Abstract:
A touch panel defines a touch area and a reduced border area surrounding the touch area. The touch panel includes a substrate, a first conductive layer on the substrate, an insulating layer on the substrate and covering the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer on the insulating layer. The second conductive layer includes first electrodes and strings of second electrodes in the touch area, each string of second electrodes extending in a first direction. The first conductive layer is conductive but almost opaque. The first conductive layer includes a decorative portion in the border area and first bridge portions in the touch area. Each first bridge portion is electrically coupled between adjacent two first electrodes in a second direction that intersects with the first direction. The decorative portion is configured to release static electricity and shield the border area.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for making a touch panel, comprising:\n providing a substrate and forming a first conductive layer on a surface of the substrate, the first conductive layer being made of an electrically conductive opaque material, the substrate defining a touch area and a border area surrounding the touch area; patterning the first conductive layer to form a plurality of first bridge portions in the touch area and a decorative portion in the border area; forming an insulating layer on the substrate, the insulating layer covering the plurality of first bridge portions and the decorative portion; defining a first through hole and a plurality of second through hole in the insulating layer, the decorative portion exposing from the insulating layer by the first through hole, each of the plurality of first bridge portions exposing from the insulating layer by two of the plurality of second through hole; forming a second conductive layer on the insulating layer; patterning the second conductive layer to form a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of strings of second electrodes in the touch area; the plurality of first electrodes being spaced apart from each other and spaced apart from the plurality of strings of second electrodes; each of plurality of first electrodes extends into at least one of the plurality of second through hole to electrically couple to at least one of plurality of first bridge portions.
