Abstract
A protective film has a first protective film (8) made of a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride oxide film, a second protective film (9) made of a silicon nitride film, and a third protective film (10) made of a transparent resin film. The third protective film (10) is formed in a layer above the first protective film (8) and the second protective film (9). With this configuration, a liquid crystal display device-integrated touch panel (1) with long-term reliability can be realized.
Claims8
A display device-integrated display device-integrated touch panel, comprising:
- a capacitive touch panel that is formed on a surface on one side of an insulating substrate and that comprises:
- a conductive film;
- a terminal for detecting an electric charge;
- wiring electrically connecting the conductive film to the terminal;
- and a protective film formed to cover the conductive film and the wiring, the touch panel detecting a position touched from outside by using electrostatic capacitance formed between the conductive film and a pressing object as a result of a pressure applied from the outside;
- and
- a display device formed on the other side of the insulating substrate, the display device using the insulating substrate as a substrate on a display surface side,
- wherein the protective film is formed of a multilayer film made of a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride oxide film, and a transparent resin film, and
- wherein the transparent resin film is formed in a layer above the silicon nitride film and the silicon oxide film or the silicon nitride oxide film in a thickness direction of the insulating substrate.
A method of manufacturing a display device-integrated touch panel that comprises:
- a capacitive touch panel that is formed on a surface on one side of an insulating substrate and that comprises:
- a conductive film;
- a terminal for detecting an electric charge;
- wiring electrically connecting the conductive film to the terminal;
- and a protective film formed to cover the conductive film and the wiring, the touch panel detecting a position touched from outside by using electrostatic capacitance formed between the conductive film and a pressing object as a result of a pressure applied from the outside;
- and
- a display device formed on the other side of the insulating substrate, the display device using the insulating substrate as a substrate on a display surface side,
- the method comprising:
- in a process of forming the protective film, a step of forming a silicon nitride film, a step of forming a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride oxide film, and a step of forming a transparent resin film,
- wherein the step of forming the transparent resin film is performed after the step of forming the silicon nitride film and the step of forming the silicon oxide film or the silicon nitride oxide film,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- turning over the insulating substrate such that a front side faces down after the step of forming the transparent resin film;
- and
- forming a prescribed film on a surface on the other side of the insulating substrate.
