Abstract
An electrostatic capacitive coupling-type touch panel is provided which interacts not only with a finger-based input but also with a touch using non-conductive input means. The touch panel includes coordinate detection electrodes for detecting XY position coordinates and transparent Z electrodes. The Z electrodes are arranged over the coordinate detection electrodes at certain intervals with spacers disposed therebetween. An elastic layer that is deformed along the shape of the spacers by compressive force resulting from touch pressing presses the Z electrodes.
