COVERING STRUCTURE, INPUT DEVICE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF COVERING STRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A covering structure, comprising:
- a bottom covering layer;
a top covering layer; and
a thermoplastic material layer laminated between the bottom covering layer and the top covering layer, the thermoplastic material layer comprising a first thermoplastic material layer part and a second thermoplastic material layer part that are connected to each other, the first thermoplastic material layer part having a first thickness, the second thermoplastic material layer part having a second thickness, wherein the first thickness is larger than the thickness of the top covering layer, and the first thickness is larger than the second thickness.

Abstract
A covering structure including a bottom covering layer, a top covering layer, and a thermoplastic material layer is disclosed. The thermoplastic material layer is laminated between the bottom covering layer and the top covering layer. The thermoplastic material layer includes a first thermoplastic material layer part and a second thermoplastic material layer part that are connected to each other. The first thermoplastic material layer part has a first thickness. The second thermoplastic material layer part has a second thickness. The first thickness is larger than the thickness of the top covering layer. The first thickness is 4˜7 times of the second thickness. The disclosure further discloses an input device using the covering structure and a manufacturing method of the covering structure.
