Patent attributes
The touch panel of the present invention includes a transparent substrate, a plurality of X-direction electrodes, a plurality of Y-direction electrodes, X-direction connecting parts, Y-direction connecting parts, one or more insulation films, X-direction mesh electrodes, and Y-direction mesh electrodes. When there is a part where the one or more insulation films are not formed in the areas where the X-direction connecting parts are formed, at least an X-direction connecting mesh electrode is provided as well. The X-direction electrodes, the Y-direction electrodes, and the X-direction connecting parts are films of a transparent electrically conductive material formed in the same layer. The Y-direction connecting parts are formed like a mesh by an electrically conductive material so as to become a part of a mesh pattern. The X-direction mesh electrodes, the Y-direction mesh electrodes, and the X-direction connecting mesh electrodes are formed by the electrically conductive material.
