Resistive type touch panel
First Claim
1. A resistive type touch panel comprising:
- first and second substrates aligned to be facing each other and having transparent conductive layers on facing surfaces of the first and second substrates; and
a plurality of spacers, each of a polygonal column shape, disposed between the first and second substrates.

Abstract
A resistive type touch panel includes a first substrate aligned to be facing a second substrate. The first substrate includes a first conductive layer and the second substrate includes a second conductive layer. A plurality of spacers each having a polygonal column shape are disposed between the first and second substrates in predetermined positions. The geometry and center-to-center spacing of the spacers minimizes detection of a distributed activation force applied to one of the first and second substrate while still providing sensitivity to detect concentrated application of an activation force to one of the first and second substrates.

18. A resistive type touch panel comprising:
-
a first substrate having a first conductive layer;
a second substrate having a second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer is spaced away from second conductive layer and is deformable to selectively contact the second conductive layer; and
