Abstract

Discussed is a touch screen panel including: a substrate; a first line electrode in a mesh pattern on the substrate; a plurality of first segment electrodes disposed on the first line electrode; a second line electrode in a mesh pattern on the substrate, and disconnected in an intersection area where the second line electrode is to intersect the first line electrode; a plurality of second segment electrodes disposed on the second line electrode; and a plurality of connection electrodes that connect the disconnected second line electrode in the intersection area, wherein the first and second line electrodes reduce resistance, and the first and second segment electrodes increase effective capacitance for sensing a touch to thereby reduce an RC-delay in the touch screen panel.
