Abstract
A touch panel and a method of manufacturing the same, an electronic device are provided. The touch panel includes a bending area bent along a bending axis. It further includes: a plurality of first touch electrodes extending along a first direction; a plurality of second touch electrodes extending along a second direction; and a metal mesh pattern at least provided in the bending area. The metal mesh pattern includes a first metal mesh line extending along the first direction and connected with the first touch electrode in parallel. The second direction intersects with the first direction.
