Resistive touch panel and a touch panel device

The invention relates to a resistance film type touch panel and a touch panel apparatus. To reduce damage due to a contact between electrodes in a resistance film type touch panel having a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes, which are extending in the directions intersecting each other. [Solution] A resistance film type touch panel (2) is provided with a plurality of lower electrodes (Y1, Y2, and so on), and a plurality of upper electrodes (X1, X2, and so on). The lower electrode (Y1) extends in the Y direction. The upper electrode (X1) extends in the X direction intersecting the Y direction, and faces the lower electrodes. Each of the lower electrodes has a conductive layer (47) and protection layers (41), and has a silver layer (31) and a carbon layer (33) extending in the Y direction. The protection layers (41) are formed to extend in the Y direction on both the side end portions (47a) of the conductive layer (47), said end portions being in the width direction of the conductive layer.
