Abstract

The present invention can achieve the purpose of enhancing the strength and the anti-crack ability of a glass plate. The glass plate includes a transparent glass-based element and a high polymer plastic membrane. The high polymer plastic membrane is framed on at least one part of the peripheral side of the transparent glass-based element and performs a capillary action on at least one part in a liquid state and then to be combined tightly with the transparent glass-based element after being solidified.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A touch sensitive display, comprising:
a glass plate comprising:
a transparent touch panel glass having a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of peripheral sides, wherein the transparent touch panel glass has defects on the peripheral sides of the transparent touch panel glass; and
a solidified polymer plastic membrane configured to secure with the defects of the transparent touch panel glass so as to frame the peripheral sides of the transparent touch panel glass, wherein:
an area of the transparent touch panel glass that is not covered by the solidified polymer plastic membrane is defined as a visible area,
a first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a first portion of the first surface, and
a second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a second portion of the first surface; and

a display module disposed on the first surface, wherein:
the display module is disposed at the visible area, and
the display module is disposed between the first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane and the second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane.

2. The touch sensitive display according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover glass disposed over the second surface of the transparent touch panel glass.

3. The touch sensitive display according to claim 2 , wherein the cover glass is further framed with a second solidified polymer plastic membrane disposed on at least part of a peripheral side of the cover glass.

4. The touch sensitive display according to claim 2 , wherein the solidified polymer plastic membrane has a third portion disposed on the second surface, and the cover glass is disposed on the third portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane so that a gap is defined between the cover glass and the transparent touch panel glass.

5. The touch sensitive display according to claim 2 , further comprising a housing accommodating the glass plate, the display module and the cover glass.

6. The touch sensitive display according to claim 1 , wherein the solidified polymer plastic membrane is derived by curing a liquid-state high polymer.

7. The touch sensitive display according to claim 6 , wherein the liquid-state high polymer is a heat curing adhesive, a light curing adhesive, or a moisture curing adhesive.

8. The touch sensitive display according to claim 1 , further comprising a housing accommodating the glass plate and the display module.

9. The touch sensitive display according to claim 1 , wherein the display module is attached to the first surface without contacting the solidified polymer plastic membrane.

10. The touch sensitive display according to claim 1 , comprising a cover glass, wherein:
a third portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a first portion of the second surface,
a fourth portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a second portion of the second surface, and
the cover glass overlies the third portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the fourth portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, and the visible area of the transparent touch panel glass.

11. The touch sensitive display according to claim 10 , wherein a gap is defined by the third portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the fourth portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the cover glass, and the second surface of the transparent touch panel glass.

12. The touch sensitive display according to claim 10 , wherein the cover glass is in contact with the third portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane and the fourth portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane.

13. A touch sensitive display, comprising:
a glass plate comprising:
a transparent touch panel glass having a first surface, a second surface and a plurality of peripheral sides, wherein the transparent touch panel glass has defects on the peripheral sides of the transparent touch panel glass; and
a solidified polymer plastic membrane configured to secure with the defects of the transparent touch panel glass so as to frame the peripheral sides of the transparent touch panel glass, wherein:
an area of the transparent touch panel glass that is not covered by the solidified polymer plastic membrane is defined as a visible area,
a first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a first portion of the second surface, and
a second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane is in contact with a second portion of the second surface;

a display module disposed on the first surface, wherein the display module is disposed at the visible area; and
a cover glass, wherein the cover glass overlies the first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, and the visible area of the transparent touch panel glass.

14. The touch sensitive display according to claim 13 , wherein a gap is defined by the first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane, the cover glass, and the second surface of the transparent touch panel glass.

15. The touch sensitive display according to claim 13 , wherein the cover glass is in contact with the first portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane and the second portion of the solidified polymer plastic membrane.

16. The touch sensitive display according to claim 13 , further comprising a housing accommodating the glass plate, the display module and the cover glass.

17. The touch sensitive display according to claim 13 , wherein the cover glass is further framed with a second solidified polymer plastic membrane disposed on at least part of a peripheral side of the cover glass.

18. The touch sensitive display according to claim 13 , wherein the display module is attached to the first surface without contacting the solidified polymer plastic membrane.
