Abstract
A touch screen according to a disclosed embodiment may have a small cross capacitance between row-direction wiring and column-direction wiring, and a large change of the cross capacitance when the touch screen is touched by an indication body. A row-direction wiring includes a first portion and a second portion having a smaller wiring width than a wiring width of the first portion. A wiring width of the column-direction wiring is smaller than a length in a row direction of the second portion. The row-direction and column-direction wiring intersect in the second portion, and gaps are formed between the row-direction and column-direction wiring in planar view in an intersection portion. The touch screen further includes floating wiring that fills the gaps in planar view, and the floating wiring is formed in the same layer as the row-direction wiring or the column-direction wiring, and is insulated from both wirings.
