FIG. 5 schematically illustrates capacities C1 and C3 between an observer'sfinger 50 and theelectrode 1X and a capacity C2 between the observer'sfinger 50 and theelectrode 2Y. Thetouch panel 20 of this embodiment detects a capacity difference of coupled capacities between theelectrodes touch panel 20 touched by the observer'sfinger 50. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 4 , a manufacturing method for thetouch panel 20 of this embodiment is described. - First, a first conductive film made of a transparent conductive material (e.g., ITO) is formed on the surface of the observer side of the
substrate 11. - A first mask for the electrode pattern is formed on the first conductive film by using, for example, a positive resist. Then, the first conductive film is etched by using the first mask as an etching mask to form the
electrode 2Y and thesecond portion 1 b of theelectrode 1X. - The first mask is removed, and the insulating
film 12 made of, for example, a negative resist, is formed on thesubstrate 11 and on theelectrode 2Y and thesecond portion 1 b of theelectrode 1X. In this step, theelectrode 2Y and thesecond portion 1 b of theelectrode 1X are covered with the insulatingfilm 12. - The
contact hole 12 a is formed in a necessary part of the insulatingfilm 12. A second conductive film made of a transparent conductive material (e.g., ITO) is formed on the insulatingfilm 12 and in thecontact hole 12 a. - A second mask for the electrode pattern is formed on the second conductive film by using, for example, a positive resist. Then, the second conductive film is etched by using the second mask as an etching mask to form the first portion 1 a of the
electrode 1X on the insulatingfilm 12. In this step, the first portion 1 a of the upper layer is electrically and mechanically connected to thesecond portion 1 b of the lower layer via thecontact hole 12 a. The first portion 1 a of the upper layer intersects the first portion 1 a of theelectrode 2Y of the lower layer. - Next, the second mask is removed, and the
protective film 13 made of, for example, a negative resist, is formed on the insulatingfilm 12 and on the first portion 1 a of theelectrode 1X, thereby forming a structure illustrated inFIGS. 1 to 4 . In this step, the first portion 1 a of theelectrode 1X is covered with theprotective film 13. - Formation of peripheral wiring line patterns can be inserted in an appropriate place among the steps.
- In a conventional capacitance coupling type touch panel, as illustrated in
FIGS. 9 to 11 , a plurality ofelectrodes 1X and a plurality ofelectrodes 2Y are formed on different conductive layers (lower and upper layers) via an insulatingfilm 12. In the case of this electrode structure, distortion occurs in aprotective film 13 formed on the insulatingfilm 12 and theelectrode 1X of the upper layer due to theelectrode 1X of the upper layer, and optical path lengths are different between the lower and upper layers with respect to a reflected light. Thus, a color difference is generated between theelectrode 2Y of the lower layer and theelectrode 1X of the upper layer, making electrode patterns of theelectrodes - On the other hand, in the capacitance coupling
type touch panel 20 of this embodiment, as illustrated inFIGS. 1 to 4 , theelectrode 1X includes the first portion 1 a formed on the layer different from that of theelectrode 2Y to intersect theelectrode 2Y, and thesecond portion 1 b formed on the same layer as that of theelectrode 2Y separately from theelectrode 2Y. The first portion 1 a is connected to thesecond portion 1 b via thecontact hole 12 a formed through the insulatingfilm 12 between the first portion 1 a and theelectrode 2Y. - In the case of this electrode structure, the
protective film 13 can be formed to be uniform, enabling suppression of distortion of theprotective film 13 and visualization of the electrode patterns caused by a color difference due to the distortion of theprotective film 13. As a result, deterioration of optical characteristics caused by visualization of the electrode patterns can be suppressed, and hence reduction in characteristics of the display device incorporating thetouch panel 20 can be suppressed. - Portions in which color differences are generated can be reduced to a minimum, in other words, to only the first portion 1 a of the
electrode 1X, and hence visualization of electrode patterns caused by a color difference generated due to an optical path difference can also be suppressed. As a result, deterioration of optical characteristics caused by visualization of the electrode patterns can be suppressed, and hence reduction in characteristics of the display device incorporating thetouch panel 20 can be suppressed. - When a defect occurs in the first portion 1 a (bridge portion) formed on the upper layer, the defect can be repaired by re-executing the step of forming the first portion 1 a, and deterioration of optical characteristics caused by visualization of the electrode patterns can be suppressed to improve processing performance.

protective film 13 and visualization of electrode patterns caused by a color difference due to an optical path difference can be suppressed. Thus, deterioration of optical characteristics caused by visualization of the electrode patterns can be suppressed, and reduction in characteristics of the display device incorporating thetouch panel 20 can be suppressed. - The above-mentioned embodiments have been directed to the display device with the touch panel, which includes the touch panel on the liquid crystal display panel as an example of the display panel.
