Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A touch panel includes a panel member and a multilayer film joined to a front face of the panel member, the multilayer film including a conductive film having a conductive layer and a protective film. In the multilayer film, the respective films are laminated to each other via an adhesive layer formed of a thermosetting type adhesive agent and formed in a three-dimensional shape along the front face.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A touch panel comprising: a panel member; and a multilayer film joined to a front face of the panel member, the multilayer film including a conductive film having a conductive layer and a protective film; wherein in the multilayer film, the respective films are laminated to each other via an adhesive layer formed of a thermosetting type adhesive agent and formed in a three-dimensional shape along the front face. 2 . The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the protective film comprises a decorative film having a decorative layer. 3 . A method of manufacturing a touch panel, the method comprising: a film making step for making a multilayer film by laminating a conductive film having a conductive layer and a protective film each other via an adhesive layer formed of a thermosetting type adhesive agent; a film shaping step for forming the multilayer film into a three-dimensional shape with heating this multilayer film; and a panel integrating step in which the formed multilayer film is placed in a mold for injection molding and molten resin is injected into the mold for molding a panel member, thereby integrating the multilayer film and the panel member to each other.
