TOUCH PANEL
First Claim
1. A touch panel, comprising:
- a panel substrate having flexibility, the panel substrate having a panel part and a protrusion part formed integrally with the panel part;
a plurality of electrode pads disposed on the panel part so as to be capable of detecting a touch location;
lead-out wiring lines disposed on the panel part and the protrusion part, the lead-out wiring lines being electrically connected with the electrode pads and externally outputting signals generated in the electrode pads from the protrusion part; and
a transparent protective layer for improving strength disposed on an operation screen side of a connection section between the panel part and the protrusion part.

Abstract
Provided is a touch panel having a panel substrate that has overall flexibility and that has a panel part, whereupon electrode pads are disposed, and a protrusion part, whereupon terminals are disposed, formed integrally with each other, obtaining a configuration whereby the connection section between the panel part and the protrusion part is not easily damaged. A touch panel (2) is provided with: a substrate (11) that has overall flexibility and that has a touch panel substrate part (11a) and a connection part (11b) formed integrally with each other; a plurality of electrode pads (21a, 22a) that are disposed upon the touch panel substrate part (11a); and lead-out wiring lines (24) that externally output, from the connection part (11b), signals generated by the electrode pads (21a, 22a). To improve strength, a protective layer (14) is disposed on the operation screen side of the connection section between the touch panel substrate part (11a) and the connection part (11b).
