Abstract

A touch panel including a substrate, first electrodes, second electrodes, first wires, second wires and a means for shortening a gap between the second electrodes in a third direction is provided. The first electrodes are arranged sequentially in a first direction. Each first electrode has openings arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The second electrodes are located in the openings. Each first electrode and the second electrodes surrounded by the first electrode constitute a sensing unit. The first wires and the second wires connect the first electrodes and the second electrodes to a driving circuit. The means for shortening the gap between the second electrodes in the third direction renders a ratio of the gap between the second electrodes in the third direction to that in the second direction to be smaller than 1:3.4, where the third direction intersects either the first direction or the second direction.
