Claim:
1. A touch panel comprising an active area for detecting position of an input and a dummy area disposed around the active area, the touch panel further comprising: an input unit for inputting information; and a haptic unit positioned on the input unit to apply vibration, wherein the input unit comprises: a first substrate; a sensor unit for detecting an input position on the first substrate; and a wiring electrically connected to the sensor unit; wherein the haptic unit comprises: a second substrate on the first substrate; a recess part on one surface of the second substrate; an electrode unit aligned on the second substrate to receive position information; and an actuator aligned on the recess part to transfer vibration force; wherein the second substrate comprises a first thickness and a second thickness in the active area, wherein the first thickness corresponds to a thickness of the second substrate in the dummy area, wherein the second thickness corresponds to a thickness excluding a depth of the recess part from the first thickness, wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness, wherein the recess part has a concave structure, wherein the actuator is disposed in the concave structure of the active area, and wherein the actuator is transparent.
