Patent ID: 8243030

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a first conductive layer comprising a plurality of first conductive lines spaced from each other; a second conductive layer separated from the first conductive layer and comprising a plurality of second conductive lines spaced from each other; a capacitive sensing member being directly connected to the first conductive lines; and at least one of the first and second conductive lines are carbon nanotube wires, and each carbon nanotube wire comprising a plurality of successively oriented carbon nanotube segments joined end-to-end by van der Waals attractive force therebetween, each of the plurality of successively oriented carbon nanotube segment comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes parallel to each other and combined by van der Waals attractive force therebetween; wherein the plurality of second conductive lines is located above the plurality of first conductive lines forming a plurality of capacitive sensing nodes.
