Abstract:
A capacitive sensor bonded to a panel having a flat-surface portion and a curved-surface portion includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes, a plurality of second transparent electrodes, a coupling member, and a bridge wiring member. The first transparent electrodes are arranged in a first direction. The second transparent electrodes are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. The coupling member is provided integrally with either the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes. The bridge wiring member is provided separately from the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes, to which the coupling member is not provided, in a portion where the bridge wiring member crosses the coupling member. A direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the curved-surface portion is different from a direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the flat-surface portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A capacitive sensor for a panel having a flat-surface portion and a curved-surface portion to which the capacitor sensor is bonded, the capacitive sensor comprising:\n a substrate having a detection area defined thereon; a plurality of first electrodes having light transparency and provided in the detection area, the plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and being arranged side by side in a second direction crossing the first direction, each first electrode including a plurality of first transparent electrodes arranged in the first direction and electrically connected to one another; a plurality of second electrodes having light transparency and provided in the detection area, the plurality of second electrodes extending in the second direction and being arranged side by side in the first direction, each second electrode including a plurality of second transparent electrodes arranged in the second direction and electrically connected to one another; a coupling member provided to two adjacent first transparent electrodes among the plurality of first transparent electrodes or two adjacent second transparent electrodes among the plurality of second transparent electrodes, the coupling member being integrally formed with the two adjacent first or second transparent electrodes so as to electrically connect the two adjacent first or second transparent electrodes; and a bridge wiring member provided to the two adjacent first transparent electrodes or the two adjacent second transparent electrodes to which the coupling member is not provided, the bridge wiring member being formed independently of the two adjacent first or second transparent electrodes and crossing over the coupling member so as to electrically connect the two adjacent first transparent electrodes or the two adjacent second transparent electrodes to which the bridge wiring member is provided, wherein the capacitive sensor has a first area corresponding to the flat-surface portion of the panel and a second area corresponding to the curved-surface portion of the panel, and wherein the coupling member is provided to the two adjacent first or second transparent electrodes in the plurality of first and second electrodes such that a direction in which the coupling member extends in the second area is different from a direction in which the coupling member extends in the first area.
