Problems solved by technology

When overlapping with other metal electrodes, conductive electrodes are usually formed on the surface of the graphene film by methods such as screen printing and vacuum sputtering. However, the adhesion of these electrodes on the graphene film is not ideal, and it is easy to contact with the graphene on the contact surface. The underlying materials such as the substrate or the underlying graphene are separated, making it difficult to meet the needs of subsequent touch screen processing

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene thin film touch sensor. The graphene thin film touch sensor mainly comprises a substrate, a metal lead electrode and a graphene thin film, and further comprises optical transparent adhesive tape. The metal lead electrode is arranged on the surface of the substrate, the graphene thin film directly covers the metal lead electrode, and the optical transparent adhesive tape is attached to the surface of the graphene thin film. A manufacturing method of the graphene thin film touch sensor comprises the steps that firstly, the metal lead electrode and an alignment target are arranged on the substrate; secondly, the graphene thin film is transferred to the substrate on which the metal lead electrode is arranged; thirdly, patterning is carried out on the surface of the graphene thin film based on the laser machining technology; fourthly, the optical transparent adhesive tape is attached to the surface of the patterning graphene thin film, and therefore the graphene thin film touch sensor is formed. According to the product and method, the sensor lead electrode is buried below the patterning graphene conducting thin film, good electric property contact is achieved, and the requirement for the adhesive force of graphene and the metal electrode is met in the process of manufacturing the touch sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of touch screen manufacturing, in particular to a graphene film touch sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Graphene is a hexagonal honeycomb two-dimensional crystal composed of a single layer of carbon atoms. Because graphene has excellent electrical, mechanical, thermal and optical properties, it has a wide range of applications in the field of materials. It can be used as a transparent electrode to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) films to manufacture touch screens, LCD displays, OLED devices, and solar cells. It can be used in many fields including mobile phone touch screens, displays, solar cells, supercapacitors, etc. [0003] When the existing graphene film is used as a transparent conductive electrode for a touch screen sensor, it faces a problem of how to achieve a good overlap with other electrodes. When overlapping with other metal electrodes, conductive electrodes are usu...
