Digital capacitive touch panel structure

A touch panel structure, consisting essentially of:

• an anti-scratch surface layer made of a tempered transparent plastic film;
• a first and a second transparent lamination layers;
• a capacitive sensor layer, comprising:
• a plastic substrate adhered to a bottom of the anti-scratch surface layer via the first transparent lamination layer,
• an X-axis first transparent conductive layer deposited on a bottom of the plastic substrate,
• a Y-axis second transparent conductive layer adhered on a bottom of the X-axis first transparent conductive layer via the second transparent lamination layer,
• a transparent plastic carrier separate from the plastic substrate wherein the Y-axis second transparent conductive layer is formed on a top surface of the transparent plastic carrier and wherein the two X-axis and Y-axis transparent conductive layers each comprise respectively:
• a plurality of X-axes first sense elements:
• and
• a plurality of Y-axes first sense elements alternately arranged in an array form, such that each sense element in a respective X or Y axis is connected electrically and each sense element in another axis is insulated therefrom;
• and
• a conductive layer, directly formed at a bottom of the transparent plastic carrier for providing an EMI shielding function.
