Touch panel

A touch panel comprising:

• a first transparent substrate provided with a transparent conductive film on one surface thereof;
• a second transparent substrate provided with a transparent conductive film on one surface thereof, said first substrate and said second substrate being fixed in parallel with each other so that said transparent conductive films are opposed to each other;
• and
• a supporting member to regulate a distance between said opposite substrates;
• wherein said transparent conductive films of said first and second transparent substrates are brought into contact with each other to be electrically connected when said first transparent substrate is bent by being locally pressed on an opposite surface to the surface of said first substrate on which said transparent conductive film is provided, and
• wherein, in at least one of said first and second transparent substrates, a first four-layered transparent dielectric film is formed between a surface of the corresponding transparent substrate on a side of which the transparent conductive film is provided and said transparent conductive film, a second four-layered transparent dielectric film is formed on an opposite surface to the surface on which the transparent conductive film is formed.
