Abstract: A touch panel includes a transparent substrate, a first pattern/layer on the transparent substrate, and an second pattern/layer on or under the first pattern/layer. The first pattern/layer includes first electrodes detecting a first coordinate value and first metal interconnections connecting the first electrodes to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The second pattern/layer includes second electrodes detecting a second coordinate value and second metal interconnections connecting the second electrodes to the FPCB.
