Abstract

A capacitor structure of capacitive touch panel including a first electrode layer, a first material layer, a second material layer and a second electrode layer is provided. The first material layer is disposed on the first electrode layer, and the material of the first material layer is selected from one of a semiconductor material and an insulating material. The second material layer is disposed on the first material layer, and the material of the second material layer is selected from another one of the semiconductor material and the insulating material. The second electrode layer is disposed on the second material layer.

Claims (13)
