Abstract
A touch panel includes a transparent substrate, a first pattern/layer on the transparent substrate, and an second pattern/layer on or under the first pattern/layer. The first pattern/layer includes first electrodes detecting a first coordinate value and first metal interconnections connecting the first electrodes to a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The second pattern/layer includes second electrodes detecting a second coordinate value and second metal interconnections connecting the second electrodes to the FPCB. The first and second metal interconnections extend on side and back surfaces of the transparent electrode. Therefore, the metal interconnections connect the first and second patterns/layers to the FPCB by being formed on the side and back surfaces of the transparent substrate, which reduces the length and/or width of the bezel (a non-active region).
