TOUCH PANEL

摘要

Provided is a capacitance type touch panel in which the decrease in display quality that occurs in a display device when the transparent electrode pattern is visually recognized can be mitigated. The touch panel (1) includes a metal oxide layer (5) disposed over first transparent electrodes (3) and second transparent electrodes (4). The metal oxide layer (5) is formed from a coating composition obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing one or more metal alkoxides of the formula M(OR)n (M represents a metal, R represents a C1-5 alkyl, and n indicates the valence of the M) in an organic solvent in the presence of a metal salt of the formula M2(X)m (M2 represents a metal, X represents a chlorine atom, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, a sufamic acid, a sulfonic acid, acetoacetic acid, acetylacetonato, or a basic salt of any of these, and m indicates the valence of the M2) and adding a precipitation inhibitor thereto. The metal alkoxides preferably are a mixture of a titanium alkoxide and either a silicon alkoxide or a partial condensate thereof.
