Patent ID: 8704795

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a first base substrate comprising: a first member; and a first resistance film on the first member; a second base substrate comprising: a second member; and a second resistance film located on the second member, and facing the first resistance film; a wiring electrode located on the second member; a conductive connection member that is disposed between the first base substrate and the second base substrate and that electrically connects the first resistance film to the wiring electrode; and an auxiliary electrode that is partially covered by the wiring electrode and that is in contact with the conductive connection member, wherein a resistivity of the auxiliary electrode is smaller than a resistivity of the wiring electrode, and wherein the wiring electrode comprises on a surface thereof a resistance layer having a higher resistivity than the auxiliary electrode, and wherein a thickness of the resistance layer is smaller on the contact surface in contact with the auxiliary electrode than on the contact surface in contact with the conductive connection member.
