Touch panel and liquid crystal display device having the touch panel
View Patent ↗A touch panel includes plural scanning electrodes, plural detection electrodes that are formed to intersect with the plural scanning electrodes, one or a plurality of layers being disposed between the plural detection electrodes and the plural scanning electrodes, plural holes that are arrayed apart from each other on each of the plural detection electrodes, and shaped into polygons each shaped to have five or more corners in a plan view, and plural dummy electrodes that are formed between the respective adjacent detection electrodes, made of the same material as that of the detection electrode, and electrically isolated from each other, in which the plural dummy electrodes are shaped into the polygons in a plan view.
1. A touch panel, comprising:
a plurality of scanning electrodes;

a plurality of dummy electrodes that are formed between the respective adjacent detection electrodes, made of the same material as that of the detection electrode, and arrayed apart from each other,
wherein a surface shape of the plurality of dummy electrodes have the same polygonal shape as that of the hole of the detection electrodes, and
the surface shape of the plurality of dummy electrodes are not the same as that of the detection electrodes.
2. The touch panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of holes shaped into the polygons and arrayed on the detection electrodes, and the plurality of dummy electrodes form a uniform contiguous array.
3. The touch panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the planar view shape of the polygons is viewed as a circle by increasing the number of corners.
4. The touch panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein in a detection electrode formation area in which the detection electrodes are formed, a ratio of an area of the plurality of holes to an area of the detection electrodes is equal to or larger than 2/3 and equal to or smaller than 3/2.
5. The touch panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein distances between centers of the respective adjacent polygons are equal to each other.
6. The touch panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a shield electrode which is an electrode in which the plurality of holes shaped into the polygons are formed outside of a display area in which the detection electrodes are formed.
7. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
the touch panel according to claim 1 ;
pixel electrodes that form an electric field with the scanning electrodes as counter electrodes; and liquid crystal having an orientation controlled by the electric field.
8. A touch panel, comprising:
a plurality of scanning electrodes;
a plurality of detection electrodes that are formed to intersect with the plurality of scanning electrodes, one or a plurality of layers being disposed between the plurality of detection electrodes and the plurality of scanning electrodes;
a plurality of holes shaped that are arrayed apart from each other on each of the plurality of detection electrodes, and shaped into polygons each shaped to have five or more corners in a plan view; and
a plurality of dummy electrodes that are formed between the respective adjacent detection electrodes, made of the same material as that of the detection electrode, and arrayed apart from each other,
