<p>A method of manufacturing a touch panel wherein a glass substrate is coated with a resistive layer (50); a pattern of conductive edge electrodes (54) and a conductive wire trace pattern (56, 58, 64, 68) are applied to the resistive layer (50); the conductive edge electrodes (54) are electrically isolated from the conductive wire traces(56, 58, 64, 68); and a protective insulative border layer is applied over the edge electrodes (54) and the wire traces (56, 58, 64, 68). A touch panel is provided which includes a glass substrate (52) coated with a resistive layer (50) on one surface thereof; a pattern of edge electrodes (54) on the resistive layer (50); a wire trace pattern (56, 58, 64, 68) on the resistive layer (50); a trench in the resistive layer (50) between the wire trace pattern (56, 58, 64, 68) and the edge electrode pattern (54); and a protective insulative border layer over the edge electrode pattern (54) and the wire traces (56, 58, 64, 68).</p> |
