Touch panel substrate with floating electrode pattern

A capacitive touch panel substrate for use as one of a pair of substrates included in a display panel, the touch panel substrate comprising:

• a substrate;
• a black matrix formed over the substrate in a grid pattern to correspond to respective pixels;
• a plurality of first transmissive electrodes arranged over the substrate in a first direction and electrically connected to each other;
• a plurality of second transmissive electrodes arranged over the substrate in a second direction that intersects with the first direction and electrically connected to each other;
• and
• transmissive patterns formed between the first transmissive electrodes and the second transmissive electrodes,
• wherein edges of the first transmissive electrodes are positioned in an area coinciding with the black matrix when the touch panel substrate is viewed in a plan view,
• wherein edges of the second transmissive electrodes are positioned in an area coinciding with the black matrix when the touch panel substrate is viewed in a plan view, and
• wherein the transmissive patterns are formed such that edges of the transmissive patterns are positioned in an area coinciding with the black matrix when the touch panel substrate is viewed in a plan view, and the transmissive patterns are not electrically connected to the first transmissive electrodes or the second transmissive electrodes, and are electrically floating, wherein a transmittance of the transmissive patterns is equal to a transmittance of the first transmissive electrodes.
