Abstract:
A resistance film type touch panel in which an upper electrode sheet (1) having upper electrodes (111) on one face of a flexible transparent film (9) and a hard coat layer (12) on an other face of the film, and a lower electrode sheet (2) having lower electrodes (121) confronting the upper electrodes on one face of a glass substrate (10) are disposed to face each other over a distance maintained by spacers (13) between the upper electrodes and the lower electrodes confronting the upper electrodes and respective peripheries of the upper electrodes and the lower electrodes confronting the upper electrodes are bonded by an adhesive layer (3),wherein the transparent film and the hard coat layer are fused at side end parts thereby forming fused parts (14), so that a surface layer part of each side end face of the glass substrate adjacent to the fused parts becomes a compressive stress layer (10a).
