Patent ID: 8847893

Claim:
A touch screen panel comprising: first and second substrates facing each other, the first and second substrates being joined together by a sealant; a plurality of first sensing patterns coupled to one another along a first direction on a side of the first substrate facing the second substrate, comprising sensing patterns coupled to one another in rows along the first direction, and pad portions coupled to the rows; a plurality of second sensing pattern coupled to one another along a second direction on a side of the second substrate facing the first substrate, comprising sensing patterns coupled to one another in columns along the second direction, and pad portions coupled to the columns; a plurality of first dummy patterns directly on the side of the first substrate between the first sensing patterns and corresponding to the second sensing patterns, the first dummy patterns being spaced from each other along the first direction and overlapped with the second sensing patterns that are spaced from each other along the first direction; a plurality of second dummy patterns directly on the side of the second substrate between the second sensing patterns and corresponding to the first sensing patterns, the second dummy patterns being spaced from each other along the second direction and overlapped with the first sensing patterns that are spaced from each other along the second direction; an insulating layer between the first and second substrates, the insulating layer comprising a filler material and a first insulating layer for directly covering the first sensing patterns and the first dummy patterns, wherein the filler material is disposed directly between the first insulating layer and the plurality of second sensing patterns and the plurality of second dummy patterns; and a plurality of metal patterns electrically coupled to pad portions of the plurality of first sensing patterns and the plurality of second sensing patterns, the metal patterns electrically coupling the first sensing patterns and the second sensing patterns to respective position detecting lines, wherein the sealant is directly between pad portions of the plurality of second sensing patterns and the plurality of metal patterns electrically coupled to pad portions of the plurality of first sensing patterns, and wherein the sealant comprises a conductive material through which pad portions of the second sensing patterns are electrically coupled to the metal patterns.
