A touch panel includes a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, and a plurality of wirings. Each of the plurality of first electrodes has a first portion formed on a layer different from that on which the second electrodes are formed and intersecting the second electrodes, and a second portion formed on the same layer as that on which the second electrodes are formed, but separated from the second electrode. The second electrode and the second portion of the first electrode are formed on a layer upper than the layer where the wiring is formed. The first portion of the first electrode is connected to the second portion in a contact hole formed on an insulating film between the first portion and the second electrode, and formed on the same layer on which the wiring is formed.
