Touch panel

A touch panel comprising:

• an upper substrate having insulating property;
• an upper conductive layer provided on a lower surface of the upper substrate;
• an intermediate layer provided on a lower surface of the upper conductive layer;
• an upper electrode provided on a lower surface of the intermediate layer;
• a lower conductive layer facing the upper electrode with a predetermined gap interposed between the lower conductive layer and the upper electrode;
• a lower electrode provided on an upper surface of the lower conductive layer;
• and
• a lower substrate provided on a lower surface of the lower conductive layer, the lower substrate having insulating property,
• wherein each of the upper electrode and the lower electrode contains 70 wt. % to 98 wt. % of conductive metal,
• wherein the intermediate layer contains a resin and 40 wt. % to 90 wt. % of carbon, and has a thickness ranging from 1 μm to 50 μm, and
• wherein the upper electrode entirely covers the lower surface of the intermediate layer.
