Patent ID: 8599565

Claim:
A touchscreen panel that detects a position where two conductor layers contact each other, the touchscreen panel comprising: a first substrate having a first transparent conductor layer provided on a first base layer; a second substrate having a second transparent conductor layer facing the first transparent conductor layer and provided on a second base layer and electrodes provided at four sides of the second substrate; a spacer interposed between the first and second transparent conductor layers so that the first and second transparent conductor layers oppose each other and the first transparent conductor layer and the second transparent conductor layer make contact when the touchscreen panel is pressed, wherein the first transparent conductor layer is segmented into an array of M rows by N columns of conductive regions that are electrically insulated from each other, where M and N are natural numbers greater than or equal to 2, wherein one column of the conductive regions includes a first conductive region coupled to a first leader electrode at one end of the first substrate extending in a direction along the rows, and a second conductive region, having a first leader part extending along and between one side of the first conductive region and a column adjacent to the one column, and wherein the second conductive region is coupled to a second leader electrode via the first leader part at the one end of the first substrate.
