Patent ID: 8223135

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a light-transparent upper substrate; an upper conductive layer formed on a lower surface of the upper substrate; a lower conductive layer facing the upper conductive layer with a prescribed space held therefrom; a light-transparent lower substrate, the lower conductive layer being formed on an upper surface thereof; a front electrode provided at a first end of the upper conductive layer, including a first derivation section extending from the front electrode toward a first end side of the upper substrate; a rear electrode provided on the upper conductive layer at a second end opposite the first end and extending toward the first end side so as to surround a circumference of the upper substrate, and including a second derivation section and a third derivation section being formed at both ends, respectively, of the rear electrode; a left electrode provided on the lower conductive layer at a third end in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the first end and the second end of the upper conductive layer, and including a fourth derivation section at an end of the left electrode and extending toward the first end side; and a right electrode provided on the lower conductive layer at a fourth end opposite the third end, and including a fifth derivation section at an end of the right electrode and extending toward the first side.
