A display panel comprising a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes
formed on a surface of the substrate and extending from a first portion
of the substrate, and a plurality of second electrodes formed on the
surface of the substrate and extending from a second portion of the
substrate. The first electrodes and the second electrodes are alternately
arranged in rows. The first electrodes include a shorted segment in the
first portion of the substrate that couples ends of the first electrodes.
The shorted segment includes an electrode formation region and electrode
void regions. The electrode void regions are formed in a predetermined
pattern in the electrode formation region.
