Abstract
In a flexible printed circuit (FPC) connection structure for a touch sensor, corrosion of an electrode terminal is prevented without reducing connection reliability. In a touch sensor, a tip of a first passivation layer and a tip of an FPC wiring are spaced apart from one another, and consequently an exposed portion, which is adjacent to a tipmost part and is not covered by the first passivation layer, is formed on a connection terminal. An FPC film includes a tip, which further extends from the FPC wiring and extends to a location at which it overlaps, in a plan view, the first passivation layer, and thereby a space is formed between the tip and the exposed portion. The touch sensor further includes an anti-rust material, which fills the space and thereby covers the exposed portion of the connection terminal.
