Claim:
1. An integrally-formed capacitive touch panel, comprising: a singular lens substrate having a top surface for receiving physical tactile input and a bottom surface; a mask layer formed on a periphery of said singular lens substrate to define a sensing region; a sensing circuit integrally coupled with said bottom surface of said singular lens substrate, wherein said sensing circuit and said mask layer are integrally formed on said bottom surface of said singular lens substrate, and wherein said sensing circuit is composed of a single layer circuit in said sensing region; and a shielding layer formed on said periphery of said singular lens substrate without shielding said sensing region, wherein said shielding layer is positioned between said singular lens substrate and said mask layer, and wherein said mask layer is formed on said bottom surface of said singular lens substrate through said shielding layer.
