Abstract
A touch panel and a peripheral circuit thereof are provided. Each bonding pad of the peripheral circuit includes a first conductive layer, a first protective layer, a second conductive layer, and a second protective layer sequentially arranged on a substrate from bottom to top. A covered area of the second conductive layer provided by the second protective layer is increased to cover a portion of the second conductive layer located above a junction area between the first protective layer and a terminal part of the first conductive layer, thereby increasing the reliability of the bonding pads.
