TOUCH PANEL
The invention provides a touch panel that can satisfactory support opposing electrodes while reducing variation in the input load value between the perimeter and center sections. The touch panel of the invention has a lower electrode comprising a first transparent base and a first transparent conductive layer laminated on the first transparent base, and an upper electrode comprising a second transparent base and a second transparent conductive layer laminated on the second transparent base, which are mutually opposing in such a manner that the first transparent conductive layer and second transparent conductive layer face each other, the lower electrode and upper electrode being laid facing each other partially sandwiching a bonding member, and the bonding member comprises a first adhesive layer composed of a first resin and a second adhesive layer composed of a second resin.
1 . A touch panel having a lower electrode comprising a first transparent base and a first transparent conductive layer laminated on the first transparent base, and an upper electrode comprising a second transparent base and a second transparent conductive layer laminated on the second transparent base, which are mutually opposing in such a manner that the first transparent conductive layer and second transparent conductive layer face each other, wherein
the lower electrode and upper electrode are laid facing each other partially sandwiching a bonding member, and
the bonding member comprises a first adhesive layer composed of a first resin, and a second adhesive layer composed of a second resin that is softer than the first resin.
2 . A touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding member is formed so that the first adhesive layer and second adhesive layer are separated in the thickness direction.
3 . A touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer has a smaller width on either the lower electrode or upper electrode, as compared to the other one, in a cross-section along the widthwise direction of the bonding member, and
the second adhesive layer is formed in a manner filling at least the section of reduced width of the first adhesive layer in that cross-section.
4 . A touch panel according to claim 3 , wherein the first adhesive layer is formed in such a manner that its thickness decreases from the outside toward the inside of the touch panel.
5 . A touch panel according to claim 3 , wherein the first adhesive layer has a shape with arches in the cross-section.
