Patent ID: 8525809

Claim:
A touch panel structure, consisting essentially of: an anti-scratch surface layer made of a tempered transparent plastic film; a first and a second transparent lamination layers; a capacitive sensor layer, comprising: a plastic substrate adhered to a bottom of the anti-scratch surface layer via the first transparent lamination layer, an X-axis first transparent conductive layer deposited on a bottom of the plastic substrate, a Y-axis second transparent conductive layer adhered on a bottom of the X-axis first transparent conductive layer via the second transparent lamination layer, a transparent plastic carrier separate from the plastic substrate wherein the Y-axis second transparent conductive layer is formed on a top surface of the transparent plastic carrier and wherein the two X-axis and Y-axis transparent conductive layers each comprise respectively: a plurality of X-axes first sense elements: and a plurality of Y-axes first sense elements alternately arranged in an array form, such that each sense element in a respective X or Y axis is connected electrically and each sense element in another axis is insulated therefrom; and a conductive layer, directly formed at a bottom of the transparent plastic carrier for providing an EMI shielding function.
