A touch panel comprises a pair of glass substrates 11, 12 each having a transparent conducting film 13, 14 formed on its one side surface. The glass substrates disposed with their respective transparent conducting films 13, 14 is faced each other and bonded together around their peripheries by a seal 19 having spacers 23′ of insulating material incorporated therein, in which lead-out patterns 17e-17d intersect the seal 19 prior to extending out of the touch panel. The sphere diameter of the spacers 23′ is selected to be approximately equal to the particle size of silver particles 21 contained in the conducting paste, whereby the spacers may dig in between the conducting material particles to thereby reduce the difference in height between the bumps and dips on those portions of the seal intersecting the lead-out patterns and the remaining portions, respectively.
A touch panel comprising a pair of glass substrates each having a transparent conducting film formed on its one side surface, said glass substrates disposed with their respective transparent conducting films facing each other and bonded together around their peripheries by a seal having spacers of insulating material incorporated therein, in which lead-out patterns extended out of the touch panel from electrodes provided on said transparent conducting films intersect said seal;
