- Examples of the contact position detection method include a resistance film method and a capacitance method.
- the resistance film method two substrates having transparent electrodes provided on the surface are arranged apart from each other so that the transparent electrodes face each other. That is, there is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the thickness because two substrates are required.
- the transparent electrode provided on this substrate and the transparent electrode provided on the other substrate are short-circuited to detect the pressed position. Therefore, there is a problem that the substrate on the side pressed by the finger is easily worn and the durability of the touch panel is lowered.

- the coating composition contains a titanium alkoxide component
- the following two production methods are effective for reducing the viscosity change.
- the production method of 1) is effective because when titanium alkoxide is mixed with glycols, heat is generated, so transesterification occurs between the alkoxide group of titanium alkoxide and the glycols, resulting in hydrolysis / condensation reactions. This is considered to be stabilized.
- a silicon alkoxide is preliminarily hydrolyzed in the presence of a metal salt, and then mixed with a titanium alkoxide solution mixed with glycols to perform a condensation reaction to obtain a coating composition.
- a coating composition having a small viscosity change can be obtained.
- the production method of 2) is effective for the following reasons. That is, the hydrolysis reaction of silicon alkoxide is performed at a high rate, but the subsequent condensation reaction is slower than titanium alkoxide. Therefore, when titanium alkoxide is added quickly after finishing the hydrolysis reaction, the silanol group of the hydrolyzed silicon alkoxide and the titanium alkoxide react uniformly. Thereby, it is thought that the hydrolyzed silicon alkoxide stabilizes the condensation reactivity of titanium alkoxide.
- a method for mixing silicon alkoxide hydrolyzed in advance and titanium alkoxide has already been attempted.
