TOUCH PANEL AND OUTPUT METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A touch panel, comprising:
- a first substrate, having a first electrode layer, wherein the first substrate is a flexible substrate;
a second substrate, having a second electrode layer, facing the first electrode layer;
a plurality of spacers, disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and
a controller set, electrically connected to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer to provide a first operation mode and a second operation mode, wherein the controller set applies a uniform voltage drop electrical field on the first electrode layer or the second electrode layer for forming a resistive touch panel configuration during the first operation mode, and the controller set applies a uniform electrical field on the first electrode layer for forming a capacitive touch panel configuration during the second operation mode.

Abstract
A touch panel and an output method therefor are disclosed. The touch panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, spacers, and a controller set. The first substrate is flexible and has a first electrode layer. The second substrate has a second electrode layer facing the first electrode layer. The spacers are configured between the first and the second substrates.
The controller set electrically connects to the first and the second electrode layers to provide a first operation mode and a second operation mode. The controller set can apply a uniform voltage drop electrical field on the first electrode layer or the second electrode layer, so that a resistive touch panel configuration is formed during the first operation mode. The controller set can also apply a uniform electrical field on the first electrode layer, so that a capacitive touch panel configuration is formed during the second operation mode.
