  • Capacitive touch panel that detects the approach of the user
    Patent number: 11157126
    Abstract: A touch panel is formed by laminating: a glass substrate having a touch surface; an X-axis sensor unit having parallel patterns, each of which having diamond-shaped X-axis lattices 10A and 10B aligned in an X-axis direction; an Y-axis sensor unit having parallel patterns each of which having Y-axis lattices 14A and 14B aligned in a Y-axis direction; and an insulation layer arranged between the X-axis sensor unit and the Y-axis sensor unit. The X-axis lattices and the Y-axis lattices are not overlapped when seen from a side of the touch surface. A gap 17 is formed between a frame line 10a of the X-axis lattice and a frame line 14a of the Y-axis lattice. A protrusion part 12 extended parallel to a lattice side of a fine lattice from the frame line 10a of the X-axis lattices 10A and 10B is arranged in the gap 17.
