Patent ID: 8704796

Claim:
An electrostatic capacitance type touch panel comprising: a substrate; a plurality of X electrodes which are formed over the substrate, the plurality of X electrodes extending in a second direction and being arranged in a first direction which intersects with the second direction; and a plurality of Y electrodes which are formed over the substrate, the plurality of Y electrodes extending in the first direction while intersecting with the X electrodes and being arranged in the second direction; a drive voltage being supplied to the plurality of Y electrodes from one side of the plurality of Y electrodes, wherein lead lines are connected alternately to one and an other end portions of the plurality of Y electrodes at first and second sides of the substrate, respectively, the respective lead lines are formed outside an effective touch region, and are connected to terminals which are formed on a third side of the substrate and are formed corresponding to the respective lead lines, inspection pads which are connected with the Y electrodes are formed alternately at the one and the other end portions of the respective Y electrodes at the second and first sides of the substrate, respectively, on the side where the corresponding lead lines are not connected to the respective Y electrodes, at least one of the plurality of inspection pads is formed to overlap with at least two of the lead lines in a region where the lead lines are formed outside the effective touch region, a shield electrode is provided between the lead lines and the respective inspection pads, and a voltage equal to the drive voltage supplied to the Y electrodes is supplied to the shield electrode.
