Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A touch panel includes first and second electrode substrates including first and second conductive layers; a first electrode and a second electrode provided on the first conductive layer for causing an electric potential distribution; a third electrode and a fourth electrode provided on the first conductive layer for causing an electric potential distribution such that the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected by the third electrode and the fourth electrode; and a resistance adjusting member including a first resistance portion and a second resistance portion electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode in parallel, respectively, and configured such that resistance values of the first resistance portion and the second resistance portion become lower at the center than at the outer sides in the longitudinal direction of the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A touch panel comprising: a first electrode substrate including a first substrate and a first conductive layer formed on the first substrate; a second electrode substrate including a second substrate and a second conductive layer formed on the second substrate to face the first conductive layer; a first electrode and a second electrode provided to be parallel to each other directly on the first conductive layer for causing an electric potential distribu…
