Touch panel and manufacturing method thereof

A touch panel, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a patterned transparent conductive layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the patterned transparent conductive layer comprises a plurality of first sensing pads and a plurality of second sensing pads, wherein each of the first sensing pads and each of the second sensing pads adjacent thereto have a first gap therebetween and the patterned transparent conductive layer comprises a first thickness;
• and
• a color compensation layer disposed on the substrate and in the first gap and contacting the patterned transparent conductive layer, wherein the color compensation layer comprises a second thickness less than or equal to the first thickness.

A manufacturing method of a touch panel, comprising:

• providing a substrate;
• forming a transparent conductive layer on the substrate;
• forming a patterned photoresist on the transparent conductive layer, wherein the patterned photoresist comprises an opening for exposing the transparent conductive layer;
• etching the transparent conductive layer through the opening for forming a patterned transparent conductive layer, wherein the patterned transparent conductive layer comprises a plurality of first sensing pads and a plurality of second sensing pads, wherein each of the first sensing pads and each of the second sensing pads adjacent thereto have a first gap therebetween and a width of the first gap is larger than a width of the opening;
• covering a color compensation layer on the patterned photoresist and the exposed substrate;
• and
• performing a lift off process for removing the patterned photoresist and the color compensation layer on the patterned photoresist.
