Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a vehicle-mounted touch screen, more specifically, to a vehicle-mounted touch screen component with a soft light effect. Background Art
[0002] At present, touch screens with buttons are increasingly widely used in automotive electronic devices. The light-transmitting buttons of such touch screens are generally matched with backlights. Since the light directly shining on the button characters will be glaring and the light is not soft enough, a diffusion film is usually attached between the bottom of the touch screen button area and the light to achieve a uniform light effect. However, the diffusion film is attached to the bottom of the touch screen button through double-sided adhesive, which will protrude from the structure and the client case design needs to avoid it. The diffusion film cannot appear in the bonding area with the TFT or sensor, otherwise it will not fit. In addition, the cost of attaching the diffusion film is relatively high, including the cost of the diffusion film raw materials, double-sided adhesive, die-cutting shape and the diffusion film.
[0003] Chinese invention patent document CN114168013A discloses a manufacturing process of an OGS touch screen with a uniform light effect, which includes the following steps in sequence: tempering of a glass substrate, bottom coating, BM photolithography patterning, sputtering of an image-eliminating film layer, sputtering of an ITO1 film layer, making an OC1 insulating layer, sputtering of an ITO2 film layer, making an OC2 layer, sputtering of a metal film layer, post-image elimination, printing, and a CNC process, characterized in that the following steps are also included between the BM photolithography patterning and the sputtering of the image-eliminating film layer process: the first step: printing an acid-resistant ink coating, printing a layer of acid-resistant ink on the large product sheet formed after the BM photolithography patterning process The coating keeps the key graphic area in a non-printing state; the second step: screen printing frosting, making a frosting paste screen printing screen, coating the screen printing screen with acid-resistant photosensitive glue, the screen printing screen pattern only hollows out the key graphic area, and the frosting paste is printed on the glass substrate of the product large-scale key graphic area through the screen printing screen; the third step: frosting etching, frosting etching the surface of the glass substrate in the key graphic area, keeping the frosting paste on the glass substrate for 15 to 65 seconds; the fourth step: cleaning, respectively cleaning the frosting paste in the key graphic area and the acid-resistant ink coating in the unfrosted area; the fifth step: drying, using a dryer for drying. The thickness of the acid-resistant ink coating is 3 to 5um. In the BM photolithography pattern process, alignment targets are set around the product large piece, and in the first and second steps, a CCD image sensor is used to locate the alignment targets. In the first step, a stainless steel chrome-plated screen is used to print the acid-resistant ink coating, and the screen mesh number of the stainless steel chrome-plated screen is 300-380 meshes. In the second step, the screen printing screen adopts a stainless steel chrome-plated screen, the mesh number of the stainless steel chrome-plated screen is 100-250 meshes, and the screen tension is 9-13kg / cm2. The mesh number of the stainless steel chrome-plated screen is 100-200 meshes. The distance between the stainless steel chrome-plated screen and the large piece of the product is 1-3mm. In the second step, the particle size range of the frosting paste is 0.03-0.08mm, the viscosity range is 7000-11000cp, and the use temperature of the frosting paste is controlled at 20-35°C. In the second step, the coating thickness of the acid-resistant photosensitive adhesive is 1.5-2.5mm, and it is coated 2-5 times. In the third step, the cleaning process is divided into four sections. The first section is pure water cleaning. The cleaning equipment cleans the frosting paste in the button graphic area through spraying, water knife and air knife treatment. The second section is weak alkaline liquid cleaning. The acid-resistant ink coating in the unfrosted area is peeled off through spraying, water knife and air knife treatment. The third and fourth sections are both pure water cleaning. The residual weak alkaline liquid is cleaned through spraying, water knife and air knife treatment.
[0004] Obviously, the OGS touch screen achieves uniform and soft light effects through diffusion lamp posts, but cannot solve the cost problem and design interference problem of the existing diffusion film. Utility Model Content
