Claim:
1. A capacitive touch panel, comprising: a plurality of scanning electrodes arranged in a first direction; a plurality of detecting electrodes arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction; a scanning circuit portion for dividing one detection period, in which a drive voltage is input to one scanning electrode of the plurality of scanning electrodes, into n sub detection periods, where n≧2, and inputting the drive voltage sequentially to the one scanning electrode in the sub detection periods 1 to n; a capacitance detection circuit portion which detects a capacitance detection signal of each detecting electrode in a group of groups 1 to n, at the corresponding sub detection periods in the sub detection periods 1 to n; and a control circuit portion for calculating coordinates of a touch position based on the capacitance detection signal, wherein the plurality of detecting electrodes are divided into the groups 1 to n so that at least one of adjacent detecting electrodes is included in both of a first group and a second group as a shared electrode of both the first group and the second group, wherein the first group includes a detecting electrode which is not included in the second group, wherein the second group includes a detecting electrode which is not included in the first group, wherein a first detection period when the scanning circuit portion inputs the drive voltage to a first scanning electrode which is one of the plurality of scanning electrodes includes a first sub detection period and a second sub detection period, wherein, in the first sub detection period, only the detecting electrodes in the first group detect the drive voltage inputted to the first scanning electrode and the detecting electrodes in the second group other than the shared electrode do not detect the drive voltage, and wherein, in the second sub detection period, only the detecting electrodes in the second group detect the drive voltage inputted to the first scanning electrode and the detecting electrodes in the first group other than the shared electrode do not detect the drive voltage.
