Touch panel
First Claim
1. A touch panel comprising a first flat substrate having a first conductive layer on a lower main surface and a second flat substrate having a second conductive layer on an upper main surface, the first and second conductive layers facing each other with a certain space in between,wherein the first flat substrate includes a conductive-layer forming member onto which the first conductive layer is formed and a supporting member which supports the conductive-layer forming member, wherein each of the second flat substrate and the conductive-layer forming member is formed from an amorphous polyolefine base resin sheet, wherein a difference between linear expansion coefficients of the supporting member and one of the second flat substrate and the conductive-layer forming member is within 1×

Abstract
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a touch panel which has an excellent contact level between a undercoat layer and a substrate on which the undercoat layer is formed. The secondary object of the present invention to provide a touch panel which is lightweight and provided with a wide operating temperature and impact resistance. The primary object is achieved by providing a metal layer between a conductive-layer forming member and an undercoat layer, the metal layer being formed from a single metal element or an alloy of metal elements. The secondary object of the present invention is achieved by using an amorphous polyolefine base resin sheet for forming conductive-layer forming members of the touch and display substrates and using a material for forming a supporting member so that a difference between linear expansion coefficients of the supporting member and each of the conductive-layer forming members is kept within 1×10−5/° C.
