  • Publication number: 20100231422
    Abstract: The invention provides a touch panel that can satisfactory support opposing electrodes while reducing variation in the input load value between the perimeter and center sections. The touch panel of the invention has a lower electrode comprising a first transparent base and a first transparent conductive layer laminated on the first transparent base, and an upper electrode comprising a second transparent base and a second transparent conductive layer laminated on the second transparent base, which are mutually opposing in such a manner that the first transparent conductive layer and second transparent conductive layer face each other, the lower electrode and upper electrode being laid facing each other partially sandwiching a bonding member, and the bonding member comprises a first adhesive layer composed of a first resin and a second adhesive layer composed of a second resin.

  • Publication number: 20100231545
    Abstract: The invention provides a touch panel that exhibits high strength at the joints with external circuits, and that does not require high-temperature treatment for formation of the joints. The touch panel of the invention comprises a pair of electrode members, each having a construction with a transparent base and a transparent conductive layer laminated on the transparent base, situated separate and opposing each other with their transparent conductive layers facing, wherein the electrode member has a body section and lead sections formed by protrusions of the transparent base and transparent conductive layer from an edge of the body section, and a pair of extraction electrodes are formed on the side of the transparent conductive layer opposite the transparent base, the pair of extraction electrodes opposing each other in the body section and each extending to the lead sections.
