1. A touch panel comprising:

  • a first substrate comprising a plurality of first touch electrodes formed on a first base substrate, the first touch electrodes each having a first width, where the first touch electrodes are elongated along a first direction and arranged in parallel one next to the other so as to thereby be distributed along a second direction crossing the first direction; and

    a second substrate comprising a plurality of second touch electrodes formed on a second base substrate that is in spaced apart facing relationship with the first base substrate, where the second touch electrodes each have a second width narrower than the first width, and where the second touch electrodes are elongated primarily along the second direction and arranged in parallel one next to the other so as to thereby be distributed along the first direction, the respective narrower second widths of the respective second touch electrodes allowing development in each of the second touch electrodes of a respective and detectable plurality of different voltages between opposed terminal ends of the respective and elongated second electrode;

    a plurality of first wirings each respectively connected to only a first among respective first and second terminal ends of a respective one of the first touch electrodes; and

    respective pairs of second wirings, each pair having two wires that are respectively connected to the opposed terminal ends of a respective one of the narrower and elongated second electrodes.
