Abstract

A touch panel includes: an transparent substrate; an X wiring line; a Y wiring line; and an inter-layer insulating film which electrically separates the X wiring line and the Y wiring line at an intersection at which the X wiring line and the Y wiring line intersect in a plan view. At the intersection, the bottom layer of one wiring line of the X wiring line and the Y wiring line continues on the lower surface side of the inter-layer insulating film, and layers of the one wiring line except the bottom layer are divided. Further, at the intersection, layers of the other wiring line of the X wiring line and the Y wiring line except the top layer of the other wiring line are divided, and the top layer of the other wiring line continues on the upper surface side.

Claims (10)

1. A touch panel comprising:

a substrate;

a row-direction wiring line disposed, on said substrate, to extend in a row direction;

a column-direction wiring line disposed, on said substrate, to extend in a column direction and to intersect with said row-direction wiring line in a plan view; and

an inter-layer insulating film which electrically separates said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line at an intersection at which said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line intersect in a plan view,

wherein each of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line has a laminated structure made up of at least two layers,

at said intersection, a bottom layer of one wiring line of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line continues on a lower surface side of said inter-layer insulating film, and layers of the one wiring line except said bottom layer are divided, and

at said intersection, layers of the other wiring line of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line except the top layer of the other wiring line are divided, and the top layer of the other wiring line continues on the upper surface side.

2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , further comprising an antireflection film on a surface of a top layer of each of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line.

3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the top layers of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line are conductive wiring lines having higher refractive indexes than layers of said row-direction wiring line and said column-direction wiring line except the top layers.
