Abstract

Disclosed herein is a touch panel including a glass cover, a light transmitting conductive film, a flexible circuit board, a light blocking print layer, and a colored print layer.

Claims (21)

1. A touch panel, comprising:

a glass cover having a first face side and a second face side, the first face side being an inputting face side and the second face side being opposite to the first face side;

a light transmitting conductive film formed on the second face side of said glass cover, the light transmitting conductive film configuring an input position detecting electrode in an inputting region;

a flexible circuit board electrically connected to an end portion of a peripheral wiring line in a mounting region existing in a peripheral region;

a first light blocking layer formed between the glass cover and the peripheral wiring line in the peripheral region so as to overlap the mounting region when viewed from the first face side of the glass cover; and

a second light blocking layer formed on the second face side of said glass cover so as to sandwich the peripheral wiring line between the first light blocking layer and the second light blocking layer in the mounting region.

2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein said first light blocking layer has a thickness smaller than that of said second light blocking layer.

3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein said first blocking layer has a thickness smaller than that of 10 μm.

4. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein said second light blocking layer partially overlaps with said first light blocking layer.

5. The touch panel according to claim 4 , wherein said second light blocking layer covers a portion of said flexible circuit board which overlaps with said glass cover.

6. The touch panel according to claim 4 , wherein said second light blocking layer partially overlaps with said first light blocking layer without overlapping with said flexible circuit board.

7. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein said glass cover is made of tempered glass.

8. An electro-optical apparatus comprising:

an image production apparatus; and

a touch panel,

wherein the touch panel includes

a glass cover having a first face side and a second face side, the first face side being an inputting face side and the second face side being opposite to the first face side,

a light transmitting conductive film formed on the second face side of said glass cover, the light transmitting conductive film configuring an input position detecting electrode in an inputting region,

a flexible circuit board electrically connected to an end portion of a peripheral wiring line in a mounting region existing in a peripheral region,

first light blocking layer formed between the glass cover and the peripheral wiring line in the peripheral region so as to overlap the mounting region when viewed from the first face side of the glass cover, and

a second light blocking layer formed on the second face side of said glass cover so as to sandwich the peripheral wiring line between the first light blocking layer and the second light blocking layer in the mounting region.
