MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPED TOUCH PANEL SENSOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a three-dimensional shaped touch panel sensor capable of reducing cost and obtaining positional detecting accuracy in a favorable manner.SOLUTION: A manufacturing method of a three-dimensional shaped touch panel sensor includes procedures sequentially: a step 1 for forming a ground layer on a surface of a planar substrate 11 having plasticity that can follow the deformation of the planar substrate 11; a step 2 for forming electrode patterns 12, 13 on the ground layer; and a step 3 for forming the planar substrate 11 on which the ground layer and the electrode patterns 12, 13 are formed into a three-dimensional shape. The procedures can include a step 4 for forming a plating layer on the electrode patterns 12, 13.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】コストを低減すること、および、良好な位置検出精度を得ることのできる３次元形状タッチパネルセンサの製造方法の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】３次元形状タッチパネルセンサの製造方法において、可塑性を有する平面状の基材１１の表面に、当該平面状の基材１１の変形に追随可能な下地層を形成する工程１と、前記下地層の上に電極パターン１２，１３を形成する工程２と、前記下地層と前記電極パターン１２，１３が形成された前記平面状の基材１１を３次元形状に成形する工程３と、をこの順序で含む。また、電極パターン１２，１３の上にめっき層を形成する工程４をさらに含んでよい。【選択図】 図１
