Touch screen module with protector window
First Claim
1. A touch screen module comprising:
- a hybrid Touch Screen Panel (hTSP) type touch screen comprising;
a light-passing first substrate having a first surface on which a plurality of switching elements are formed,a light-passing second substrate having a second surface, the second surface being disposed above, spaced apart from and facing the first surface in a manner such that a corresponding spacing is defined between the first and second substrates, anda liquid crystal material positioned in the corresponding spacing defined between the first and second substrates wherein the combination of the first and second substrates and the interposed liquid crystal material provides an operative Liquid Crystal Display (LCD); and
a light-passing and elastically deformable protector window positioned on top of the second substrate of the operative LCD, the protector window comprising a base substrate having a third surface that is spaced apart from and facing the second substrate, and the protector window further comprising a plurality of pressing patterns integrally formed on the third surface and protruding downwardly therefrom toward the second substrate, the pressing patterns being normally spaced apart from the second substrate when the protector window is in a nondeformed normal state thereof and the pressing patterns being normally spaced apart one from the other.

Abstract
A touch screen module which includes an LCD panel working as a touch screen, a protector window disposed over the LCD panel, and an adhesive to affix the protector window to the LCD panel. The LCD panel may be a hybrid Touch Screen Pad (hTSP) type touch screen and have a first substrate comprising a first surface on which a plurality of switching elements are formed, a second substrate comprising a second surface that faces the first surface, and liquid crystal material disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The protector window may have a plurality of pressing patterns on a third surface facing the second substrate. In operation, pressure from a touch applied to the protector window engages the pressing patterns against the second substrate, transferring touch pressure to the second substrate as well.
