Patent ID: 7439466

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a first substrate having optical transparency and including: a first face; a first conductive layer formed on the first face; and a plurality of first electrodes, each of the first electrodes being formed to extend between two edges of the first conductive layer and each of the first electrodes having a first electrode lead section; a second substrate having optical transparency and including: a second face; a second conductive layer formed on the second face and arranged to face the first conductive layer to form a gap between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; and a plurality of second electrodes, each of the second electrodes being formed to extend between two edges of the second conductive layer and formed to extend in a direction that is orthogonal to a line connected by the two edges of the first conductive layer between which a first electrode extends and each of the second electrodes having a second electrode lead section; and a plurality of insulating grooves provided in at least any one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer and provided between at least one of (i) two first electrode lead sections and (ii) two second electrode lead sections.
