Abstract
A touchscreen panel sensor film, with alignment marks or product information assigned thereto is formed so as to improve post-processing accuracy. The touchscreen panel sensor film includes a transparent base film and a transparent electrical conductor pattern provided on at least one surface of the base film, and achieves the improvement of post-processing accuracy by having alignment marks or product information in a non-active area on the sensor film.

13. A method for manufacturing a touchscreen panel sensor film including
a transparent base film, a transparent electrical conductor pattern provided on at least one surface of the base film, with a portion of the conductor pattern being linearly formed on the surface of the base film, and alignment marks or/and product information formed in a non-active area, the manufacturing method comprising the steps of: -
forming a photosensitive layer having a photosensitive property, on a surface of a laminate including the base film, a transparent electrically conductive layer provided on at least one surface of the base film, and a covering electrically conductive layer provided on the transparent electrically conductive layer, the photosensitive layer being formed upon the covering electrically conductive layer; exposing the photosensitive layer to light; patterning a sensor portion, a terminal portion, electrical lead-out lines, and the alignment marks or/and the product information by developing the photosensitive layer; patterning the covering electrically conductive layer by etching the covering electrically conductive layer, using the patterned photosensitive layer as a mask; patterning the transparent electrically conductive layer by etching the transparent electrically conductive layer using the patterned photosensitive layer and the patterned covering electrically conductive layer as masks; removing the patterned photosensitive layer; forming another photosensitive layer on the patterned covering electrically conductive layer; exposing the other photosensitive layer to light; patterning the other photosensitive layer by means of development; removing a portion of the patterned covering electrically conductive layer by etching the patterned covering electrically conductive layer, using the patterned other photosensitive layer as a mask, thereby forming the sensor portion; and removing the patterned other photosensitive layer.

14. A method for manufacturing a touchscreen panel sensor film including
a transparent base film, a transparent electrical conductor pattern provided on at least one surface of the base film, with a portion of the conductor pattern being linearly formed on the surface of the base film, and alignment marks or/and product information formed in a non-active area, the manufacturing method comprising the steps of: -
forming a photosensitive layer having a photosensitive property, on a surface of a laminate including the base film, a transparent electrically conductive layer provided on at least one surface of the base film, and a covering electrically conductive layer provided on the transparent electrically conductive layer, the photosensitive layer being formed upon the covering electrically conductive layer; exposing the photosensitive layer to light; developing the photosensitive layer, thereby patterning a sensor portion, a terminal portion, electrical lead-out lines, and the alignment marks or/and the product information; patterning the covering electrically conductive layer and the transparent electrically conductive layer by etching one surface of the laminate down to the transparent electrically conductive layer, using the patterned photosensitive layer as a mask; removing the patterned photosensitive layer; forming another photosensitive layer on the patterned covering electrically conductive layer; exposing the other photosensitive layer to light; patterning the other photosensitive layer by means of development; removing a portion of the patterned covering electrically conductive layer by etching the patterned covering electrically conductive layer, using the patterned other photosensitive layer as a mask, thereby forming the sensor portion; and removing the patterned other photosensitive layer.

15. A touchscreen panel sensor film, comprising:
-
a transparent base film; transparent electrical conductor patterns provided on both surfaces of the base film; and one pair of index portions formed in non-active areas on both surfaces of the sensor film, the index portion pair being constructed so that one of the paired index portions has a predetermined proximity relationship with respect to the other of the paired index portions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
