Patent ID: 8654092

Claim:
A touch panel incorporating a display device, having a first insulating substrate and a second insulating substrate facing each other, and identifying the location of a touch on a surface of said second insulating substrate based on a prescribed voltage supplied when said surface is touched, the touch panel comprising: a plurality of first sensor lines formed on said first insulating substrate to extend in a first direction; a plurality of second sensor lines formed on said first insulating substrate to extend in a second direction crossing said first direction; a first wiring formed to extend in said first direction and including a plurality of gate lines; a second wiring formed to extend in said second direction and including a plurality of data lines; a plurality of display element sections formed for respective regions where said plurality of gate lines and said plurality of data lines cross each other; and a location-identifying circuit that identifies the location of a touch on a surface of said second insulating substrate based on a prescribed voltage supplied, when the surface is touched, to said first and second sensor lines connected to said display element sections at the location that is touched, wherein said second insulating substrate has a pressing electrode provided with said prescribed voltage, wherein at least either said first sensor line or said second sensor line is disposed over any one of wirings included in said first wiring or said second wiring in such manner as to overlap at least partially in the width direction with said any one of the wirings included in said first wiring or said second wiring when observed in a plan view, wherein at least either said first sensor line or said second sensor line is constituted of separate conductive bodies, wherein said separate conductive bodies are electrically connected to each other through a connecting body, and wherein said pressing electrode touches said connecting body when a surface of said second insulating substrate is pressed, to supply said prescribed voltage to said separate conductive bodies.
