A touch panel includes an insulated substrate including a planar part and a folded part extending from the planar part; a transparent conductive layer located on the planar part and the folded part; a plurality of planar electrodes located on the planar part and electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer; and at least one side electrode located on the folded part and electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer on the folded part. The planar electrodes, the transparent conductive layer and the planar part are formed into a planar touch module configured to detect a planar input signal resulted from the planar part. The at least one side electrode the folded part and the transparent conductive layer on the folded part are formed into a side touch module configured to sense a side input signal resulted from at least one virtual key corresponding the at least one side electrode.

Touch panel

This disclosure is related to a method for making a touch panel. The method includes following steps. A substrate having a surface is provided, wherein the surface defining a touch-view area and a trace area. A first mask layer is supplied to cover the trace area. An adhesive layer is applied on the touch-view area. A carbon nanotube film is placed on the adhesive layer and the first mask layer. The adhesive layer is solidified. The first mask layer and part of the carbon nanotube film on the trace area are removed to expose the trace area. An electrode and a conductive trace are formed on the trace area.

Method for making touch panel

The present disclosure relates to a method for making touch panel. A substrate having a surface is provided. The substrate defines two areas: a touch-view area and a trace area. An adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. The adhesive layer on the trace area is solidified. A carbon nanotube layer is formed on the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer on the touch-view area is solidified. The carbon nanotube layer on the trace area is removed. At least one electrode and a conductive trace is formed.

A patterned conductive element includes a substrate having a surface, an adhesive layer located on the surface, and a patterned carbon nanotube layer located on the adhesive layer. Part of the patterned carbon nanotube layer is embedded in the adhesive layer, and the other part of the patterned carbon nanotube layer is exposed from the adhesive layer.

Patterned conductive element

The present disclosure relates to a method for making pattern conductive element. The method includes steps. A substrate having a surface is provide. An adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. Part of the adhesive layer is solidified to form a solidified adhesive layer and a non-solidified adhesive layer. A carbon nanotube layer is applied on the adhesive layer. The non-solidified adhesive layer is solidified so that the carbon nanotube layer on the non-solidified adhesive layer forms a fixed carbon nanotube layer and the carbon nanotube layer on the solidified adhesive layer forms a non-fixed carbon nanotube layer. The non-fixed carbon nanotube layer is removed and the fixed carbon nanotube layer is remained to form a pattern carbon nanotube layer.
