Abstract
A wiring substrate to be used in a variety of electronic apparatuses, and an input device, such as an optically transparent touch panel, using the same wiring substrate, and a method of manufacturing the same input device are disclosed. The invention simplifies a construction of the wiring substrate, reduces the number of manufacturing steps of the substrate, and makes all the connectors of the substrate in a single-sheet structure. The electrical and mechanical connections of those connectors to other connecting means can be thus highly reliable. Plural wiring patternsand, and connectorsA,A,A andA are formed on a first principal surface of wiring substrate. Substrateincludes flexible bending section P—P, and when substrateis bend along bending section P—P, some connectors such asA,A are placed on a second principal surface opposite to the first one, so that wiring substrateis formed.
