example 1

[0189] Sensor buttons with diameters of 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm were provided on a thermoplastic deformable film substrate (PMMA film, thickness: 175 μm). The round button is made of a sufficiently transparent material as a sandwich structure with a base electrode layer, a ferroelectric sensor layer, and a cover electrode layer. Electrical contact with the outside is made via a ring conductor path. For the backlight, the LED light source is mounted outside the actual sensing part. LEDs integrated directly next to the sensor section require a very small LED design. These are supplied using pico-LEDs (SMD components) and have very small dimensions (1mm x 0.6mm) and a small thickness of 0.2mm. The sensor button illumination was pre-checked using optical simulations using a commercial ray tracing tool (OpticStudio). Based on simulations, place a sufficient number of pico-LEDs and an equivalent number of series resistors outside the button touch portion.

[0194] This example describes a method for fabricating a backlit pressure- or temperature-sensitive membrane sensor button with a 3D shape (see Figure 2).

[0195] First, a membrane composite is fabricated. The two-dimensional bonding of the functional film (eg PEN) and carrier film (eg ABS) is performed in a roll-to-roll process by wet lamination. In the lamination process, a liquid laminating adhesive is first applied to one of the two films, pre-dried and then the so-coated film is joined to the other film under the influence of pressure and / or temperature superior.

[0196] Then, fabricate the membrane sensor button. The individual layers of the membrane sensor button (sensor interlayer, conductive paths) and decorative ink are applied in a structured manner to a pre-cut membrane using an additional screen printing process including intermediate drying through a mask (screen / stencil) Composite materials (such as PEN / ABS). The printing sequence was as follows: On the prin...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a functional film structure and to a method for producing same. The functional film structure has a sensor key arranged on a film substrate and can be brought into a three-dimensional shape by thermal shaping processes, such as for example vacuum deep drawing or high-pressure forming. The functional film structure is preferably flexible and has preferably transparent and illuminated regions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a three-dimensional functional membrane structure with a sensor unit and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Currently, thin-film surfaces tend to function in the fields of structural electronics, in-mold electronics, and three-dimensional (3D) integrated electronics. The functional film is then molded into a three-dimensional shape or back-molded in a sheet-in-mold injection molding process (FIM) for mechanical stability. An example of this is the European project TERASEL1, in which several FIM demonstrators were provided, such as 3D integrated LEDs on a 3D plastic cover or a board with grooves based on the uniform lighting of the integrated LEDs. There is also a back-mode LED display or light-emitting flexible wristband on the market, where the LEDs are first placed on a stretchable substrate using a pick-and-place method, and then slightly deformed. Overmolding and stabilization are then performed...
