Patent ID: 8366286

Claim:
A light-transmissive input device comprising: a lower surface and an upper surface which are formed on a light-transmissive base material and are disposed at a vertical interval; a light-transmissive lower conductive layer which is formed on the lower surface; a lower wiring pattern which is made of a non-light-transmissive conductive material and is formed along a first side of the lower surface so as to be electrically connected to the lower conductive layer; a light-transmissive upper conductive layer which is formed on the upper surface; an upper wiring pattern which is made of a non-light-transmissive conductive material and is formed along a second side of the upper surface orthogonal to the first side so as to be electrically connected to the upper conductive layer; a lower shielding layer which is made of the same conductive material as the lower wiring pattern and is formed on the lower surface separately from the lower wiring pattern, the lower shielding layer vertically overlying the upper wiring pattern; an upper shielding layer which is formed of the same conductive material as the upper wiring pattern and is formed on the upper surface separately from the upper wiring pattern, the upper shielding layer vertically overlying the lower wiring pattern; and a cover layer which is formed over the upper surface, the cover layer including: a light-transmissive transmission area, and a non-light-transmissive, frame-shaped decorative area surrounding the transmission area, and the decorative area vertically overlying the lower shielding layer and the upper shielding layer.
