<p>A touch panel and a method for manufacturing the touch panel. The touch panel comprises a substrate (110) provided with a visible region (110A) and non-visible regions (110B); a composite layer (160) arranged on the non-visible regions (110B), the composite layer (160) comprising a color layer (130') and a light-shielding layer (140'); a sensing layer (170) arranged on the visible region (110A) and extending to part of the non-visible region (110B), the sensing layer (170) coming into direct contact with the visible region (110A) of the substrate (110); and a signal conductor (180) arranged on the composite layer (160). This structure effectively avoids the risk of fracture of the sensing layer on the lateral side of the composite layer.</p>
