A touch panel

A touch panel (T), characterized by comprising:

• at least one surface layer (1) made of a rigid and transparent material;
• at least one light source (2);
• at least one image sensor (3);
• at least a first fiber optic bundle (5a) which comprises a plurality of fiber optic cables, a tips of which is positioned facing to the light source (2) and other tips of which is positioned facing to the said surface layer (1), and which transmits the light obtained from the light source (2) to the surface layer (1);
• at least a second fiber optic bundle (5b) which comprises a plurality of fiber optic cables, a tips of which is paired with at least one pixel of the image sensor (3) and other tips of which is positioned facing to the said surface layer (1), and which transmits the image received from the surface layer (1) to the image sensor (3);
• at least one control unit which analyzes the image captured by the image sensor (3) using image processing techniques so as to identify a position of at least one object which contacts to the surface layer (1);
• and
• at least a first data link (6) for data communication between the image sensor (3) and the control unit
• at least one image source (4) that generates at least one image and transmits the image generated to the surface layer (1)
• characterized in that, either said image source (4) is interposed between the light source (2) and the first fiber optic bundle (5a), wherein a tips of the fiber optic cables in the first fiber optic bundle (5a) that faces to the light source (2) is paired with at least one pixel of the image source (4), or touch panel (T) further comprises at least a third fiber optic bundle (5c) comprising a plurality of fiber optic cables, a tips of which is paired with at least one pixel of the image source (4) and other tips of which is positioned facing to the said surface layer (1), and transmitting the image generated in the image source (4) to the surface layer (1).
