Patent ID: 8237680

Claim:
A touch panel, comprising: a first electrode plate comprising a first substrate and a first conductive layer located on the first substrate; and a second electrode plate comprising a second substrate and a second conductive layer located on the second substrate, wherein the first or the second conductive layers comprises at least one carbon nanotube composite layer comprising a stand-alone, self-adhesive carbon nanotube film, wherein the carbon nanotube film comprises a plurality of carbon nanotube segments joined end-to-end by van der Waals attractive force therebetween; each of the plurality of carbon nanotube segments comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes parallel to each other and joined by van der Waals attractive force therebetween; the plurality of carbon nanotube segments are successively oriented and integrated together by van der Waals attractive force therebetween to form the carbon nanotube film.
