Patent ID: 7494358

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: an upper substrate having: on a bottom surface thereof, an upper conductive layer; a pair of upper electrodes; and upper electrode terminals, the pair of upper electrodes extending on left and right ends of the upper conductive layer, and upper electrode terminals being each connected to each of the pair of upper electrodes; a lower substrate having: on a top surface thereof, an lower conductive layer; a pair of lower electrodes; and lower electrode terminals, the lower conductive layer being confronted with the upper conductive layer with a predetermined spacing, the pair of lower electrodes extending on top and bottom ends of the lower conductive layer in a direction orthogonal to the pair of upper electrodes, and the lower electrode terminals being each connected to each of the pair of lower electrodes; and a wiring board including: a substrate portion having: a pair of upper wiring patterns on its top surface; and a pair of lower wiring patterns on its bottom surface, the upper wiring patterns being each connected to each of the upper electrode terminals, and the lower wiring patterns being each connected to each of the lower electrode terminals, an L-shaped upper cover sheet for covering the top surface of the substrate portion; and an L-shaped lower cover sheet for covering the bottom surface of the substrate portion, wherein the upper electrode terminals are disposed on a bottom of the upper substrate, the lower electrode terminals are disposed on a bottom of the lower substrate, the bottom of the lower substrate being confronted with the bottom of the upper substrate, when the upper substrate is seen from the front, the upper electrode terminals are adjacent to each other, the lower electrode terminals are adjacent to each other, and the upper electrode terminals and the lower electrode terminals are aligned in line, at least part of a top surface of the upper wiring patterns is covered with the upper cover sheet, and at least part of a bottom surface of the lower wiring patterns is covered with the lower cover sheet.
