Patent ID: 7710406

Claim:
A touch panel comprising: a first substrate of optical transparency having: a first surface; a first conductive layer formed at the first surface; and first electrodes formed in a manner to extend from two opposite sides of the first conductive layer; a second substrate of optical transparency having: a second surface; a second conductive layer formed at the second surface in a manner to confront the first surface with a space; and second electrodes formed in a manner to extend from two opposite sides of the second conductive layer in a direction orthogonal to the two opposite sides of the first conductive layer at which first electrodes formed; a wiring substrate having: a third surface; a fourth surface; and three or more wiring patterns formed on at least one of the third surface and the fourth surface; and an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer connecting a terminal portion of at least one of the wiring patterns to at least one of the first electrodes and the second electrodes, wherein spaces are provided between adjacent wiring patterns at an end of the wiring patterns, and a slit or an aperture is disposed at each of the spaces of the wiring patterns.
