Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A touch panel of the present invention includes: a cover substrate; a connector being provided on an area of the cover substrate other than a display area, and including a color layer and a shield layer, the shield layer being formed from a multilayer structure, the multilayer structure being configured so that a metal layer and a dielectric layer which is thicker than the metal layer are alternately laminated; and a touch panel substrate being arranged to face the cover substrate with the connector interposed therebetween.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A touch panel comprising: a cover substrate; a connector being provided on an area of the cover substrate other than a display area, and comprising a color layer and a shield layer, the shield layer being formed from a multilayer structure, the multilayer structure being configured so that a metal layer and a dielectric layer which is thicker than the metal layer are alternately laminated; and a touch panel substrate being arranged to face the cover substrate with the connector interposed therebetween. 2 . The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the color layer is formed from a multilayer structure configured so that a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are alternately laminated. 3 . The touch panel according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the low refractive index layer and the high refractive index layer comprises a metal element. 4 . A method of producing a touch panel, comprising: preparing a cover substrate; forming a color layer on an area of the cover substrate other than a display area in a vacuum: forming a shield layer on the color layer in a vacuum, the shield layer having a multilayer structure obtained by alternately laminating a dielectric layer and a metal layer so that the dielectric layer is thicker than the metal layer; and adhering a touch panel substrate onto the shield layer. 5 . An optical thin film substrate, comprising: a substrate; a color layer being provided on the substrate; and a shield layer being provided on the color layer and formed from a multilayer structure configured so that a metal layer and a dielectric layer which is thicker than the metal layer are alternately laminated. 6 . The optical thin film substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the color layer is formed from a multilayer structure configured so that a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer are alternately laminated. 7 . The optical thin film substrate according to claim 6 , wherein at least one of the low refractive index layer and the high refractive index layer comprises a metal element. 8 . The optical thin film substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate or a resin substrate. 9 . A method of producing an optical thin film substrate, comprising: preparing a substrate; forming a color layer on the substrate in a vacuum: and forming a shield layer on the color layer in a vacuum, the shield layer having a multilayer structure obtained by alternately laminating a dielectric layer and a metal layer so that the dielectric layer is thicker than the metal layer.
