The present invention provides a touch panel used in a display device. The touch panel of the present invention is configured to display images and to receive as well as to process instructions inputted by user's touches. A display substrate partially overlaps with an image driving circuit substrate of the touch panel. A touch sensing circuit is disposed on the inner side of the display substrate. A touch sensing processor is disposed on the inner side of a touch sensing circuit and is also electrically coupled to the touch sensing circuit. Consequently, the thickness of the touch panel as well as the overall thickness of the display device is reduced.

Touch panel

A sensing structure is provided. The sensing structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a sensing unit, and a flexible printed circuit (FPC). The sensing unit is disposed on the first substrate and adapted to generate a signal when the sensing unit is touched. The FPC has a first end and a second end. The first end includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is disposed on the first substrate and electrically connected to the sensing unit, and the second connecting portion connects to the second substrate.
