Abstract

A touch panel which includes: a first electrode substrate; a second electrode substrate; a plurality of X-direction transparent electrodes formed on a main surface of the first electrode substrate; a plurality of Y-direction transparent electrodes formed on a main surface of the second electrode substrate; a plurality of X-direction drawn-round wires directly connected to transparent electrodes that are connected to the plurality of X-direction transparent electrodes; a plurality of X-direction drawn-round wires directly connected to external connections that are connected by the plurality of X-direction drawn-round wires directly connected to transparent electrodes and a plurality of through-holes; and a plurality of Y-direction drawn-round wires connected to the plurality of Y-direction transparent electrodes.

Claims (16)

1. A touch panel comprising:

a first electrode substrate;

a second electrode substrate;

a plurality of first transparent electrodes formed on at least one main surface of the first electrode substrate;

a plurality of second transparent electrodes formed on a main surface of the second electrode substrate;

a plurality of through-holes disposed between the first electrode substrate and the second electrode substrate;

a plurality of first drawn-round wires, a first group of the first drawn-round wires being directly connected to a first group of the first transparent electrodes without being directly connected to the plurality of through-holes such that the first group of the first drawn-round wires are used for external connection, and a second group of the first drawn-round wires being directly connected to a second group of the first transparent electrodes and the plurality of through-holes; and

a plurality of second drawn-round wires connected to the plurality of second transparent electrodes.

2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of second drawn-round wires comprise

a first group of the second drawn-round wires directly connected to a first group of the second transparent electrodes; and

a second group of the second drawn-round wires directly connected to external connections and to the plurality of through-holes.

3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an adhesive layer for joining the first and second electrode substrates, such that the plurality of through-holes penetrate the adhesive layer,

wherein the first electrode substrate includes a main surface on which the first group of the first drawn-round wires are formed, and

the second electrode substrate includes a main surface on which the second group of the first drawn-round wires are formed.
