Claim:
1. A touch panel, comprising: an insulation substrate having an area; a first sensing electrode pattern formed over the insulation substrate and including i) a plurality of first sensing electrodes and ii) a plurality of first connection portions connecting the first sensing electrodes to each other in a first direction; a second sensing electrode pattern formed over the insulation substrate and including a plurality of second sensing electrodes, wherein the first and second sensing electrodes are alternately arranged; and a plurality of second connection portions substantially overlapping the first connection portions and connecting the second sensing electrodes to each other in a second direction crossing the first direction, wherein the second connection portions are electrically insulated from the first connection portions, wherein the first and second directions are inclined with respect to the area dimensions of the insulation substrate, wherein each of the first connection portions is interposed between two adjacent second sensing electrodes, wherein each of the first connection portions has two sides parallel to a length direction of the first connection portions, and wherein one of the two sides of each of the first connection portions forms a first continuous straight line with one side of one of two adjacent first sensing electrodes, and the other of the two sides of each of the first connection portions forms a second continuous straight line with one side of the other of the two adjacent first sensing electrodes so as to increase spatial efficiency of the first and second electrode patterns.
