Abstract:
Provided is a method for inspecting a touch panel with which method it is possible to perform an inspection with high accuracy and to allow an improvement in yield. A drive signal is supplied to either one of sensor electrodes (12) and an inspection electrode (142), a plurality of sense signals related to the respective sensor electrodes (12) are obtained from the other of the sensor electrodes and the inspection electrode, and conditions of the sensor electrodes (12) are determined according to the sense signals.
Abstract:
An input device having a row electrode and a column electrode made by patterning a meshed metallic layer by forming a dividing section on a metallic line constituting the meshed metallic layer can make areas of individual dividing sections of the metallic lines uniform, whereby uneven shading due to the patterned, meshed conductive layer is suppressed from appearing on a touch operation surface.In the input device having the row electrode and the column electrode made by patterning the meshed metallic layer by forming the dividing section on the metallic line constituting the meshed metallic layer, at an intersecting section where metallic lines Mw2 constituting a meshed conductive layer Lp2 intersects an ideal contour Sp2 of a meshed column electrode, the direction for dividing the metallic lines at the intersecting section is set to the direction matching the direction of width of the metallic lines such that the area of the dividing section traversing the metallic line is minimal.

Abstract:
An input device having a row electrode and a column electrode made by patterning a meshed metallic layer by forming a dividing section on a metallic line constituting the meshed metallic layer can suppress variability in areas of individual dividing sections formed on the metallic lines, whereby uneven shading due to the patterned, meshed conductive layer is suppressed from appearing on a touch operation surface.In the input device having the row electrode and the column electrode made by patterning the meshed metallic layer by forming the dividing section on the metallic line constituting the meshed metallic layer, a mesh side section intersecting with an ideal contour Sp2 of the column electrode (meshed electrode) corresponding to one side of a mesh in the metallic line Mw2 is divided by a dividing section Rs that does not overlap with an intersection Mcp of the metallic lines to form an actual contour of the column electrode.
