The present invention relates to a touch panel. The touch panel, according to the present invention, comprises: a first transparent substrate divided into an active area and a non-active area located around the active area; a sensing pattern part that includes first sensing cells arranged in the active area of the transparent substrate in the longitudinal direction, a second transparent substrate provided on the first sensing cells, and second sensing cells arranged on the second transparent substrate in the lateral direction; and first sensing lines and second sensing lines provided in the non-active area of the first transparent substrate to connect the first sensing cells and the second sensing cells to an external driving circuit, respectively, wherein an extended transparent substrate extending from the second transparent substrate along the interconnection wires of the second sensing cells is formed in the non-active area of the first transparent substrate. According to the present invention, among the sensing lines for connecting the sensing pattern having the two-layer structure with the external driving circuit, the sensing lines corresponding to the sensing pattern located on the upper layer are provided on the separate extended upper layer, as opposed to the related art, which makes it possible to omit a separate process for overcoming a step, thereby reducing a metal patterning process and ensuring a competitive price accordingly. |
