Planar element, and touch switch
First Claim
1. A planar body, in a capacitive touch switch, comprising a mesh-like electrode formed on one side of a substrate by intersecting multiple conductor lines, wherein the mesh-like electrode is separated into multiple conductive areas aligned at certain intervals and multiple non-conductive areas each disposed between two adjacent conductive areas disposed at certain intervals,each non-conductive area is provided as an area in which insulation is ensured by forming multiple first cutting portions that cut the conductor lines on the conductor lines, and each non-conductive area insulates the conductive areas by the first cutting portions, and the conductive areas include second cutting portions that cut the conductor lines without interfering with the conductivity between ends of each conductive area.

Abstract
The present invention provides a touch switch having two ITO-free electrode layers that are bonded together, the touch switch having good visibility, and a planar body that forms such a touch switch. The planar body includes a mesh-like electrode formed in a mesh shape by multiple conductor lines L on one side of a substrate, in which the mesh-like electrode is separated into multiple conductive areas disposed at intervals, and non-conductive areas each disposed between each of the conductive areas; each non-conductive area has multiple cutting portions that cut the conductor lines L, and each non-conductive area insulates between the adjacent conductive areas by the cutting portions.
