Touch panel

A touch panel comprising:

• an upper electrode substrate including an upper conductive layer;
• a lower electrode substrate including a lower conductive layer;
• a first electrode and a second electrode respectively provided at first and second ends of the upper conductive layer in a first direction for causing an electric potential distribution in the first direction;
• a third electrode and a fourth electrode respectively provided at third and fourth ends of the lower conductive layer in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction for causing an electric potential distribution in the second direction;
• a fifth electrode provided at the first end of the upper conductive layer;
• and
• a first resistor portion formed at the upper electrode substrate at the first end of the upper conductive layer,
• wherein the first resistor portion is made of a material same as that of the upper conductive layer,
• wherein the first resistor portion electrically connects the first electrode and the fifth electrode,
• wherein the first resistor portion is formed to be separated into plural resistor blocks which are connected in series, and
• wherein the plural resistor blocks of the first resistor portion are aligned along the first electrode in the second direction.
