Patent ID: 8237670

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a first electrode plate comprising a first substrate, a first conductive layer disposed on a lower surface of the first substrate, and two first-electrodes disposed on opposite ends of the first conductive layer, a direction from one of the two first-electrodes across the first conductive layer to the other of the two first electrodes is defined as a first direction; a second electrode plate spaced from the first electrode plate and comprising a second substrate, a second conductive layer disposed on an upper surface of the second substrate, and two second-electrodes disposed on opposite ends of the second conductive layer, a direction from one of the two second-electrodes across the second conductive layer to the other of the two second-electrodes being defined as a second direction; and wherein at least one of the electrodes comprises a carbon nanotube layer, the first conductive layer comprises a first carbon nanotube film comprising a plurality of first carbon nanotubes, the second conductive layer comprises a second carbon nanotube film comprising a plurality of second carbon nanotubes, the plurality of first carbon nanotubes in the first conductive layer are arranged along the first direction, and the plurality of second carbon nanotubes in the second conductive layer are arranged along the second direction.
