Touch panel and protective panel for display window of electronic device using the same
First Claim
1. An analog type touch panel comprising:
- a touch side substrate having a resistive film on an inner surface thereof;
a non-touch side substrate having a resistive film on an inner surface thereof, the inner surface of the non-touch side substrate opposing the inner surface of the touch side substrate;
electrodes for connecting the resistive films to an external terminal, the electrodes including an electrode provided on the inner surface of the non-touch side substrate;
through-holes formed at a periphery of the non-touch side substrate;
a wall formed from an insulating layer provided around an opening of at least one of the through-holes and being connected to the electrode provided on the inner surface of the non-touch side substrate;
a conductive paste injected into the through-holes; and
a rivet inserted into each of the through-holes from a lower surface side of the non-touch side substrate so that a head of each rivet forms a flat electrode for connecting with the external terminal on the lower surface of the non-touch side substrate,wherein the conductive paste and the rivets form a connecting part for electrically connecting the electrodes to the external terminal by the through-holes, andwherein the wall is provided at a distance from an edge of the opening so as to trap the spread of the conductive paste.

Abstract
A touch panel is capable of obtaining a stable connection resistance without requiring fitting accuracy at the time of the connection to an external terminal, and a protective panel for a display window of an electronic device using the same. The analog type touch panel includes a touch side substrate and a non-touch side substrate each having resistive films provided on opposed inner surfaces thereof.
Through-holes are formed at the periphery of the non-touch side substrate. A connecting part for electrically connecting electrodes of the resistive films to an external terminal includes a conductive paste is injected into the through-holes and a rivet is inserted into each of the through-holes from the lower surface side so that a head of the rivet 14 forms flat connecting electrodes for connection to the external terminal on the lower surface of the non-touch side substrate.
