Touch panel and manufacturing method for the same

A touch panel comprising:

• an upper substrate having an upper conductive layer formed at a lower surface thereof;
• a lower substrate having a lower conductive layer formed on a top surface thereof, the lower conductive layer is provided opposite the upper conductive layer with a space in between;
• an elastic layer formed at a top surface of the lower conductive layer;
• a plurality of conductive wires disposed in a manner oriented in the vertical direction and at a distance from the upper conductive layer, a part of the conductive wires being buried in the elastic layer;
• and
• a gel layer formed between the upper conductive layer and the elastic layer,
• wherein the gel layer has a coefficient of elasticity in the range of 102 to 103 dyne/cm2.

A manufacturing method of a touch panel comprising the steps of:

• preparing a lower substrate having a lower conductive layer formed at a top surface thereof;
• coating on the top surface of the lower conductive layer an elastic layer having conductive wires dispersed;
• forming a magnetic field in the elastic layer;
• curing the elastic layer in a state in which the conductive wires are vertically oriented upright by using the magnetic field;
• preparing an upper substrate having an upper conductive layer formed at a lower surface thereof;
• and
• forming a gel layer extending from a top surface of the elastic layer to a bottom surface of the upper conductive layer.
