1. A touch panel structure for increasing an active area of a touch panel, comprising:

  • a resistive surface for constructing an inner portion of the panel taking the shape of a rectangle with four sides and four corners;

    a plurality of electrode segments arranged in a predetermined length and at a constant interval in the resistive surface adjacent to the four sides of the panel to be symmetric with each other disposed at corresponding positions;

    a plurality of compensation electrode segments, including first compensation electrode segments and second compensation electrode segments, arranged in a predetermined length and at a constant interval between the plurality of electrode segments and the sides of the panel to be symmetric with each other disposed at corresponding positions, said first and second said compensation electrode segments being arranged in different lines; and

    compensation patterns formed through connection of the electrode segments disposed at any side of the panel with the compensation electrode segments adjacent thereto, wherein first said compensation patterns connect said eletrode segments with said first compensation electrode segments, and second said compensation patterns connect said electrode segments with said first compensation segments and said second compensation electrode segments.
