Abstract

A manufacturing method of a touch panel includes the steps of providing a substrate, forming a first conductive film on the substrate, forming a first mask on the first conductive film, etching the first conductive film to form electrode portions and lower intersect portions of the touch panel, forming an insulating film made of a negative resist on the first conductive film, and forming a contact hole above the electrode portion by removing the insulating film. The steps further include forming a second conductive film on the insulating film, forming a second mask on the second conductive film, etching the second conductive film to form an upper intersect portion connected between two adjacent electrode portions via the contact hole and intersecting with the lower intersect portion, and forming protective film on the second conductive film.

Claims (22)

1. A touch panel comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of electrodes formed on the substrate, the plurality of electrodes including a first group of electrodes and a second group of electrodes, each of the first group of electrodes having a contact portion;

an insulating film made of a negative resist and formed on the plurality of electrodes;

an intersecting electrode formed on the insulating film and intersecting with each of the second group of electrodes; and

a protective film made of a negative resist on the intersecting electrode and on the insulating film,

wherein each of the first group of electrodes is exposed from the insulating film at the contact portion,

wherein the intersecting electrode is connected to each of the first group of electrodes at the contact portion, and

the insulating film is different in a planar shape from the plurality of electrodes.

2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electrodes is made of a transparent conductive material.

3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film is provided above the contact portion.

4. A touch panel comprising:

a substrate;

an X electrode formed on the substrate, the X electrode having a contact portion;

a Y electrode formed on the substrate;

an insulating film made of a negative resist on the X electrode and the Y electrode, the insulating film exposing the contact portion;

an intersecting electrode formed on the insulating film; and

a protective film made of a negative resist on the intersecting electrode and on the insulating film,

wherein the intersecting electrode is connected to the X electrode at the contact portion and intersects the Y electrode, and

the insulating film is different in a planar shape from the X electrode and the Y electrode.

5. The touch panel according to claim 4 , wherein the X electrode and the Y electrode are made of a transparent conductive material.

6. The touch panel according to claim 4 , wherein the protective film is provided above the contact portion.
