Abstract

An input device includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes, a plurality of second transparent electrodes, coupling portions each electrically connecting two adjacent second transparent electrodes of the second transparent electrodes, and bridge portions each electrically connecting two adjacent first transparent electrodes of the first transparent electrodes. The first and second transparent electrodes are arranged in directions orthogonal to each other and are formed of a material containing conductive nanowires. The bridge portions each include a bridge wiring part, an insulating layer, and a buffer layer. The buffer layer is disposed between each of the coupling portions and the insulating layer. The buffer layer is formed of a light-transmissive, inorganic oxide-based material.
