Abstract
A conductive layer of a touch screen is disclosed including a mesh made of metal wire. The conductive layer includes a sensing area and a wiring area electrically connected to the sensing area, the sensing area includes at least one of the first sensing patterns and at least one of the second sensing patterns, the first sensing pattern and the second sensing pattern are adjacent and electrically insulated from each other, mesh cells in each first sensing pattern are mutually connected, mesh cells in each second sensing pattern are mutually connected. The wiring area includes a plurality of wiring clusters which are mutually insulated, each wiring cluster is formed by interconnecting a column of mesh cells, and one end of each wiring cluster is electrically connected to one of the second sensing patterns. The conductive layer having a structure of metal mesh can be manufactured by imprinting process. Comparing to the conventional technology with ITO film as conductive layer, the imprinting has advantages of one step formation of the mesh, simplified process and high yield rate. In addition, the material cost is greatly reduced using metal instead of ITO, since no etching process is used, the conductive material will not be wasted.
