TOUCH PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18524248 titled 'TOUCH PANEL
Simplified Explanation
The touch panel described in the patent application includes pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix, signal lines, scan lines, first wirings, and second wirings. Part of the first and second wirings function as a pair of electrodes in a touch sensor, with each wiring having a stripe or mesh shape and being located between adjacent pixel electrodes.
- Pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix
- Signal lines and scan lines included
- First and second wirings extending parallel to signal and scan lines
- Part of first and second wirings function as touch sensor electrodes
- Wirings have stripe or mesh shape
- Located between adjacent pixel electrodes

Original Abstract Submitted
To provide a thin touch panel, a touch panel having a simple structure, a touch panel which can be easily incorporated into an electronic device, or a touch panel with a small number of components. The touch panel includes pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix, a plurality of signal lines, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of first wirings extending in a direction parallel to the signal lines, and a plurality of second wirings extending in a direction parallel to the scan line. Part of the first wiring and part of the second wiring function as a pair of electrodes included in a touch sensor. The first wiring and the second wiring each have a stripe shape or form a mesh shape and are each provided between two adjacent pixel electrodes in a plan view.
