Abstract
A method for manufacturing a touch panel, comprising the steps of adhering an upper substrate and a lower substrate to each other, said upper substrate being made of a soft film member with an upper resistance film, said lower substrate being made of a hard plate with a lower resistance film; and subsequently cutting off said upper substrate and said lower substrate.
Claims22
A method for manufacturing a touch panel, comprising the steps of:
- adhering an upper substrate and a lower substrate with each other, said upper substrate being made of a soft film member with an upper resistance film, said lower substrate being made of a hard plate with a lower resistance film;
- and
- subsequently cutting off said upper substrate and said lower substrate.
A touch panel comprising:
- an upper substrate having an upper resistance film;
- a lower substrate having a lower resistance film;
- and
- an output printed board for extracting output signals;
- wherein said lower substrate has lower wiring electrode leading wires and upper wiring electrode leading wires, said lower wiring electrode leading wires being electrically connected to said lower resistance film and extending to a leader line connection region of an outer circumferential end portion of an input region, said upper wiring electrode leading wires being electrically connected to said upper resistance film and extending to said leader line connection region;
- wherein said lower wiring electrode leading wires and said upper wiring electrode leading wires are connected to said output printed board in said leader line connection region;
- and
- wherein a portion of said upper substrate corresponding to said leader line connection region is removed to follow a shape of an installation portion of said output printed board.
