BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a touch screen panel and a method of manufacturing the same.
2. Discussion of the Background
Touch screen panels are devices that are touched with a finger or a pen to input data. Touch screen panels are divided into resistive touch screen panels, capacitive touch screen panels, optical sensor touch screen panels, and the like, according to the operation principle thereof.
Resistive touch screen panels use the contact between electrodes caused by a pressure equal to or greater than a threshold pressure applied thereon. Capacitive touch screen panels use a change in capacitance that occurs when a finger touches the capacitive touch screen panels.
Resistive touch screen panels and capacitive touch screen panels each comprise a separate touch panel in addition to a conventional display panel that has an upper substrate and a lower substrate. However, this structure deteriorates overall optical characteristics and increases the thickness of display devices.
Therefore, touch screen panels having optical sensors formed in a display panel are being developed. However, when optical sensors are formed on an upper substrate of a display panel, external light is reflected by the optical sensors, switching thin-film transistors, which are connected to the optical sensors and transmit detection signals to a sensing wiring, and metal wiring, which is used for the optical sensors and the switching thin-film transistors. As a result, optical characteristics deteriorate in a bright room. For example, a contrast ratio is reduced.

The other one of the conductive films may be made of a different material, in particular, a material having superior contact characteristics with indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO), such as molybdenum-based metal, chromium, titanium, or tantalum. Examples of multi-film structures comprise a chromium lower film and an aluminum upper film and an aluminum lower film and a molybdenum upper film.

At least a portion of the sensing wiring 20 overlaps the semiconductor layer 17, and at least a portion of the sensing wiring 20 overlaps the light sensing semiconductor layer 16. Here, the ohmic contact layer 19 is interposed between the semiconductor layer 17 and the light sensing semiconductor layer 16, which are disposed under the ohmic contact layer 19, and the sensing wiring 20, which is disposed on the ohmic contact layer 19, and reduces contact resistance between them.
The passivation film 25 is formed on the entire surface of the first substrate 5 having the sensing wiring 20, the semiconductor layer 17, and the light sensing semiconductor layer 16.

Specifically, when light emitted from the backlight unit (not shown) passes through the first substrate 5 and is reflected by a touch member (such as a reflective pen) disposed on the first substrate 5, the optical sensor 55 outputs a sensing signal, which indicates location information, in response to the reflected light.

The common electrode 50 is disposed on the overcoat layer 45 and made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO or IZO. An alignment film (not shown), which aligns liquid crystal molecules (not shown), may be coated on the common electrode 50.
The principle by which the first reflection-preventing film 8 aligned with the first gate wiring 10 reduces the reflection of the external light OL will now be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 3, the first reflection-preventing film 8 is formed on the first substrate 5, and the first gate wiring 10 is formed on the first reflection-preventing film 8.
The first gate wiring 10 has a double-film structure composed of a first gate wiring lower film 10a and a first gate wiring upper film 10b. 
Specifically, the first reflection-preventing film 8 may be an amorphous indium tin oxide (a-ITO) film, the first gate wiring lower film 10a may be an aluminum film, and the first gate wiring upper film 10b may be a molybdenum film.
Referring back to FIG. 3, the external light OL (that is, external light OL2) reflected by the first gate wiring lower film 10a deteriorates optical characteristics in a bright room and reduces a contrast ratio (CR). However, in the case of the touch screen panel according to the first exemplary embodiment, the external light OL (that is, external light OL1) is also reflected by the first reflection-preventing film 8. As a result, the amount of the external light OL2 reflected by the first gate wiring lower film 10a in a bright room is reduced.
Specifically, the external light OL2 reflected by the first gate wiring lower film 10a and the external light OL1 reflected by the first reflection-preventing film 8 destructively interfere with each other. Thus, the reflection of the external light OL2 by the first gate wiring lower film 10a is reduced.
When the first reflection-preventing film 8 is formed to reduce the reflection of the external light OL, the deterioration of optical characteristics in a bright room due to the reflection of the external light OL by a metal wiring layer, such as the first gate wiring 10, can be prevented. In addition, a reduction in the contrast ratio can be prevented.
Hereinafter, a touch screen panel according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the touch screen panel according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, taken along line II-II′ of FIG. 1. FIG. 5 is a view for explaining a principle by which the touch screen panel according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention reduces the reflection of external light OL.
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the touch screen panel according to the second exemplary embodiment comprises a first substrate 5, a first gate wiring 10, a second reflection-preventing film 18, a sensing wiring 20, and a second gate wiring 30.
Specifically, the first gate wiring 10 is formed on the first substrate 5, and the second reflection-preventing film 18 and the sensing wiring 20 are formed above the gate wiring 10. The second reflection-preventing film 18 and the sensing wiring 20 are insulated from the first gate wiring 10 and cross the first gate wiring 10. The second reflection-preventing film 18 and the sensing wiring 20 may be aligned with each other.
The second gate wiring 30 is formed above the sensing wiring 20 to extend parallel to the sensing wiring 20. In addition, the second gate wiring 30 is insulated from the first gate wiring 10 and crosses the first gate wiring 10.
The touch screen panel according to the second exemplary embodiment is identical to the touch screen panel according to the previous exemplary embodiment except that the second reflection-preventing film 18 is formed in the present exemplary embodiment while the first reflection-preventing film 8 is formed in the previous exemplary embodiment. Thus, a description of elements identical to those of the previous exemplary embodiment will be omitted.
The second reflection-preventing film 18 aligned with the sensing wiring 20 may be metal oxide or nitride, for example, SiNx. Specifically, the second reflection-preventing film 18 may be amorphous indium tin oxide (a-ITO).
The second reflection-preventing film 18 may also be an oxide of a metal material that constitutes the sensing wiring 20. That is, when the sensing wiring 20 is a triple film composed of a molybdenum film, an aluminum film, and a molybdenum film, the second reflection-preventing film 18 may be a molybdenum oxide (MoOx) film.
The second reflection-preventing film 18 reduces the reflection of the external light OL by the sensing wiring 20.
The principle by which the second reflection-preventing film 18 aligned with the sensing wiring 20 reduces the reflection of the external light OL will now be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5.
Referring to FIG. 5, a gate insulating film 15 is formed on the first substrate 5, and the second reflection-preventing film 18 is formed on the gate insulating film 15. The sensing wiring 20 is formed on the second reflection-preventing film 18.
The sensing wiring 20 may have a triple-film structure composed of a sensing wiring lower film 21, a sensing wiring intermediate film 22, and a sensing wiring upper film 23.
Specifically, the second reflection-preventing film 18 may be an amorphous indium tin oxide (a-ITO) film, the sensing wiring lower film 21 may be a molybdenum film, the sensing wiring intermediate film 22 may be an aluminum film, and the sensing wiring upper film 23 may be a molybdenum film.
Referring back to FIG. 5, the external light OL (that is, external light OL5) reflected by the sensing wiring intermediate film 22 deteriorates optical characteristics in a bright room and reduces a contrast ratio. However, in the case of the touch screen panel according to the second exemplary embodiment, the external light OL (that is, external light OL3 and OL4) is also reflected by the second reflection-preventing film 18. As a result, the amount of the external is light OL5 reflected by the sensing wiring intermediate film 22 in a bright room is reduced.
Specifically, the external light OL5 reflected by the sensing wiring intermediate film 22 and the external light OL3 and OL4 reflected by the second reflection-preventing film 18 destructively interfere with each other. Thus, the reflection of the external light OL5 by the sensing wiring intermediate film 22 is reduced.
When the second reflection-preventing film 18 is formed to reduce the reflection of the external light OL, the deterioration of optical characteristics in a bright room due to the reflection of the external light OL by a metal wiring layer, such as the sensing wiring 20, can be prevented. In addition, a reduction in the contrast ratio can be prevented.

EXAMPLE
A molybdenum film was stacked on a transparent insulating substrate to a is thickness of 500 Å, and an aluminium film was stacked on the molybdenum film to a thickness of 2500 Å. Then, the reflectivity of the resultant structure was measured three times by irradiating light onto the aluminium film.
Next, an amorphous indium tin oxide (a-ITO) film was stacked on the aluminium film to thicknesses of 350, 450, 550, and 650 Å for different experiments. Then, the reflectivity of each of the resultant structures was measured by irradiating light onto the amorphous indium tin oxide film. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
Referring to Table 1, when the amorphous indium tin oxide film is not formed, a reflectivity of more than 95 (see Experiment 1, Experiment 2, and Experiment 3) is obtained when light is irradiated to the aluminium film. However, when the amorphous indium tin oxide film is formed on the aluminium film, a reflectivity of 7 to 8 (see Experiment 4, Experiment 5, Experiment 6, and Experiment 7) is obtained when light is irradiated onto the amorphous indium tin oxide film. That is, the amorphous indium tin oxide film reduces the reflection of light by the aluminium film.
