Abstract:
1. A touch panel comprising: a transparent substrate having an active area and an inactive area on a circumference of the active area; a plurality of X-axis electrode sensors extending in a horizontal direction and covering the active area; a plurality of Y-axis electrode sensors extending in a vertical direction, crossing the X-axis electrode sensors and covering the active area; a first connector formed on a first side of the transparent substrate including the inactive area, and including a driving IC configured to control the X-axis and Y-axis electrode sensors; a second connector formed on a second side of the transparent substrate including the inactive area, said second side being opposite to the first side; a plurality of lead lines provided to the inactive area and connecting each of the X-axis and Y-axis electrode sensors with one of the first and second connectors; and a signal channel comprising a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) to connect the second connector to the driving IC of the first connector, wherein a portion of the FPCB is placed on a different layer from a layer of the transparent substrate including the X-axis and Y-axis electrode sensors and the lead lines.
