Touch panel including mesh having a trapezoid shape

A touch panel comprising:

• a sensing cell configured to sense a change in capacitance;
• and
• a sensing line configured to transmit the change in the capacitance sensed by the sensing cell to an external circuit,
• wherein:
• the sensing cell includes a plurality of pattern lines electrically connected to each other through a plurality of connecting patterns arranged along a length of each of the plurality of pattern lines;
• the sensing line includes a plurality of pattern lines electrically separated from each other;
• two adjacent pattern lines in the sensing cell includes, at each of a plurality of locations along the length of each of the plurality of pattern lines:
• a first line including a portion having a minimum distance between the two adjacent pattern lines;
• and
• a second line extending such that a distance between the two adjacent pattern lines is farther from the first line;
• each of two adjacent pattern lines in the sensing line includes:
• a third line including a portion having a minimum distance between the two adjacent pattern lines;
• and
• a fourth line extending such that a distance between the two adjacent pattern lines is farther from the third line;
• one end of each of the plurality of connecting patterns is connected to the first line of one of the two adjacent pattern lines, and the other end of each of the plurality of connecting patterns is connected to the first line of the other one of the two adjacent pattern lines;
• and
• the plurality of connecting patterns are arranged at some, but not all, of the locations along the length of each of the plurality of pattern lines in which the first lines of two adjacent pattern lines are arranged at the minimum distance between the two adjacent pattern lines.
