Abstract
A touch panel, a display apparatus, and a method of manufacturing the touch panel. The touch panel includes a substrate, sense patterns disposed on the substrate and including a mesh type metal grid, and a transparent conductive layer patterned to correspond to each of the sense patterns and disposed to cover the metal grid.
Claims19
A touch panel, comprising:
- a substrate;
- sense patterns disposed on the substrate and comprising mesh type metal grids, the metal grids comprising at least three metal lines in parallel with each other;
- and
- a transparent conductive layer respectively corresponding to each of the sense patterns and disposed to cover the metal grids and completely cover vacant spaces between the at least three metal lines,
- wherein each of the at least three metal lines has a curved surface shape in cross-section.
