Abstract

The disclosure provides a touch-sensing panel, which includes a substrate, a first mesh pattern, an insulating layer, and a second mesh pattern. The substrate has an active area and a peripheral area. The first mesh pattern is located in the active area. The insulating layer is disposed on the first mesh pattern. The second mesh pattern is located in the active area. At least a part of the second mesh pattern is disposed on the insulating layer. Each of the first mesh pattern and the second mesh pattern includes a plurality of mesh lines. A reflectivity of a surface of one of the first mesh pattern and the second pattern is smaller than a reflectivity of a surface of the other of the first mesh pattern and the second mesh pattern, and a width of each of the mesh lines of the one of the first mesh pattern and the second mesh pattern is smaller than a width of each of the mesh lines of the other of the first mesh pattern and the second mesh pattern.

Claims (22)
