Patent ID: 8890838

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: X electrodes; and Y electrodes which intersect the X electrodes; wherein the X electrodes and the Y electrodes respectively include: intersection portions each formed where the X electrodes and the Y electrodes overlap each other; and individual electrodes each formed between the intersection portions and being wider than the intersection portions; wherein a number of the individual electrodes of the X electrodes is n and a number of the individual electrodes of the Y electrodes is m; wherein an area of the individual electrodes of the X electrodes is smaller than an area of the individual electrodes of the Y electrodes if the number n is larger than the number m so that the individual electrode of the X electrodes is reduced in area with respect to an area of the individual electrode of the Y electrodes; and wherein a floating electrode is formed between the individual electrode of the X electrode and the Y electrode, and disposed outside of and around the area of the individual electrode of the at least one of the X electrodes and within a perimeter of an area which corresponds in area to the individual electrode of the one of the Y electrodes.
