<p>A touch panel for a 5-line touch screen or a capacitive touch screen, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. More particularly, a touch panel in which an equipotential forming electrode may be formed in a simple closed-loop pattern in order to reduce a screen dead zone and expand an active region by eliminating the linearity distortion of equipotential lines in around the equipotential forming electrode of the touch panel, and also may be applicable to a touch screen of a small device such as a mobile phone, and may reduce a process error rate and improve a productivity and electrical requirements such as terminal resistance and the like, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The equipotential forming electrode may be patterned using a much more conductive material than a material of a transparent conductive film. The equipotential forming electrode may form a closed loop in a linear pattern, a square-zigzagged pattern, a triangular saw pattern, or a wave pattern. The thickness, the width, and the electrical conductivity of the pattern may be adjusted so that resistance between signal connection terminals may be greater than some ohms. An auxiliary electrode may be further provided to improve the potential characteristic of the electrode formed in the closed loop.</p> |
