Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laminated structure having a three-dimensional shape and a touch panel module having the laminated structure, and more particularly to a laminated structure and a touch panel module which are not easily affected by noise.
- touch panels are increasingly used as input devices for portable electronic devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs (personal computers). These devices are required to have high portability, operability, and design. For example, by using a device having a curved surface shape, it can be used by being attached to a part of the body. Further, for example, by providing the input part not only on the display screen but also on the side surface or the ridge line part, it is possible to improve the operability even in a small device. If the touch sensor function can be provided to the exterior cover of the portable device, the number of parts can be reduced, and the device can be downsized and the portability can be improved. Furthermore, if the shape of the touch panel can be freely designed three-dimensionally, the device can be designed freely, and a device with high design properties can be manufactured.
- the conventional touch panel has a planar shape and the input surface is limited, it is necessary to combine a plurality of input devices in order to realize the functions as described above, resulting in limitations on the shape or size of the device. Therefore, it was difficult to implement.

Abstract
Description
また、携帯機器の外装カバーにタッチセンサー機能を付与することができれば、部品点数の削減を図ることができ、装置の小型化とそれによる携帯性の向上が実現可能となる。さらに、タッチパネルの形状を立体的に自由に設計できれば、装置を自由にデザインすることができ、意匠性の高い装置を作製することが可能となる。
例えば、特許文献1に、3次元形状を有するカバーレンズの裏面側にフィルムセンサが貼り付けられたタッチスクリーンが記載されている。具体的には、カバーレンズは、矩形の天面板と、天面板の一辺に連なる短冊形の第1の側面板と、第1の側面板に対向して天面板の別の一辺に連なる短冊形の第2の側面板とを備えた筐体構造である。
上述のような加工方法を用いて、メインのタッチ入力面となる平面部とモジュールの側面部を一体化したカバー部材形状の実現が検討されている。このような構造体が実現できれば、例えば、タッチセンサーの周辺配線領域をモジュール側面部に配置させることにより、タッチ入力面を兼ねる正面の画像表示部の周辺額縁領域を狭めることができ、意匠性の高いタッチパネルモジュールを作製することが可能である。
また、本発明は、可撓性を有する透明基板上に金属細線で構成された複数の導電層を有する透明導電部材と、透明基板上に形成され、各導電層と電気的に接続された配線と、光学的に透明な領域を備え、透明導電部材を保護するための保護部材と、透明導電部材と保護部材との間に位置する光学的に透明な接着剤層とを備える3次元形状を有する積層体を有し、積層体は、少なくとも平面部と、平面部に連続して形成された屈曲部とを備え、配線は、屈曲部に引き回されて、屈曲部の先端で可撓性を有する配線部材に接続されていることを特徴とする積層構造体を提供するものである。
透明導電部材は、保護部材の屈曲部の内側に配置されることが好ましい。
例えば、導電層は、金属細線で構成されたメッシュ構造の導電パターンを有する。
導電層は、透明基板の両面に形成されていることが好ましい。
導電層は、透明基板の片面に形成されており、導電層が片面に形成された透明基板が2つ積層されている構成とすることもできる。
屈曲部に引き回された配線は、屈曲部の先端に設けられた複数の端子に分けて接続されており、配線部材は、複数の端子に接続されていることが好ましい。この場合、複数の端子に接続された配線部材は、複数の端子の数に応じた分岐部を有する1つの配線部材であることが好ましい。また、透明導電部材は、保護部材からはみ出していることが好ましい。
また、本発明の積層構造体を有するタッチパネルモジュールを提供する。
なお、以下において数値範囲を示す「~」とは両側に記載された数値を含む。例えば、εが数値α~数値βとは、εの範囲は数値αと数値βを含む範囲であり、数学記号で示せばα≦ε≦βである。
また、透明とは、光透過率が可視光波長(波長400nm~800nm)において、少なくとも60%以上のことであり、好ましくは80%以上であり、より好ましくは90%以上、さらにより好ましくは95%以上のことである。
本発明の積層構造体は、例えば、タッチパネルに用いることができる。具体例として、例えば、図1に示す積層構造体12を用いたタッチパネル10について説明する。
タッチパネル10は、LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)等の表示装置18とともに用いられ、表示装置18上に設けられる。このため、表示装置18で表示される画像を認識させるために、光学的に透明な領域を備える。表示装置18は、動画等を含め画像を画面に表示することができれば、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、液晶表示装置、有機EL装置および電子ペーパ等を用いることができる。
タッチパネル10を指等でタッチすると、タッチした位置で静電容量の変化が生じるが、この静電容量の変化がコントローラ14で検知されて、タッチした位置の座標が特定される。コントローラ14は、積層構造体12の外部機器であり、タッチパネルの検出に利用される公知のもので構成される。なお、タッチパネルが、静電容量式であれば静電容量式のコントローラを、抵抗膜式であれば抵抗膜式のコントローラを適宜利用することができる。
積層構造体12の平面部12aと屈曲部12b、12cとで構成される凹部12dに、LCD等の表示装置18が、表示面18aを平面部12aに向けて配置される。また、コントローラ14は、表示装置18の裏面18bに設けられる。
なお、積層構造体12は、表示装置18が配置されるため、表示面18aに表示される動画等を含め画像を認識できるように、表示面18aの範囲に合わせて、平面部12aおよび屈曲部12b、12cを適宜透明にする。
接着剤層22は、光学的に透明であり、かつ積層体20をカバー部材24に接着することができれば、特に限定されるものではない。例えば、光学的透明な粘着剤(OCA)、UV硬化樹脂等の光学的透明な樹脂(OCR)を用いることができる。
カバー部材24は、積層体20を保護するためのものであり、例えば、ポリカーボネートおよびガラス等で構成される。カバー部材24も、表示装置18の表示画像を認識できるように透明であることが好ましい。
各第1の導電層40は、その一端において端子部(図示せず)と電気的に接続されている。さらに、各端子部は第1の配線42と電気的に接続されている。各第1の配線42は、2つの屈曲部12b、12cのうち、一方の屈曲部12cの先端13に引き回されて、先端13に設けられた端子44にまとめられて接続されている。端子44には、先端13に設けられたFPC15が接続されており、FPC15はコントローラ14に接続されている。
第1の導電層40、第1の配線42および端子44ならびに第1の導電層40、第1の配線42および端子44については、後に詳細に説明する。
なお、積層構造体12とコントローラ14とでタッチパネルモジュール16が構成される。
屈曲部12b、12cにまたがる第1の導電層40は検出を正しく行うのが難しく、検出のための調整も複雑となるため、第1の配線42ができるだけ短くなるように配置することでノイズの影響を受けにくい積層構造体12、および積層構造体12を有するタッチパネルモジュール16を得ることができる。
図3(a)は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体を示す模式図であり、(b)は、透明導電部材の一例を示す模式的断面図である。なお、積層体20は、積層構造体12と同様に3次元形状を有するものであるが、図3(a)、(b)では積層体20の構成を示すため、平面状に示している。
積層体20は、下から保護部材32および透明導電部材30の順で積層されて構成されている。
なお、1つの透明基板36の表面36aに第1の導電層40を、裏面36bに第2の導電層50を形成することにより、透明基板36が収縮しても第1の導電層40と第2の導電層50との位置関係のズレを小さくすることができる。
また、透明基板36の裏面36bには、図示はしないが、第2の導電層50と接続される第2の配線52と、第2の配線52が接続される端子54が形成されている。
保護部材32はタッチパネルのタッチ面を兼ねることもできる。この場合、上述のカバー部材24は不要となる。保護部材32の表面にハードコート層および反射防止層の少なくとも1つを設けることもできる。
図3(a)、(b)に示す積層体20は、保護部材32/第2の導電層50/透明基板36/第1の導電層40の構成である。例えば、積層体20の保護部材32が積層構造体12の平面部12a、屈曲部12b、12cとなる。
第1の導電層40と第2の導電層50を、金属細線38が交差してメッシュ状となったメッシュ電極とすると、抵抗を低くでき、3次元形状に成形する際に断線しにくく、さらには断線が発生した場合にも抵抗値の影響を低減できる。
金属細線38がタッチパネル用導電フィルムにおける周辺配線(引出し配線)として適用される場合には、金属細線38の線幅は500μm以下が好ましく、50μm以下がより好ましく、30μm以下が特に好ましい。上述の範囲であれば、低抵抗のタッチパネル電極を比較的容易に形成できる。
端子部(図示せず)、第1の配線42、端子44、第2の配線52および端子54も、例えば、上述の金属細線38の形成方法で形成することができる。
ここで、図3(c)は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の一例の変形例を示す模式図であり、図4(a)は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の他の例を示す模式図であり、(b)は、透明導電部材の他の例を示す模式的断面図である。
なお、積層体20aも積層体20bも、積層構造体12と同様に3次元形状を有するものであるが、積層体20と同じく、図3(c)および図4(a)、(b)では積層体20a、20bの構成を示すため、平面状に示している。
接着剤層34の形態は、特に限定されるものではなく、接着剤を塗布することで形成してもよく、接着シートを用いてもよい。
図4(b)に示すように、透明導電部材30aでは、透明基板36の表面36aに金属細線38で構成された第1の導電層40が形成され、別の透明基板36の表面36aに金属細線38で構成された第2の導電層50が形成されている。透明導電部材30aは、第2の導電層50上に光学的に透明な接着剤層(図示せず)を配置して2つの透明基板36が積層されたものである。このように、1つの透明基板36に導電層を形成したものを積層した構成でもよい。
積層体20cは、透明導電部材30aと保護部材32との間に接着剤層34を有する点以外は、図4(a)、(b)に示す積層体20bと同様の構成であるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。また、積層体20cの接着剤層34は、図3(c)に示す積層体20aの接着剤層34と同じ構成であるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
上述の積層体20、20aの透明導電部材30、および上述の積層体20b、20cの透明導電部材30aは、いずれも保護部材32からはみ出していてもよい。接着剤層34があるものについては、保護部材32および接着剤層34からはみ出してもよい。これにより、上述の端子44、端子54へのFPC15の接続を容易にすることができる。
図5は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第1の導電層および第1の配線の配置の一例を示す模式図である。積層体20は、上述のように、3次元形状を有するが、図5では積層構造体12を構成する積層体20を平面的に示している。図5に示す積層体20において、2つの曲げ部Bに挟まれる領域21aが積層構造体12の平面部12aに相当し、曲げ部Bの外側の領域21b,21cが積層構造体12の屈曲部12b、12cに相当する。
各第1の導電層40には、屈曲部12cに相当する領域21cで、端子部(図示せず)を介して第1の配線42が電気的に接続されている。
第1の配線42は、それぞれ領域21cの先端23に引き回されて、領域21cの先端23に設けられた端子44に接続されている。端子44にFPC15が接続される。なお、領域21cの先端23は、屈曲部12cの先端13に相当する。
屈曲部12cに第1の配線42を集中させて、領域21cの先端23にFPC15を設けることで、コントローラ14迄の距離を短くすることができ、FPC15を短くすることができる。これにより、ノイズの影響を抑制することができる。
ここで、図6は本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第1の導電層および第1の配線の配置の他の例を示す模式図である。図6は図5と同様に積層体20を平面的に示したものである。なお、図6に示す積層体20において、図5に示す積層体20と同一構成物には同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
図6に示す積層体20のように、端子44を、屈曲部12cの先端13に相当する領域21cの先端23で、かつY方向における中央に配置してもよい。この場合、図5に示す積層体20よりも、第1の配線42の総長さを短くすることができる。これにより、ノイズを減らすことができ、曲げ部Bをまたぐ第1の導電層40のセンシングをより一層容易にできる。なお、図6の積層体20でも、図5に示す積層体20と同じくFPC15を短くでき、これによってもノイズの影響を小さくできる。
ここで、図7は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第1の導電層および第1の配線の配置の他の例を示す模式図である。図7は図5と同様に積層体20を平面的に示したものである。なお、図7に示す積層体20において、図5に示す積層体20と同一構成物には同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
図7に示す第1の配線42の引き回し形態でも、図5に示す積層体20よりも、第1の配線42の総長さを短くすることができ、これにより、ノイズを減らすことができ、曲げ部Bをまたぐ第1の導電層40のセンシングをより一層容易にできる。また、図7の積層体20でも、図5に示す積層体20と同じくFPC15を短くでき、これによってもノイズの影響を小さくできる。
なお、第1の端子44a、第2の端子44b、第3の端子44cに、それぞれFPC15を接続する構成でもよい。
図8は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第2の導電層および第2の配線の配置の一例を示す模式図である。図8は図5と同様に積層体20を平面的に示したものである。なお、図8に示す積層体20において、図5に示す積層体20と同一構成物には同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
各第2の導電層50には端子部(図示せず)を介して第2の配線52が電気的に接続されている。各第2の配線52は引き回されて屈曲部12cの先端13に相当する領域21cの先端23に設けた端子54に接続されている。端子54にFPC15が接続される。
ここで、図9は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第2の導電層および第2の配線の配置の他の例を示す模式図である。図9は図5と同様に積層体20を平面的に示したものである。なお、図9に示す積層体20において、図8に示す積層体20と同一構成物には同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
なお、図9に示す積層体20でも、屈曲部12cに第2の配線52を集中させて、領域21cの先端23にFPC15を設けることで、FPC15の長さを短くすることができる。これにより、ノイズの影響を抑制することができる。
また、2つの屈曲部12b、12cのうち、配線が集中されていない屈曲部12bには、第1の導電層40および第2の導電層50を必ずしも設ける必要はない。
第1の配線42の総長さを、第2の配線52の総長さよりも短くすることで、第1の配線42へのノイズを減らすことができ、曲げ部Bをまたぐ第1の導電層40のセンシングをさらに一層容易にできる。
なお、上述の図5~9に示す形態において、積層体20を用いて説明したが、積層体の構成は、これに限定されるものではなく、上述の積層体20a、20b、20cのいずれであってもよい。また、透明導電部材30、30aは、保護部材32からはみ出しても、接着剤層34がある場合には保護部材32および接着剤層34からはみ出してもよい。
図10は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第1の導電層の第1導電パターンの一例を示す模式図である。
図10に示すように、第1の導電層40は金属細線38による、X方向に延在する複数の格子62にて構成された第1導電パターン60を有する。複数の格子62は略均一な形状である。ここで略均一とは完全一致する場合に加えて、一見して格子62の形、大きさが同じであることを意味する。第1導電パターン60は、第1の第1導電パターン60aと第2の第1導電パターン60bの2つのパターンを有する。
図11は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の積層体の第2の導電層の第2導電パターンの一例を示す模式図である。
図11に示すように、第2導電パターン70は金属細線38による多数の格子にて構成される。第2導電パターン70は、Y方向に延び、X方向に複数並列に第2の導電層50が配列されている。各第2の導電層50は第2非導電パターン72により電気的に分離される。
第2導電パターン70は、他方端に、追加の第2電極端子74を設けてもよい。追加の第2電極端子74を設けることで各第2導電パターン70の検査を容易に行うことができる。
第2導電パターン70では、交差する金属細線38で構成される複数の格子76を含んでおり、格子76は、第1導電パターン60の格子62と実質的に同じ形状を有する。格子76の一辺の長さ、格子76の開口率については第1導電パターン60の格子62と同等である。
図12に示す組合せパターン80は、ダミーパターンを有さない第1導電パターン60とダミーパターンを有さない第2導電パターン70とを組み合わせたものである。
組合せパターン80において、上面視で、格子62と格子76とにより小格子82が形成される。つまり、格子62の交差部が格子76の開口領域のほぼ中央に配置される。なお、小格子82は、格子62および格子76の一辺の半分の長さに相当する長さの一辺を有する。その長さの一辺は、例えば、125μm以上、450μm以下の長さの一辺を有し、好ましくは150μm以上、350μm以下の長さである。
図13(a)~(c)は、本発明の実施形態の積層構造体の成形方法を示す模式図である。
図13(a)に示すように、まず、平板状の積層体20を用意する。積層体20は、曲げ部Bを境に平面部に対応する領域21a、屈曲部に相当する領域21b、21cに区画されている。
積層体20を、図13(b)に示すように、曲げ部Bで両端を屈曲して立体的な形状にする。平板状の積層体20を屈曲する際には、積層体20を予め決められた温度に加熱して両端を屈曲し、その後、室温迄冷却する。
カバー部材24に、樹脂を用いた場合には、インサート成形法を用いて、積層構造体12を得ることができる。
カバー部材24に光学的に透明な接着剤を用いて貼り付ける場合、積層体20にFPC15を設けておくことが好ましい。一方、インサート成型法を用いる場合には、インサート成型後に積層体20にFPC15を設けることができる。
