Abstract: A touch panel includes a first transparent electrode substrate, a second transparent electrode substrate, a first bonding layer, a first transparent substrate, and a second bonding layer. The first transparent electrode substrate includes a first wiring pattern, a first surface, a second surface, and a first path. The second transparent electrode substrate includes a second wiring pattern, a third surface, a fourth surface, and a second path. The second path causes the third surface and the fourth surface to communicate with each other. The first bonding layer includes a first peripheral area, an opening area, and a third path. The first bonding layer bonds the first transparent electrode substrate and the second transparent electrode substrate to each other. The first transparent substrate is opposed to the second surface. The second bonding layer includes a first opening portion.

Abstract: In a manufacturing apparatus for flat cable adapted for allowing plural conductive wires arranged on the same plane to be put between a first insulating tape on which first peeling sheets are stuck at predetermined intervals and a second insulating tape on which second peeling sheets are stuck at predetermined intervals to stick the first insulating tape, the conductive wires and the second insulating tape in order recited, such an approach is employed to respectively adjust tensions applied to the first and second insulating tapes to thereby respectively independently change expansions/contractions of the first and second insulating tapes. Thus, it is possible to correct sticking errors of the first peeling sheets and the second peeling sheets.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an optical data storage medium in which a reflecting layer is formed on a substrate. A dye containing layer having a reflectivity of 15 to 25% is used as the reflecting layer, and a signal modulation degree of an information signal falls within a range of from 0.3 to 0.6. Further, a real number portion n of complex index of refraction of the reflecting layer is selected so as to satisfy n.gtoreq.1.84.According to the present invention, there is provided an optical data storage medium which can be reproduced by a recording and reproducing apparatus which is designed so as to record and reproduce a medium such as a magneto-optical disc or the like having a reflectivity of about 15 to 25%. Therefore, the recording and reproducing apparatus that can record and reproduce the medium having the reflecting layer whose reflectivity is low can be made small in size and light in weight.
