  • Patent number: 10296153
    Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic capacitance touch panel with high manufacturing yield that can significantly decrease occurrence of defective product due to short circuit as compared with related art even if there is short circuit between a dummy pattern and an electrode included in an insulated area with wide width recognized as distinct from the electrode. Several first electrodes 20, several second electrodes 30, and a dummy pattern 50 made from the same material as or a material with the same refractive index as the electrode provided in an insulated area 40 between the adjacent first electrode 20 and the second electrode 30 are provided over the same surface of an insulating substrate 10. The dummy pattern 50 is segmented in the long direction of the insulated area.
