Patent ID: 7023429

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: opposing first and second glass substrates; substantially rectangular first and second transparent conductive films formed opposite on the opposed surfaces of said first and second glass substrates; a pair of first electrodes and a pair of second electrodes formed on said first and second transparent conductive films of said first and second glass substrates along their single pairs of opposite marginal edges, and first connecting portions each formed at one end of one of said pair of first electrodes, the direction in which said first electrodes are opposed being substantially at right angles to the direction in which said second electrodes are opposed; a pair of first lead-out patterns each having at one end a pair of second connecting portions formed on said second glass substrate which do not overlap said first connecting portions in their thick-wise direction and are adjacent but separated therefrom by gaps in the direction parallel to the substrate surface, said pair of first lead-out patterns each having at the other end a pair of first terminals formed adjacent one marginal edge of said second glass substrate; a pair of second lead-out patterns extended from said pair of second electrodes on said second glass substrate, extended end portions of said pair of second lead-out patterns being formed as a pair of second terminals adjacent said one marginal edge of said second glass substrate; and a pair bridges of conductive paste extending from the top surfaces of said first connecting portions to the top surfaces of said second connecting portions across said gaps; and lands formed by transparent conductive films on the opposing surfaces of said first and second glass substrates, wherein said first and second connecting portions are located on said lands.
