TOUCH PANEL DEVICE, ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
A touch panel device includes: a touch panel substrate; a plurality of surface-shaped electrodes which are provided on one surface side of the touch panel substrate and are separated from each other; a first wiring line which makes a connection between the surface-shaped electrodes adjacent to each other in a first direction of the touch panel substrate; a second wiring line which makes a connection between the surface-shaped electrodes adjacent to each other in a second direction different from the first direction and which is formed integrally with the surface-shaped electrodes; and an insulating layer which insulates the first and second wiring lines from each other and is formed by a liquid-phase deposition method, wherein the first wiring line, the insulating layer, and the second wiring line are disposed on the one surface of the touch panel substrate so as to overlap each other in this order.
