Abstract

A method for manufacturing a touch screen linearization pattern which is necessary for a five wire resistive type or current sensing type touch screen, and directly affects the accuracy, production price, and border area size of the touch screen, includes the steps of printing a linearization pattern on the border area of a conductive glass surface with a selected ink. The ink is made by blending highly conductive silver powder between about 59% to 62% in weight and carbon powder between about 14% to 16% in a contact agent solvent between about 24% to 25% in weight. The touch screen thus formed has a resistance value ratio of about ten between the square surface of the glass layer and the two ends of the linearization pattern.
