Abstract

A touch panel includes a transparent dielectric layer having a front surface and a reverse surface opposite to the front surface, first electrode wirings formed on the front surface at an interval in a first direction, and second electrode wirings formed on the reverse surface at an interval in a second direction. When viewed from the front surface of the transparent dielectric layer, each of the first electrode wirings crosses each of the second electrode wirings. At least one of the first electrode wirings includes a bending line having bending sections. At least a portion of the bending sections is positioned to face the interval of the second electrode wirings.
