A decal to be used in accordance with this method.
Claims23
A method of applying an edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing an edge electrode pattern on a decal layer;
- applying a cover coat over the electrode pattern;
- removing the decal layer;
- and
- transferring the edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel.
A method of applying a conductive edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing a conductive edge electrode pattern on a decal layer;
- applying a cover coat over the conductive edge electrode pattern;
- removing the decal layer;
- and
- transferring the conductive edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel.
A method of applying an edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing an edge electrode pattern on a decal layer;
- applying a cover coat over the edge electrode pattern;
- removing the decal layer;
- and
- transferring the edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel.
A method of applying an edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing an edge electrode pattern on a decal layer;
- assembling the decal layer on a touch screen panel;
- and
- applying heat and pressure to the decal layer to transfer the edge electrode pattern to the touch screen panel.
A method of applying an edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing an edge electrode pattern on a decal layer;
- applying a cover coat over the electrode pattern;
- removing the decal layer;
- transferring the edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel;
- and
- heating the touch screen to bond the electrode pattern to the touch screen pattern.
A method of applying an edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel, the method comprising:
- depositing a conductive compound in the pattern of edge electrodes on a decal layer;
- applying a cover coat over the edge electrode pattern;
- removing the decal layer;
- transferring the edge electrode pattern to a touch screen panel with an insulative substrate and a resistive layer thereon, such that the edge electrode pattern is disposed on the resistive layer about the periphery of the panel;
- and
- heating the panel until the conductive compound fuses into the resistive layer and becomes in intimate electrical contact with the resistive layer forming an electrical and mechanical bond with the resistive layer.
