Touch panel with touch pads

[0017]Contrary to the conventional touch panel utiliting two pieces of conductive transparent substrate, the present invention directly covers a single layer transparent electrode, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), on a transparent substrate. According to isolating predetermined position on the transparent electrode, independent touch blocks are capable of outputting a signal to a control unit when touched (triggered). Therefore, the touched block will be detected. There are several embodiments to describe the present invention below.

[0018]Referring to FIGS. 1A & 1B, FIG. 1A illustrates schematically, at 10, a touch panel. FIG. 1B illustrates schematically partial touch panel in FIG. 1A. The touch panel 10 includes a transparent substrate 110, a transparent electrode 120, a plurality of first conductive lines and a second conductive line. The transparent substrate 110 covered with a transparent electrode 120 has a display region 110A. The transparent electrode 120 has a plurality of firs
