Patent ID: 7538288

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: an upper conductive layer having a lower surface; an upper film being formed on the lower surface and having two opposite X-edges; and two X-electrodes being respectively formed along the X-edges of the upper film; a lower conductive layer being aligned with and adhering beneath the upper conductive layer and having an upper surface being mounted adjacent to the lower surface of the upper conductive layer; a lower film being formed on the upper surface and having two opposite X-edges corresponding to the X-edges of the upper film; and two opposite Y-edges being substantially perpendicular to the X-edges of the lower film; two Y-electrodes being respectively formed along the two Y-edges of the lower film; and multiple through holes being formed through the lower conductive layer and corresponding to the X-electrodes and the Y-electrodes; a substrate being mounted beneath the lower conductive layer using optical adhesive and having a bottom having an edge; multiple wires being formed on the bottom, respectively aligned with the X-electrodes and the Y-electrodes and each wire having a terminus extending towards the edge of the bottom; and multiple mounting holes being formed through the substrate and positioned on the wires and respectively aligning with the through holes of the lower conductive layer; and multiple electrical connectors being respectively mounted in the mounting holes and having bottom ends connecting to corresponding wires; and top ends protruding through corresponding through holes of the lower conductive layer and connecting to the electrodes.
