Abstract

A touch panel, a manufacturing method thereof, and a corresponding touch device. The touch panel comprises: a substrate; a first, pattern metal layer on the substrate, wherein the first metal layer has a plurality of first touch electrode regions and a plurality of wiring regions between adjacent first touch electrode regions; an insulating layer overlaying the first metal layer; and a second metal layer on the insulating layer. The second metal layer has a plurality of second touch electrode regions. An orthogonal projection of each second touch electrode region on the substrate overlaps an orthogonal projection of a wiring region on the substrate.
