Abstract
Provided is a capacitive touch switch panel on which it is possible to form a transparent sensor electrode having high quality design shape and reduced reflection of visible light, and which moreover has excellent appearance and ample environmental resistance. This capacitive touch switch panelis provided with a glass substrate, and with a sensor partformed on this glass substrate. The sensor parthas a sensor electrode, this sensor electrodecomprising an Al thin film formed by sputtering or vacuum deposition into a switch configuration on the glass substrateat the opposite surface sidefrom a touch surface, the sensor parthaving an intermediate layer between the glass substrateand at least a portion of the Al thin film. This intermediate layer comprises a thin film that includes at least one metal selected from Cr, Mo, and W.
