Definitions
- the present invention relates to touch sensors or touch screens. More particularly, the present invention relates to anti-reflective coatings for touch sensors or touch screens.
- touch sensors or touch screens such as, capacitive or resistive touch screens
- touch sensors or touch screens are utilized in front of a computer driven display capable of variable images or in front of a non-variable display capable of providing fixed images.
- the touch sensor or touch screen provides an interface so that a human can provide commands to a computer or other control device.
- Touch screens can be utilized with computers, control panels, controllers, pocket organizers (Palm Pilot ® organizer), arcade games, or any electronic device requiring human interaction.
- the touch screen is placed above (in front of) the display and includes at least one conductive layer which is utilized to sense the presence and location of a touch.
- a conventional resistive touch screen includes two layers which are often referred to as, a flex layer and a stable layer. Both the flex layer and the stable layer have transparent, conductive coatings on opposing surfaces. The flex layer and the stable layer are separated from each other by an air gap or other non-conductive medium.
- the two transparent, conductive coatings are brought into electrical contact.
- the flex layer is deformed and the conductive coating on the flex layer contacts the conductive coating on the stable layer.
- the stable layer is not flexible.
- Conventional resistive touch screens include matrix touch screens and analog touch screens.
- Matrix touch screens generally have transparent conductive coatings patterned in rows on one surface (the flex layer) and in columns (orthogonal to the rows) on the opposing surface (the stable layer).
- a discrete switch is closed.
- the discrete switch is associated with a particular row and column.
- a computer or other electronic circuit can be utilized to provide electric signals to the rows and columns and determine the horizontal and vertical position (X,Y coordinate) associated with the discrete switch which is closed.
- analog resistive touch screens the transparent, conductive surfaces are provided on the flex and stable layers.
- the conductive coatings have uniform sheet resistivity.
- the sheet resistivity used in analog resistive touch screens is typically between 100 and 1000 Ohms/square, with 200 to 400 Ohms/square being a preferred resistivity.
- a voltage is applied to one end of one of the transparent, conductive (resistive) layers through a conductive bus bar, while the other end of the same layer is held at ground, to produce a linear voltage gradient across the screen.
- the bus bars are configured to create a horizontal voltage gradient on one screen and a vertical voltage gradient on the other screen.
- the analog resistive touch screen is connected to a computer or electronic circuit which decodes the voltages and converts it to a position associated with the touch. Two voltage readings are used to assign a horizontal and vertical (X, Y coordinate) position for the location of the touch. Points can be recorded electronically fast enough that signatures can be digitized and recorded.
- Optical transmission of light through the touch screen is adversely affected if light is absorbed or reflected as it is transmitted through the touch screen.
- the amount of light reflected at any interface between two materials depends upon the refractive indices and thicknesses of the two materials on either side of the interface. The amount of reflection is proportional to the difference between refractive indices (the larger the difference in the refractive index, the greater the amount of light is reflected). Light that is reflected is not transmitted through the touch screen.
- the conductive coatings associated with the flex layer and stable layer of the touch screen have a refractive index which is typically 1.8 to 2.2.
- Air associated with the air gap between the conductive coatings has a refractive index which is 1.0.
- the large difference in refractive indexes associated with the conductive coating and air gap interfaces is the greatest difference in refractive indexes in the entire resistive touch screen construction. Accordingly, the conductive coating and air gap interfaces cause the greatest amount of light reflection. Thus, it is desirable to reduce the amount of reflection associated with the conductive coating and air gap interfaces.
- Anti-reflective coatings generally use alternating layers of transparent materials having low and high or high and low refractive indexes on a substrate.
- the indexes are chosen so that the index and thickness of the layers results in destructive interference between the light reflected off the first and second layers. The total amount of light reflected can be minimized if the optical thickness is designed for maximum destructive interference of reflected light.
- Conventional touch screen systems have utilized a two layer anti- reflective coating to reduce reflection at the conductive coating and air gap interface.
- the two layer an ti -reflective coating is applied to the substrate of the flex layer.
- the two layer anti-reflective coating includes a silicon dioxide layer above the substrate and a conductive coating above the silicon dioxide layer.
- the conductive coating above the silicon dioxide layer is utilized to sense the touch as described above.
- the touch screen includes translucent material.
- the touch screen allows viewing through the translucent material.
- the translucent material has an exterior side closer to an exterior of a touch screen and an interior side closer to an interior of the touch screen.
- the anti-reflective coating includes a first layer, a second layer and a third layer.
- the first layer is disposed adjacent the interior side of the translucent material.
- the first layer has a high refractive index.
- the second layer has a low refractive index and is disposed adjacent the first layer.
- the third layer is disposed adjacent the second layer and is closer to the second layer than the first layer.
- the third layer is conductive and is utilized to sense touches on the touch screen.
- the anti-reflective coating reduces reflection at the interior air interface.
- a touch screen layer including a polyester film.
- the touch screen allows viewing through the polyester film layer.
- the polyester film has an exterior side farther from a touch and an interior side closer to the touch.
- the touch screen also includes an anti -reflective coating means for increasing transmission through the polyester film.
- the anti- reflective coating means includes a first layer disposed adjacent the interior side, a second layer disposed adjacent the first layer, and a third layer disposed adjacent the second layer.
- the third layer is closer to the second layer than the first layer.
- the third layer is conductive.
- the touch screen includes a translucent material.
- the touch screen provides visual indicia through the translucent material.
- the translucent material has an exterior side closer to an exterior of the touch screen and an interior side closer to an interior of the touch screen.
- the method includes providing a first layer adjacent the interior side of the translucent material, providing a second layer adjacent the second layer, and providing a third layer adjacent the second layer.
- the first layer has a high refractive index
- the second layer has a low refractive index.
- the third layer is closer to the second layer than the first layer.
- the third layer is conductive and is adjacent an air gap. The first, second and third layers reduce reflection at the interior air interface.

- screen 10 can be a matrix touch screen, or other type of apparatus for sensing touches.
- Touch screen 10 includes a flex layer 20, a spacer 30, and a stable layer 40.
- Flex layer 20 and stable layer 40 are preferably opposing substrates separated by an air gap 32 ( Figure 1). Gap 32 is necessary to allow contact between the conductive coatings on surfaces 21 and 41 and yet insulate surfaces 21 and 41 from each other.
- Layers 20 and 40 each advantageously include a triple layer anti-reflective coating (See Figures 3 and 4) on interior surfaces 21 and 41 , respectively.

- Screen 10 senses the existence and location of a touch on surface 22. Exterior surface 22 is closer to the touch than interior surface 21. Spacer 30 is insulative and provides air gap 32 between layer 20 and layer 40. Layer 20 is deformed to contact layer 40 across air gap 32. When layer 20 contacts layer 40, the touch from a finger or stylus can be sensed. Generally, the touch is sensed when conductive surface 21 contacts conductive surface 41.

- ITO indium tin oxide
- surfaces 21 and 41 have a resistivity of 200-400 Ohms/square.
- the film is typically deposited by a sputtering technique.
- Layers 20 and 40 are typically a thin translucent substrate, such as glass or polyester. As used in this application, the term translucent means allowing at least some or all light to pass. A translucent material includes all materials which are transparent and/or non-opaque. Preferably, layers 20 and 40 are manufactured from a polyester (PET) film which is .005 to .007 inches thick. Layers 20 and 40 include triple layer anti-reflective coatings including the thin ITO film on surfaces 21 and 41 , respectively. Images are provided through touch screen 10. Sources for such images can be, cathode ray tubes (CRTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), plasma displays, EL displays, books, pictures, or other sources of information. Touch screen 10 can include an inlay which provides visual indicia or can include a screen capable of providing variable visual indicia.

- layer 56 is an ultraviolet light cured acrylate which provides a hard coating and is 0.0001 to 0.0015 inches thick.
- Layer 56 can have a roughened surface to decrease reflective glare off surface 22 and to reduce the visibility of finger prints on surface 22.
- the roughened surface of layer 56 can be produced by a filler material, such as, silica particles.
- Surface 21 generally does not include a hard coating layer such as layer 56.
- Surface 21 can include a textured coating, such as, acrylic or other clear polymer coating filled with glass or plastic spheres to prevent Newton rings in the final touch screen construction.
- Layer 20 is built on a PET layer or substrate 60.
- Anti-reflective coating 52 includes a layer 62, a layer 64 and a layer 66.
- Layer 62 can be provided directly on substrate 60 or on the Newton ring coating upon layer 60.
- Layer 62 can be a high index translucent material, such as, indium tin oxide (ITO), tin antimony oxide, tin oxide or yttrium oxide provided on surface 21.
- Layer 62 can be a conductive or non-conductive layer.

- anti-reflective coating 52 is described. However, description of anti-reflective coating 52 is applicable to anti -reflective coating 54. Although specific materials and thicknesses are given, the details disclosed are examples only. Layers 62, 64 and 66 can be applied to substrate 60 by sputtering or evaporation deposition technique.
- Layer 62 is preferably a film or coating having a high index of refraction such as between 1.8 and 2.9.
- Layer 62 can be indium tin oxide (ITO).
- layer 62 can be manufactured from other materials having a high index of refraction including, but not limited to, tin oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, titanium oxide, and niobium oxide. Thicknesses for layer 62 can range from 10-100 nm depending upon the type of material used.
- Layer 64 preferably has a low index of refraction, such as, between 1.4 and 1.6 and is an insulative material.

Alternatively, the ranges and thickness for layers 62, 64, and 66 can be from 10 to 100 nm for each layer. In addition, anti-reflective coating 52 can include more than triple layers, although adding additional layers adds to the cost of coating 52.
- Conventional touch screens 10 which do not include coatings 62 and
- anti-reflective coatings 62 and 64 generally reflect approximately 8 % of the light from each ITO to air interface. Although conventional reflective coatings can reduce this reflection to 4 to 6%, anti-reflective coatings 62 and 64 can further reduce this reflection to 1.5 to 2.5% . This is a considerable gain from conventional anti-reflective coatings and an even further gain from touch screen which have no anti -reflective coating whatsoever.
