SuperC-Touch’s 4th patent for touch panel (metal mesh touch structure) open to make sales
Taiwan Certificated No.M453899 (new utility model)
Name: Three-dimensional structure of the metal wire touch panel
Price: 600,000. USD
Description:
After discussing how to use metal lines in BM layer as sensors which are located on the surface of color filter glass; lets change the direction to see another mainstream touch technology“metal mesh”which is the future of touch technology most likely replace ITO materials, and for use in large-size touch panel, with cheaper cost, easy production advantages, however, up to now not really have three reasons for mass production, (一) Touch panel makers existing equipment accuracy are not enough to produce metal mesh, In order to make the metal mesh wires invisible, the metal line width may be less than 5um, At present, only the LCD manufacturers have the equipment can do, touch panel makers accuracy of existing equipment is not enough. (二)To use the exiting Touch ICs must reduce the optical transmittance to 80 ~ 90% level. User acceptable transmittance is about 98%, that is sensor must to reduce 98% of the area, with a sensor area must be reduced 50-fold, the sense touch signal volume may also be reduced by 50 times and the current touch IC also unable to detect such tiny signals, SuperC-Touch’s development of the "perturbation resonance" techniques, while feasible, but not mass production. For using the exiting touch IC which must lower the transmittance to 80~90% level, user’s acceptance is a big concern. (三) Mutual capacitance too small to detect. While using mutual capacitance touch technology with metal mesh structures, due to the mutual capacitance is too small to detect, therefore, the metal mesh sensor structure with self-capacitance detection technique appears to be inevitable, then, using self-capacitance detection technique with multi sensor pads structure to achieve true multi-touch is more reasonable choice. The present invention is a good example that how to implant metal mesh to implement multi-point capacitive structure and to overcome the wiring difficulties. We provide this patent to firms who intend to develop such technology to use.
SUMMARY OF THE PATENT:
The creation provides a three-dimensional structure of the metal wire touch panel which includes a panel and a plurality of electrode pads. Has a surface of the panel. A plurality of electrode pads based on a first direction and a second direction arranged on the surface, wherein the plurality of electrode pads in a first direction, with N electrode pads for a group, each i-th electrode pad of the group with an i-th metal trace extend to one side of the panel, i is an integer and 1 ≦ i ≦ N. There is an j-th Insulated trace located between the j-th metal wiring trace and the k-th metal wiring trace, both j and k are integer and 1 ≦ j.

Thanks for every predecessor’s questions about the third invention we mentioned before, also reply as follow:
Dear standly,
Admiring you were the first one to disclose the prices of patents on public; my question is what criteria do you use for pricing? Whether the third patent 5,000,000 U.S dollar pricing too high?
Ans.:
Thank you for your question, what a difficult question to answer. There is always a first time for everything. I wonder if you still remember starring Kevin Costner's "Dances with Wolves" movie, tells the story of the American Civil confrontation, military faceoff to the extremely boring, his horse bolted in between the two armies, so that the enemy targeted when playing live, finally provoked the army's morale, defeated the enemy and ended the war. Now look back at the touch technology development, as seems boring to the extreme. The front-end detection technologies have encountered bottlenecks; software algorithms also have made every effort, more and more firms constantly tried to solve the problem by increasing the signal voltage, on behalf of evolutionary road come a bottleneck. What to do next? It always needs some people to stand out and do something different. In fact, the patent is difficult to have a standard pricing, to buy or not to buy there are too many uncertainties. A useful patent is priceless, but useless patents are junk. However, be useful or useless patents buy mostly luck, only a few rely on the expertise. My patent price is made up with reference of several batch proprietary trading cases, total $ 10.825 billion to buy 23,835 patents, an average of $ 454,000 per patent, are derived from the average value multiplied by a quality factor. If I evaluate it is better than average, then the quality factor is greater than 1, otherwise less than 1. The third patent is compared with the Apple iPhone 5's in cell touch technology, In spite of all the terms are better than Apple's in cell touch structure, so sell 500 million dollars has been seriously underestimated, but still out to contribute to the industry.
If you have further issues to discuss, Welcome to mail me.
SuperC-Touch will do our best to provide you the answers, thank you.
