Abstract

A touch panel and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a body, a display panel and a touch panel. The display panel is disposed between the body and the touch panel, and the touch panel is adhered to the display panel. The touch panel includes a first substrate, an insulating layer and a touch sensing layer. The insulating layer and the touch sensing layer are disposed on the first substrate. The touch panel having the insulating layer has a waterproof function, and is capable of replacing a waterproof film probably required in the electronic device, so as to decrease a whole thickness of the electronic device.

Claims

1. A touch panel, comprising:

a first substrate;

an insulating layer, disposed on the first substrate; and

a touch sensing layer, disposed on the first substrate.

2. The touch panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insulating layer is a single inorganic material layer or a plurality of inorganic material layers and a plurality of organic material layers stacked in interlace.

3. The touch panel as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a second substrate, disposed between the touch sensing layer and the insulating layer; and

an adhesive layer, disposed between the second substrate and the first substrate.

4. The touch panel as claimed in claim 1, wherein an electrode pattern of the touch sensing layer is composed of metal mesh.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

a body;

a display panel;

a touch panel, wherein the display panel is disposed between the body and the touch panel, the touch panel is adhered to the display panel, and the touch panel comprises;

a first substrate;

an insulating layer, disposed on the first substrate; and

a touch sensing layer, disposed on the first substrate.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the insulating layer is a single inorganic material layer or a plurality of inorganic material layers and a plurality of organic material layers stacked in interlace.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the touch panel further comprises:

a second substrate, disposed between the touch sensing layer and the insulating layer; and

an adhesive layer, disposed between the second substrate and the first substrate.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein an electrode pattern of the touch sensing layer is composed of metal mesh.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a polarizer, wherein the touch panel is disposed between the display panel and the polarizer.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a transparent cover, wherein the polarizer is disposed between the touch panel and the transparent cover.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, further comprising a transparent cover, wherein the touch panel is disposed between the display panel and the transparent cover.

12. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the display panel is an organic light emitting display panel.

13. The electronic device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the organic light emitting display panel has a flexible substrate or a glass substrate.
