Patent ID: 8587533

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a substrate having a front surface, a detection region provided on the front surface, and a wiring region provided on the front surface outside the detection region; a plurality of detection electrodes formed in the detection region and electrically insulated from one another; wiring electrodes formed in the wiring region and electrically connected to the plurality of the detection electrodes for transmitting a detection signal; a first shield electrode formed on an outer periphery of the front surface of the substrate for shielding the detection electrodes and the wiring electrodes against external noise; a first insulating layer formed on the wiring electrodes and the first shield electrode; and a second shield electrode formed on an upper surface of the first insulating layer so as to cover the wiring region and the first shield electrode, the first insulating layer having a first through hole formed therein, and the second shield electrode being electrically connected to the first shield electrode via the first through hole.
