  • Publication number: 20240028174
    Abstract: In the present invention a detection unit of a touch panel has sensor electrodes and a plurality of lead-out wires connected to the sensor electrodes. Each lead-out wire is provided with a wiring main section. The sensor electrodes are provided with a plurality of electrode main sections and a plurality of connection sections. The wiring main sections and electrode main sections are formed by repeatedly arranging side by side, in a first direction, unit patterns having a prescribed shape. In a second direction two adjacent electrode main sections are connected to each other by at least one connection section. Connections sections which are near to each other in the second direction are in different positions in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20220197433
    Abstract: A touch panel includes an electrode layer made of a conductive mesh, and provided with a first electrode, a second electrode, and a dummy electrode. The first electrode has a first facing part, which is formed in a first region. The second electrode has a second facing part, which is formed in a second region. The first and second facing parts face each other and are separated from each other in a predetermined direction. The dummy electrode has an interposition part located at least partially between the first and second facing parts. The interposition part is formed in a dummy region, which has a first end portion region and a second end portion region as both end regions in a predetermined direction. The first region and the first end portion region overlap each other, and the second region and the second end portion region overlap each other.

  • Patent number: 9921682
    Abstract: In a touch panel in which a sensor electrode array, frame wiring set that is located outside the sensor electrode array and connected to the sensor electrode array, and a first outer ground wiring line located outside the frame wiring set are formed on a transparent substrate of the touch panel, shielding wiring covering the frame wiring set is provided, with an insulating layer placed between the frame wiring set and the shielding wiring, and a second outer ground wiring line is provided outside the shielding wiring. The shielding wiring is connected to a ground wiring line included in the frame wiring set through a hole formed in the insulating layer and is insulated from the second outer ground wiring line.

  • Patent number: 9811230
    Abstract: A touch panel includes first sensor electrode arrays in which first island-shaped electrode portions are arrayed along a first direction and connected through connecting portions, second sensor electrode arrays in which second island-shaped electrode portions are arrayed at intervals along a second direction, jumper wiring portions being superimposed through insulating portions and connecting the second island-shaped electrode portions arranged adjacent to each other along the second direction, and a lead-out wiring portion connected to the first and second sensor electrode arrays, the first and second sensor electrode arrays being formed of a first transparent conductor layer having a first thickness, the jumper wiring portions being formed of a second transparent conductor layer having a second thickness, the lead-out wiring portion being formed of a third transparent conductor layer having a third thickness that is larger than the first thickness.
