A resistive film type touch screen coupled with a mold structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided to improve durability and reliability by applying a keypad function, which is applied to the mold structure of a capacitive mode, to a 4 or 5-line resistive film type touch screen, and offer a touch window combining a display window function and a touch detection function by preventing incorrect operation occurring in the capacitive mode. A film forming a transparent conductive film(12) on a touch window region of a transparent film or the transparent film including the transparent conductive film is used as an upper panel(11) of a touch panel. A mold structure(13) is coupled with the transparent film by molding molten polymer to the region excluding a predetermined region, which includes the touch window region, of the transparent film. The transparent film coupled with the mold structure is coupled with a lower panel(14) of the touch panel. An FPC(Flexible Printed Circuit)(19) is connected to a plurality of wiring electrodes(16) included in the touch panel. The FPC is connected to the wiring electrodes formed to a front side or a side part of the lower panel, or the electrodes dispensed to a rear side of the lower panel from the wiring electrodes.
