The present invention relates to a method for mounting components directly on a touch window.
The touch window may be a cathode ray tube (CRT), a liquid crystal display (LCD), a field emission display (FED), a plasma display panel (PDP) And an electro luminescence device (ELD), and is a device for inputting predetermined information to an electronic device by pressing a touch panel while a user views the image display device.
1 is a view showing an example of bonding a touch screen panel and an FPCB according to the related art.
1, a touch window includes a transparent window for receiving an external touch input, a display area (V / A) for accommodating the touch input by forming an electrode pattern below the transparent window, A touch screen panel (TSP) that implements a dead area (D / A) that does not accommodate the touch input, and a touch screen panel that is electrically connected to the touch screen panel, ; And a button unit implemented as a button (icon) in the F / A.

Accordingly, the touch window is coupled to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) 20 having a built-in driving chip through the pad region 10.
Conventionally, an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) bonding process for bonding the pad region 10 and the FPC 20 must be performed after the pad region 10 and the FPC 20 are processed separately. In addition, in order to sufficiently bond the pad region 10 and the flexible circuit board 20 in the ACF bonding process, the pad region 10 must be coated with Ag and soldered at a high temperature of 250 캜 or higher.
However, the process of bonding and bonding the pad region 10 and the flexible circuit board 20 has a disadvantage in that the process cost is high and it takes a long time. Further, when soldering at a high temperature, there is a problem that parts mounted on the touch screen panel are damaged.

3, the touch window includes a sensing electrode 310 for forming an electrode pattern in a V / A (View Area) of a transparent window, a wiring pattern corresponding to the electrode pattern, A wiring part 320 for transmitting the sensed touch sensing signal and a conductive polymer for mounting the connector 330 including the driving chip driven by the touch sensing signal on the wiring part 320. [ Here, the conductive polymer may be applied to a region where the connector 330 is to be mounted.
The wiring part 320 may be connected to the connector 330 through the pad area 10.
Conventionally, an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) bonding process has been performed on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) and a touch screen panel to connect a connector for mounting a driving chip to a touch screen panel. In order to bond the touch screen panel and the flexible circuit board well during the ACF bonding process, Ag is applied to the pad area of the touch screen panel and soldering is performed at a high temperature of 250 ° C or higher. However, when the soldering process is performed at a high temperature of 250 캜 or more, the parts mounted on the touch screen panel may be damaged.
However, in the present invention, the ACF bonding process can be eliminated by directly mounting the connector including the driving chip on the touch screen panel using the conductive polymer. This is because when the conductive polymer is used, the connector can be directly mounted on the touch screen panel without connecting the driving chip mounted on the connector by using the flexible circuit board. Since the conductive polymer can be cured at room temperature, This is not necessary.
The conductive polymer may be composed of at least one of a Teflon, an acrylic, and a urethane based conductive material. The conductive polymer may mount the connector in an inactive area (D / A) that does not receive the touch sensing signal.
For reference, the screen area is an area where an image is displayed on the screen, which is an area that can receive a touch input from the outside. The non-active area is an area where the touch input can not be accommodated, and a wiring pattern of the wiring part is formed. The non-active region may be formed with a print pattern for covering the wiring pattern.
The sensing electrodes formed on the screen region may be formed in various ways according to the structure of the touch window. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the sensing electrode is formed will be described.
In the first embodiment, the sensing electrode 310 includes a first sensing electrode on which a first electrode pattern is formed directly on the transparent window, and a second electrode on the base substrate bonded to the other surface of the first sensing electrode by an adhesive layer. And a second sensing electrode on which a pattern is formed. Referring to the drawings, the first sensing electrode may be a pattern formed in a longitudinal direction, the second sensing electrode may be a pattern formed in a lateral direction, or vice versa.
In the second embodiment, the sensing electrode 310 may have a structure in which both the first electrode pattern and the second electrode pattern are formed on one surface of the base substrate bonded to the transparent window and on the other surface opposite to the one surface.
In the third embodiment, the sensing electrode 310 includes a first sensing electrode on which a first electrode pattern is formed on a first base substrate bonded on one side of the transparent window, and a second sensing electrode on the other side of the second sensing electrode And a second sensing electrode on which a second electrode pattern is formed on the bonded second base substrate.
Referring to FIG. 4, the touch window includes a touch screen panel which forms an electrode pattern on a lower portion of a transparent window for receiving an external touch input and implements an inactive area that does not accommodate the touch input, A button unit 420 electrically connected to the touch screen panel and having a button formed in a function area F / A of the transparent window, And a conductive polymer 430 for mounting the light source 440.
The conductive polymer 430 can mount the side view type LED 440 on both sides of the button portion 420. The conductive polymer 430 may be composed of at least one of Teflon, acrylic, and urethane based conductive materials.
Further, although not shown, the touch window may further include a diffusion sheet for diffusing light generated in the light source 440 in a button region where the light source 440 is mounted.
A touch screen panel (TSP) 410 includes a first sensing electrode on which a first electrode pattern is formed directly on a transparent window, and a second electrode on a base substrate bonded to the other surface of the first sensing electrode by an adhesive layer. And a second sensing electrode on which a pattern is formed. Alternatively, the touch screen panel 410 may have a structure in which a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern are formed on one surface of the base substrate adhered to the transparent window and on the other surface opposite to the one surface. The touch screen panel 410 includes a first sensing electrode on which a first electrode pattern is formed on a first base substrate adhered on one side of the transparent window and a second sensing electrode on the other side of the second sensing electrode, And a second sensing electrode on which a second electrode pattern is formed on the substrate.
The touch window according to the present invention can be attached to various display devices. That is, the display device may be not only a liquid crystal display but also an organic light emitting display device, a plasma display panel, or the like. At this time, in order to prevent a noise component generated by the driving of the display device or the like from being transmitted to the touch screen panel and causing malfunction of the touch sensing panel, a shield layer is selectively disposed between the touch sensing panel and the display device It is possible.
