Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive display and touch device manufacturing technology, specifically to an integrated assembly and processing method for automotive screens based on capacitive touch. Background Technology
[0002] As the automotive industry transforms towards intelligent and electric vehicles, in-vehicle display systems have evolved from simple information output terminals into core control units integrating display, touch, and interaction. The requirements for functional integration, performance stability, and environmental adaptability continue to increase. Capacitive touch technology, with its advantages of high sensitivity, multi-point touch, no mechanical wear, and fast response, has become the mainstream solution for in-vehicle touch interaction.
[0003] However, the manufacturing of existing automotive capacitive touchscreens still mainly relies on a split-type process. This model originated from the technological migration of consumer electronics touchscreens, and it has exposed many technical bottlenecks when adapting to automotive scenarios, making it difficult to meet the high-performance requirements of smart cars.
[0004] The split-type process requires the touch module and display module to be processed on two separate production lines, and then transported to the bonding production line for secondary assembly through multiple logistics transfers. This not only extends the production cycle, but also increases inventory management costs and material loss risks.
[0005] Secondly, during the bonding process, micron-level flatness deviations between the touch module and the display module, as well as environmental particulate matter contamination, can easily lead to optical defects such as bubbles and Newton's rings after bonding, affecting the display effect. The traditional connection method between the touch electrode and the driver IC is prone to changes in contact resistance or even open circuits under the wide temperature range cycling and vibration environment of the vehicle, resulting in touch delay and accidental touches.
[0006] Meanwhile, existing processes require functional testing only after all assembly is complete. If defects such as touch dead zones or dark lines are detected, the entire module needs to be disassembled. This not only makes it impossible to recycle most of the disposable parts, but may also cause secondary damage to the substrate, increasing rework time and costs.
[0007] In summary, existing separate manufacturing processes can no longer meet the requirements of smart cars for "high integration, high reliability, low cost, and lightweight" in-vehicle touch screens. Developing a new processing method that integrates touch and display manufacturing, simplifies processes, and improves performance has become a key direction for the in-vehicle display industry to break through technological bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated assembly and processing method for vehicle screens based on capacitive touch control, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated assembly and processing method for vehicle-mounted screens based on capacitive touch control, comprising the following specific steps:
[0010] S1. A borosilicate glass substrate is selected as the base; a three-stage cleaning process is first adopted:
[0011] The alkaline cleaning stage uses a 5%–8% potassium hydroxide solution (temperature 50–60℃, ultrasonic power 300–400W, cleaning time 5–8min) to remove surface oil and organic contaminants;
[0012] During the acid cleaning stage, a 3%–5% hydrofluoric acid solution (temperature 25–30℃, soaking time 2–3 min) is used to remove the surface oxide layer and minor scratches;
[0013] The ultrapure water rinsing stage uses 18.2 MΩ·cm ultrapure water (temperature 40-45℃, ultrasonic power 200-300W, rinsing time 8-10min).
[0014] After cleaning, the product is dried with hot air (temperature 80-90℃, wind speed 1-2m / s) and sterilized with ultraviolet light (wavelength 254nm, irradiation intensity 10-15mW / cm²). 2 The substrates are processed (3-5 minutes); finally, laser flatness detection (accuracy ±0.1μm) is used to screen substrates with flatness error ≤1μm for later use.
[0015] S2. Fabrication of the touch electrode layer: A transparent conductive layer is deposited on the pretreated substrate surface using magnetron sputtering. The sputtering target is a composite target of indium tin oxide (ITO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) (mass ratio 9:1). The sputtering environment is a mixture of argon and oxygen (argon flow rate 20–25 sccm, oxygen flow rate 1–2 sccm), with a vacuum degree of 5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 ~8×10 -4 Pa, substrate temperature 150–180℃, sputtering power 200–250W, deposition thickness 80–100nm, ensuring sheet resistance ≤15Ω / □ and transmittance ≥90%; subsequently, femtosecond laser etching (wavelength 1064nm, pulse width 50–100fs, repetition frequency 1–2kHz, energy density 1–2J / cm²) is performed. 2A predetermined pattern of touch electrode array is formed on the conductive layer, including driving electrodes (linewidth 50-80 μm, spacing 200-300 μm along the X-axis) and sensing electrodes (linewidth 50-80 μm, spacing 200-300 μm along the Y-axis). After etching, the etching residue is removed by plasma cleaning (argon atmosphere, power 100-150 W, time 3-5 min). Then, the uniformity of electrode sheet resistance (deviation ≤5%) is detected by four-point probe method, and the flatness of electrode edge (edge roughness ≤0.5 μm) is observed by microscope.
[0016] S3. Insulation Layer Coating: An insulating material is coated onto the surface of the touch electrode layer using a spin-coating process. Polyimide (PI) resin (solid content 30%–40%, viscosity 500–800 cps) is selected, with a coating speed of 3000–4000 rpm and a coating time of 30–60 s, forming a wet film thickness of 1–2 μm. Subsequently, segmented curing is performed: first, pre-curing at 80–100℃ for 30–60 min (to remove solvent), and then high-temperature curing at 200–220℃ for 120–180 min (cross-linking molding), resulting in a final insulation layer thickness of 800–1200 nm. After curing, the breakdown voltage (≥100V / μm), dielectric constant (≤3.5 at 1kHz), and surface roughness (≤0.1μm) of the insulation layer are tested to ensure that the electrical insulation performance and surface smoothness meet the standards.
[0017] S4. Formation of the optical adjustment layer: An optical adjustment layer is prepared on the surface of the insulating layer to eliminate interface reflection between the touch electrode and the display layer. A composite system of high refractive index resin (refractive index 1.6-1.7) and low refractive index nanoparticles (silica, particle size 20-50nm, refractive index 1.45-1.5) is selected and formed by slit coating process (coating speed 5-10mm / s, wet film thickness 2-3μm). After coating, it is cured by baking at 120-150℃ for 60-90min, and the final thickness of the optical adjustment layer is 1.5-2.5μm. The refractive index distribution of this layer is detected by ellipsometer (gradually changing along the thickness direction, from 1.6 on the insulating layer side to 1.5 on the display layer side) to ensure that the interface reflectivity is ≤0.5% (visible light band 400-700nm). At the same time, the overall transmittance is detected by spectrometer (≥91%) to avoid optical loss.
[0018] S5. The display functional layer is integrally formed, and the complete display functional layer is directly prepared on the surface of the optical adjustment layer without the need for post-lamination. Specifically, it includes:
[0019] (1) TFT array fabrication: Low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPO) process was used to deposit an amorphous silicon layer (thickness 50-80 nm) on the surface of the optical adjustment layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), followed by laser annealing (wavelength 308 nm, energy density 300-400 mJ / cm²).2 The process involves converting the material into polycrystalline silicon; then, through photolithography and etching, an active layer (channel width 10–20 μm), a gate (molybdenum metal, thickness 100–150 nm), and source / drain electrodes (aluminum metal, thickness 200–250 nm) are formed to complete the fabrication of the TFT array.
[0020] (2) Fabrication of pixel electrode and common electrode: Indium tin oxide (ITO) layer (thickness 60-80nm) is deposited by magnetron sputtering, and pixel electrode (connected to TFT source and drain, area corresponding to pixel size) and common electrode (located above pixel electrode and isolated by insulating layer) are formed by photolithography etching.
[0021] (3) Preparation of the color filter layer: Using a photoresist coloring process, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) photoresist (thickness 1.5-2 μm) are sequentially coated, and exposed through a mask (wavelength 365 nm, energy 100-150 mJ / cm). 2 ), and develop to form color filter units, ensuring color gamut coverage ≥ NTSC 95%;
[0022] (4) Liquid crystal injection and sealing: A sealant (UV-curable type, linewidth 50-80 μm) is coated on the surface of the color filter layer. Liquid crystal (nematic liquid crystal, response time ≤10 ms) is injected using the drop-casting method. Then it is bonded to the opposing substrate (which has also undergone pretreatment and electrode preparation). Finally, it is UV cured (wavelength 365 nm, energy 2000-3000 mJ / cm). 2 )seal;
[0023] After each step is completed, the TFT switching characteristics (conduction current ≥1μA, shutdown current ≤1pA), pixel voltage uniformity (deviation ≤5%), and liquid crystal alignment consistency (pretilt angle deviation ≤1°) are tested respectively.
[0024] S6. Electromagnetic shielding layer integration: Electromagnetic shielding layers are fabricated on the outer side of the substrate opposite the display functional layer (non-display surface) and the inner side of the substrate of the touch electrode layer (non-touch surface), forming a "double shielding" structure.
[0025] The inner shielding layer is formed by magnetron sputtering of a copper-nickel alloy layer (copper-nickel mass ratio 9:1, thickness 100-150nm), and a grid pattern (linewidth 20-30μm, grid spacing 500-800μm) is formed by photolithography etching to ensure a light transmittance of ≥85%.
[0026] The outer shielding layer is formed by screen printing conductive silver paste (screen mesh number 300-400 mesh, printing thickness 5-10μm) to form a grid pattern (arranged in a staggered manner with the inner grid, line width 30-40μm, grid spacing 500-800μm), and then cured by baking at 120-150℃ for 30-60 minutes.
[0027] After the shielding layer is prepared, a vector network analyzer is used to test the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (≥40dB in the 10kHz~6GHz frequency band) to ensure that it meets the vehicle EMC standard; at the same time, the grid conductivity is tested (node contact resistance ≤100mΩ) to avoid shielding failure.
[0028] S7. Package and lead connection, as detailed below:
[0029] (1) The module encapsulation uses a glass cover plate (made of the same material as the substrate glass, with a thickness of 0.5-0.7 mm) and is bonded to the shielding layer on the outside of the display functional layer with UV-curable adhesive (refractive index 1.5-1.6, thickness 50-100 μm) to form an overall protective structure; after bonding, it is UV-cured (wavelength 365 nm, energy 1500-2000 mJ / cm). 2 (Time 30-60s), ensuring the overall thickness after encapsulation is ≤5mm;
[0030] (2) The lead wires are connected to the electrode lead-out area (width 2-3mm) reserved at the edge of the substrate. The touch electrode lead wires are directly connected to the FPC of the driver IC by laser micro-welding process (wavelength 1064nm, pulse energy 1-2mJ, welding time 10-20μs), replacing the traditional ACF hot-press bonding. Before welding, flux (low residue type, melting point 80-100℃) is applied to the connection area. After welding, the flux residue is removed by ultrasonic cleaning (power 100-150W, time 2-3min).
[0031] After encapsulation and connection are completed, the sealing performance is tested (using a helium mass spectrometer leak detector, leak rate ≤1×10⁻⁶). -8 Pa·m 3 / s), lead contact resistance (≤30mΩ) and FPC pull-out force (≥5N);
[0032] S8. Segmented Functional Testing: The integrated module undergoes segmented testing to avoid rework later.
[0033] Display performance testing involves measuring brightness (≥500 cd / m²) using a display tester. 2 Contrast ratio (≥1000:1), color gamut (≥NTSC95%), response time (≤10ms), and uniformity (brightness deviation ≤5%).
[0034] Touch performance testing was conducted using a touch tester to measure touch sensitivity (trigger force ≤50g), touch accuracy (deviation ≤0.1mm), multi-touch (supports simultaneous operation of 10 points), and response time (≤5ms).
[0035] EMC performance testing was conducted in a shielded anechoic chamber according to CISPR 25 Class 5 standards, testing radiated emissions (≤40dBμV / m@30~1000MHz) and immunity (≥200V / m@80~1000MHz).
[0036] The defective products are marked with their defects and can be repaired directly in the current process (e.g., touch dead zones can be repaired by laser fine-tuning of the electrode pattern) without the need for complete disassembly.
[0037] S9. Reliability Enhancement Process: For modules that pass the inspection, reliability enhancement for the automotive environment is performed, as detailed below:
[0038] High and low temperature cycling test: 500 cycles between -40℃ (held for 2 hours) and 85℃ (held for 2 hours), with a temperature change rate ≤10℃ / min;
[0039] Damp heat aging test: placed at 85℃ and 85%RH for 1000 hours;
[0040] Vibration test: Vibrate for 200 hours at 10g acceleration (root mean square) within the 10-2000Hz frequency band (66.7 hours each for the X, Y, and Z axes).
[0041] After reliability testing, display performance, touch performance, and electrical parameters are retested to ensure that performance degradation is ≤10%.
[0042] S10. Final quality control and packaging: 10% of products that pass the reliability test are randomly selected for full performance retesting (including display, touch, EMC, and mechanical strength) to ensure a batch pass rate ≥99%; surface scratches (depth ≤0.1μm, length ≤1mm) and bubbles (diameter ≤0.1mm) are detected using a visual inspection system (20 million pixels resolution); antistatic foam (surface resistance 10... 6 ~10 9 The product is packaged in an aluminum foil bag (with shielding effectiveness ≥30dB) and each product is placed independently to avoid electrostatic damage or mechanical impact during transportation.
[0043] This invention provides an integrated assembly and processing method for automotive screens based on capacitive touch control, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0044] This integrated assembly and processing method for automotive screens based on capacitive touch integrates the traditional separate processing method into continuous processing on a single production line, which greatly shortens the production cycle, significantly reduces the number of material transfers, and reduces the risk of glass substrate breakage. At the same time, the integrated structure eliminates the need for separate touch module protective covers and bonding optical adhesives, significantly reducing material costs and effectively controlling the overall manufacturing cost.
[0045] Secondly, the optical adjustment layer, through gradient refractive index design, significantly reduces the interface reflectivity between the touch electrode and the display layer, thereby significantly improving the overall light transmittance and display contrast. Furthermore, the integrated manufacturing process avoids flatness deviation and particulate contamination during bonding, greatly reducing the occurrence rate of optical defects such as bubbles and Newton's rings. This significantly improves the uniformity of the display and visual comfort, fully meeting the display requirements under different lighting conditions in automotive scenarios.
[0046] Meanwhile, the laser micro-welding lead connection method avoids the problems of temperature stress and uneven particle distribution in ACF hot-press bonding, and the contact resistance remains stable over a long period of time, with no significant changes after high and low temperature cycling and vibration tests; while the dual electromagnetic shielding layer design effectively improves electromagnetic shielding performance, and the radiated emission and immunity fully comply with automotive EMC standards, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of touch signals and greatly reducing touch drift and false touch rate.
[0047] This method supports the manufacturing of in-vehicle touch screens of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the touch electrode pattern and display pixel size, product models can be quickly switched, significantly shortening production line changeover time. Furthermore, the materials and processes of the optical adjustment layer and electromagnetic shielding layer can be flexibly adjusted according to customer needs, adapting to the development trend of multi-screen interaction and personalized customization in smart cars. In addition, this method significantly reduces the cleanliness requirements of the production environment, reducing the construction and operation costs of cleanrooms. Attached Figure Description
