sensing electrodes 110 are respectively disposed on the first terminal LE of each strip sensing regions R, and the second strip sensing electrodes 130 are respectively disposed on the second terminal LE of each strip sensing regions R. In other words, the first strip sensing electrodes 110 are respectively correspondingly disposed in each strip sensing regions R with fixed length, and the second strip sensing electrodes 130 are disposed in each strip sensing region R and corresponding to each first strip sensing electrode 110. The first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 in each strip sensing region R are adjacently disposed, and each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130 are electrically separated from each other. Be noted It can be noted that in the present embodiment that a length of each adjacent first strip sensing electrode 110 in the second direction Y is different from each other, and a length of each adjacent second strip sensing electrode 130 in the second direction Y is different from each other. Moreover each of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 can extend from the first terminal LE forward toward the second terminal RE of each of the strip sensing regions R, and each of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 can extend from the first terminal LE forward toward the second terminal RE of each of the strip sensing regions R. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch panel 100 further includes a sensing combination region S1, a sensing combination region S2, a sensing combination region S3 and a sensing combination region S4, which respectively include a plurality of adjacently aligned strip sensing regions R. In the sensing combination region S1, length of each first strip sensing electrode 110 may be in a digressive relationship along the second direction Y, and length of each second strip sensing electrode 130 may be in a progressive relationship along the second direction Y. The sum of lengths of the first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 in the same strip sensing region R may be roughly equal to the sum of lengths of the first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 in another strip sensing region R. Namely, each of the second strip sensing electrodes 130 and the corresponding first strip sensing electrodes 100 are electrically disconnected from each other and lengths thereof are complementary to each other. In addition, touch panel 100 of the present disclosure may further include a plurality of first wires 180A and a plurality of second wires 180B, Wherein each first wire 180A is electrically connected to each first strip sensing electrode 110 on the first terminal LE of each of the strip sensing region R, and each second wire 1808 is electrically connected to each second strip sensing electrode 130 on the second terminal RE of each strip sensing region R. Configuration changes and material properties of each component of the touch panel 100, according to the present embodiment, are already described in the above disclosed method for manufacturing the touch panel of and therefore not described here again.
In an embodiment, in the setting modes and length collocations of each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130 of the touch panel 100, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve touch sensing recognition effect for different regions. As shown in FIG. 5, when a touch point T1 and a touch point T2 are touched, although the touch point T1 and the touch point T2 are both in the sensing combination region S2, difference between the touch point T1 and the touch point T2 can be judged based on the signal representing change in capacitance of each first strip sensing electrode 110 and each second strip sensing electrode 130, wherein the change in capacitance is due to difference in length collocations of the first strip sensing electrode 110 and the second strip sensing electrode 130 in each strip sensing region R of the sensing combination region S1. More specifically, when the touch point T1 is touched, capacitance effect of forgoing sensing electrodes is affected as the touch point T1 covers the first strip sensing electrode 112, the first strip sensing electrode 113, the first strip sensing electrode 114, the first strip sensing electrode 115, the second strip sensing electrode 131, and the second strip sensing electrode 132 in the sensing combination region S1. On the other hand, when the touch point T2 is touched, capacitance effect of forgoing sensing electrodes would be affected as the touch point T2 covers the second strip sensing electrode 131, the second strip sensing electrode 132, the second strip sensing electrode 133, the second strip sensing electrode 133, the first strip sensing electrode 114, and the first strip sensing electrode 115 in the sensing combination region S1. In other words, length collocation of the first strip sensing electrodes 110 and the second strip sensing electrodes 130 in each strip sensing region R are changed so that position changes of the touch point T1 and the touch point T2 in the first direction X can be recognized by judging the difference between affected first strip sensing electrodes 110 and second strip sensing electrodes 130. In addition, when the touch point T3 has being touched, position changes of the touch point T3 and the touch point T1 in the second direction Y can be recognized by judging the capacitance effects caused to different first strip sensing electrodes 110 and second strip sensing electrodes 130 in the second direction Y. Accordingly multi-point touch recognition effect can be achieved under the sensing electrodes design of the touch panel 100 of the present embodiment.

It would be appreciated that since the touch panel 200 of the present embodiment only includes a sensing combination region S, touchable recognition region in the first direction X would focus nearby a diagonal on the panel and is different from the distribution condition of the touchable recognition region of the touch panel 100 in foregoing embodiment so that the length changes of each first strip sensing electrode and each second strip sensing electrode can adjust based on the application scope of the touch panel.
