Metal mesh type touch screen panel
A touch screen panel includes a plurality of first touch electrode serials arranged in a first direction, a plurality of second touch electrode serials arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction, and an insulating layer insulating the first touch electrode serials and the second touch electrode serials. Each first touch electrode serial includes a plurality of first mesh patterns formed by an intersection of first metal lines. Each second touch electrode serial includes a plurality of second mesh patterns formed by an intersection of second metal lines. The first mesh patterns are connected to one another, and the second mesh patterns are separated from one another. The separated first mesh patterns are connected to one another through a bridge.
