Touch panel

A touch panel such that its electrodes can be easily designed and fabricated, horizontal and vertical equipotential lines having necessary and sufficient uniformity are formed in a resistive film. The touch panel (10) has a substrate (12), a rectangular resistive film (14) formed on the substrate (12), and electrode (16) along the four sides of the resistive film (14). The electrode (16) is composed of gaps (20) and divided electrodes (22). The divided electrodes (22) are lined along the sides of the resistive film (14). Both ends of a line of divided electrodes (22) along each side are connected to terminals (18). The divided electrodes (22) have the same shape and arranged repeatedly. The ratio of the length of the end divided electrodes (22) to that of the inner divided electrodes other than the end divided electrodes (22) is 0.1:1 to 0.5:1.
