1. A capacitive touch panel, comprising:
- a substrate, having a surface;
a raised pattern layer formed directly on a first portion of the surface of the substrate, the raised pattern layer having a bottom surface, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a surrounding edge connected between the top surface and the bottom surface;
a first electrode formed directly on the top surface of the pattern layer; and
a second electrode formed directly on a second portion of the surface of the substrate adjacent to the raised pattern layer so that a capacitance is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode;
wherein the second electrode and the first electrode are disposed at different heights on the substrate and separated by the raised pattern layer for preventing conduction between the first and second electrodes and reducing of a seam between the first and second electrodes when viewing from a top.

Abstract
A seamless capacitive touch panel includes a substrate, a pattern layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The pattern layer is formed on the substrate. The first electrode is formed on the pattern layer. The second electrode is formed on the substrate. The first electrode and the second electrode are separated by the pattern layer for preventing conduction between the first and second electrodes.
