Input device having double-layer adhesive conductive connecting portions

A liquid crystal display device, comprising a first transparent synthetic resin substrate having a, plurality of substantially parallel transparent electrodes thereon an opposed second transparent inorganic substrate having a plurality of corresponding transparent relay electrodes disposed on the second substrate, a plurality of conductive adhesive layers having conductive resin film layers disposed thereon for electrically coupling the electrodes on the first substrate to the corresponding relay electrodes, and a seal disposed about the periphery of the transparent substrates for defining an interior display region and for receipt of a liquid crystal material, the seal including projecting segments extending perpendicularly therefrom between the parallel electrodes on the first substrate, the projections extending beyond the conductive adhesive electrodes and a discontinuous seal segment disposed between at least one of the transparent electrodes on the first substrate and on opposed portion of the second substrate, the relay electrodes extending from the interior of the display to the exterior for electrically connecting the electrodes on the first substrate to driving circuitry, the conductive adhesive layers and conductive resin film layers to form an electrical connection between the electrodes on the first substrate and the relay electrodes, the conductive resin film layers formed of a conductive material which is softer than the conductive material of the conductive adhesive layers for absorbing shock to prevent separation of the transparent electrodes from the first substrate.

An input structure of a display device, comprising:

• opposed first and second transparent substrates and a seal about the periphery of the transparent substrates for sealing the substrates together and defining a display region on the interior of the seal;
• a plurality of substantially parallel transparent electrodes disposed on the first substrate and a plurality of corresponding relay electrodes disposed on the second substrate, the relay electrodes crossing from the interior of the seal to the exterior thereof;
• a plurality of conductive adhesive layers and conductive resin film layers on the adhesive layers for electrically coupling the transparent electrodes on the first substrate to the corresponding relay electrodes on the second substrate, within the interior of the seal, for electrically connecting the electrodes on the first substrate to the exterior of the seal;
• the conductive resin film layers made of a conductive material softer than the conductive adhesive layers;
• and
• the seal including projecting segments extending perpendicularly therefrom between the parallel electrodes on the first substrate, the projections extending beyond the conductive adhesive layers and a discontinuous seal segment disposed between at least one of the transparent electrodes on the first substrate and an opposing portion of the second substrate.
