Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch panel, and more particularly to a touch panel having a switch function. [Prior Art] [0002] Ο 〇 [0003] Touch The Touchpad is the main input device for laptops. It is used to control the screen cursor and functions as a mouse. The first touchpad was invented by George E. Gerpheide and first integrated by Apple Computer in 1994 on PowerBook 5. ...0.0. Department, column, on the computer 'has gradually become the standard configuration of the notebook. Currently, the touch panel products on the forefront mainly include two technologies, one based on the principle of capacitance and the other based on the principle of resistance. The touch panel of the capacitor principle is converted into the movement of the cursor by the capacitance change between the finger and the touch panel of the touch panel, and the touch panel of the resistance principle is composed of a deformable resistive film and a fixed resistive film. The middle is separated by the air phase, and when the palm touches the touchpad, the upper resistive film is pressed to make a pen shape and is in contact with the lower layer and the resistive film, and the lower resistive film can sense the position of the finger, thereby controlling the movement of the cursor. Laptop manufacturers usually install a button switch equivalent to the left and right buttons of the mouse on the accessory of the touchpad. However, when using the computer, the user needs to control the touchpad with different fingers and press the button switch, which is inconvenient for operation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a touch panel that is easy to operate. [0005] A touch panel includes a touch panel, a base, an insulating layer fixed on a lower side of the touch panel, and a touch circuit board, and a switch 098124521 is fixed on the base.
