Abstract

A display filter having a touch input function includes a base substrate, a conductive film coating layer formed on the base substrate, and a touch sheet. The touch sheet and the conductive film coating layer are arranged with an air gap therebetween, and are in contact with each other in response to a touch pressure. A first electrode is formed on a surface of the touch sheet that faces the conductive film coating layer. The first electrode includes a first electrode part to which a first input voltage is applied to generate potential distribution in the x direction, and a second electrode part to which a second input voltage is applied to generate potential distribution in the y direction. A second electrode is formed on the periphery of the conductive film coating layer, and allows electrical current to flow through when the touch sheet is in contact with the conductive film coating layer.

Claims

1. A display filter, comprising:

a base substrate;

a conductive film coating layer formed on the base substrate;

a touch sheet, wherein the touch sheet and the conductive film coating layer are arranged with an air gap therebetween such that the touch sheet is brought into contact with the conductive film coating layer in response to a touch pressure applied from outside;

a first electrode formed on a surface of the touch sheet that faces the conductive film coating layer, wherein the first electrode includes a first electrode part to which a first input voltage is applied to generate potential distribution in an x direction and a second electrode part to which a second input voltage is applied to generate potential distribution in a y direction; and

a second electrode formed on a peripheral portion of the conductive film coating layer, wherein the second electrode allows electrical current to flow through when the touch sheet is brought into contact with the conductive film coating layer,

whereby information input is enabled by touching of the touch sheet.

2. The display filter according to claim 1, wherein the second electrode is a grounding electrode which grounds the conductive film coating layer.

3. The display filter according to claim 2, wherein the grounding electrode is one of a piece of Cu tape and a piece of Al tape.

4. The display filter according to claim 1, wherein a number of dot spacers is disposed between the conductive film coating layer and the touch sheet.

5. The display filter according to claim 1, wherein the conductive film coating layer is an electromagnetic radiation shielding layer, wherein the electromagnetic radiation shielding layer includes at least one high-refractivity metal oxide layer and at least one metal layer laminated on each other.

6. The display filter according to claim 1, wherein the touch sheet is an indium tin oxide film.

7. The display filter according to claim 1, further comprising an insulating film layer formed on the first electrode such that the first electrode is covered with the insulating film.

8. The display filter according to claim 1, further comprising an antireflection layer formed on the touch sheet, wherein the antireflection layer prevents external light from being reflected from the touch sheet.

9. The display filter according to claim 1, further comprising a color correction layer formed on the base substrate, wherein the color correction layer comprises at least one of a color-adjusting colorant and a neon-cut colorant.

10. The display filter according to claim 1, wherein the first electrode is formed on a peripheral portion of the touch sheet.
