Abstract — Carbon-nanotube (CNT) films on plastic are incorporated as the touch electrode in a four-wire resistive touch panel. Single-point actuation tests show superior mechanical performance to ITO touch electrodes, with no loss of device functionality up to 3 million actuations. Slidingstylus-pen tests reveal no loss of device linearity after 1 million stylus cycles. A CNT refractive index of ~1.55 leads to CNT touch panels with low reflection (
