Touch Panel
First Claim
1. A touch panel comprising:
- a first substrate;
first to fourth conductive layers over the first substrate; and
a liquid crystal layer,wherein the fourth conductive layer is apart from the third conductive layer on a same plane,wherein the liquid crystal layer is over the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer,wherein the second conductive layer is over the liquid crystal layer,wherein the first conductive layer is over the second conductive layer,wherein the first conductive layer is configured to block visible light and has a mesh shape comprising a plurality of openings,wherein the second conductive layer is configured to transmit visible light and has a portion overlapping with the first conductive layer, a portion overlapping with the third conductive layer, and a portion overlapping with the fourth conductive layer,wherein the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer are each configured to reflect visible light,wherein the third conductive layer comprises a portion overlapping with one of the plurality of openings,wherein the fourth conductive layer comprises a portion overlapping with another one of the plurality of openings, andwherein part of the first conductive layer is between the third conductive layer and the fourth conductive layer in a plan view.

Abstract
To provide a thin touch panel, a touch panel with high visibility, a lightweight touch panel, or a touch panel with low power consumption. A pair of conductive layers included in a capacitive touch sensor have a mesh shape including a plurality of openings. Furthermore, a material blocking visible light is provided to overlap with a region between two display elements in a plan view; thus, a light-blocking layer can be obtained. Furthermore, the pair of conductive layers included in the touch sensor are provided between a pair of substrates included in the touch panel, and a conductive layer capable of supplying a constant potential is provided between a circuit which drives a display element and the pair of conductive layers.
