Patent ID: 8817224

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an input device, the method comprising: providing a roll of a single-layer flexible transparent base sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; forming a transparent electrode pattern and a wiring layer on the first surface of the flexible transparent base sheet, the transparent electrode pattern being disposed in a transparent input region and the wiring layer extending from an end of the transparent electrode pattern into a decorative region surrounding the transparent input region, and forming a decorative layer pattern on the second surface of the transparent base sheet in the decorative region, while conveying the transparent base sheet through a roll-to-roll processing; dividing the transparent base sheet having the transparent electrode pattern and the decorative layer pattern formed thereon into individual units each for the input device; and bonding a transparent panel to the second surface of each of the individual units, with an optically clear adhesive layer interposed therebetween, a surface of the transparent panel opposite to a surface facing the optically clear adhesive layer serving as an operation surface.
