Abstract
Provided is a touch panel configured to minimize electrode disconnection caused by swelling of the insulating layer during the production process. The touch panel is equipped with: an insulating substrate; first island-shaped electrodes () disposed along a first direction; second island-shaped electrodes () disposed along a second direction intersecting the first direction; a connecting member () for connecting together the first island-shaped electrodes (); an insulating film () formed covering a portion of the connecting member (); and a relay electrode () for connecting together the second island-shaped electrodes () over the insulating film (). The relay electrode (), in a section thereof that overlaps the connecting member () in a plan view, is narrower in width, in a direction perpendicular to the second direction, than the width of the insulating film (). A pair of edges () and () of the insulating film () is covered by the first island-shaped electrode (), the second island-shaped electrode (), or the relay electrode ().
