Abstract
A touch panel has an upper board having an upper conductive layer, a lower board having a lower conductive layer, a pair of upper electrodes along the periphery of the upper conductive layer and having an upper electrode lead, a pair of lower electrodes along the periphery of the lower conductive layer and having a lower electrode lead, and a slit formed at the upper and lower conductive layers. One of the upper electrodes is formed along a side of the upper conductive layer, and the other of the upper electrodes is formed in a substantially U shape surrounding a whole periphery excluding the upper electrode lead. One of the lower electrodes is formed in a direction orthogonal to the side of the upper conductive layer, and the other of the lower electrodes is formed in a substantially U shape surrounding a whole periphery excluding the lower electrode lead.
