TOUCHSCREEN
First Claim
1. A touch panel comprising:
- a substrate;
a plurality of X electrodes that extend above the substrate in a first direction;
a plurality of Y electrodes that extend above the substrate in the second direction so as to intersect the X electrodes; and
pedestal layers that are formed at respective intersections between the plurality of X electrodes and the plurality of Y electrodes,wherein the Y electrode includes an intersection portion intersecting the X electrode and an electrode portion formed in the same layer as the X electrode so as to be separated from the X electrode,wherein the X electrode includes an intersection portion intersecting the Y electrode and an electrode portion formed in the same layer as the Y electrode so as to be separated from the Y electrode,wherein the intersection portion of Y electrode is formed under the pedestal layer,wherein a part of the intersection portion of X electrode is formed on the pedestal layer and both ends of the intersection portion of X electrode are electrically connected to adjacent electrode portions of the X electrodes, andwherein a planar shape of the pedestal layer viewed from a direction perpendicular to the substrate is more rounded than that of the intersection portion of the X electrode,wherein the intersection portion of X electrodes has a width in the second direction,wherein the intersection portion of Y electrodes has a width in the first direction, andwherein the width of the intersection portion of Y electrodes is wider than that of the intersection portion of the X electrodes.

Abstract
A touchscreen includes a plurality of X electrodes extending in a first direction and arranged in parallel in a second direction, a plurality of Y electrodes extending in the second direction so as to intersect the X electrodes and arranged in parallel in the first direction, and pedestal layers formed at respective intersections between the plurality of X electrodes and the plurality of Y electrodes, wherein an intersection portion of each Y electrode is formed under the pedestal layer, wherein a part of an intersection portion of each X electrode is formed on the pedestal layer and both ends thereof are electrically connected to adjacent electrode portions of the X electrodes, and wherein a profile of a portion of the pedestal layer intersecting the intersection portion of the X electrode has a nonlinear shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the substrate.
