Patent ID: 7609252

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: an upper substrate including a transparent conductive film and an upper position detection electrode on a surface thereof, the upper position detection electrode having an upper electrode connecting portion; and a lower substrate including a transparent conductive film, a lower position detection electrode, and an extending electrode on a surface thereof, the extending electrode having a lower electrode connecting portion, the upper substrate and the lower substrate being bonded together, with a sealing agent interposed therebetween, wherein: the transparent conductive film of the upper substrate and the transparent conductive film of the lower substrate face each other, the lower electrode connecting portion has a concave shape and has a conductive adhesive applied thereto such that the lower connecting portion overlaps and is electrically connected to the upper electrode connecting portion, the upper and lower electrode connecting portions are in a vicinity of a portion of the extending electrode where the sealing agent is disposed, and a combined height of the upper and lower electrode connecting portions is more than a combined height of the extending electrode and overlapping sealing agent.
