Patent ID: 7764273

Claim:
A touch panel having a fingerprint domain, comprising: a TFT array, disposed on a display panel, including a plurality of thin film transistors and a plurality of signal lines, wherein the signal lines and the thin film transistors define a plurality of pixels; a transparent conductive pattern layer disposed above said signal lines, defining a plurality of conductive islets aligned and overlapping with said signal lines respectively, and electrically connected to said TFTs, wherein each of the conductive islets is substantially only located in a peripheral area of a respective pixel; a spacing pattern layer disposed on the display panel and surrounding the fingerprint domain; and a flexible conductive layer disposed on said spacing pattern layer; whereby when pressure is applied onto said flexible conductive layer, said flexible conductive layer contacts said transparent conductive pattern layer to transmit an electrical signal via said signal lines into said TFTs to indicate the point of contact.
