Abstract:
1. An input device including a first substrate; a plurality of first driving electrodes formed on a surface of the first substrate; an insulating layer; and a plurality of second driving electrodes formed above the plurality of first driving electrodes with the insulating layer therebetween, the plurality of second driving electrodes intersecting the plurality of first driving electrodes and being insulated from the plurality of first driving electrodes, the input device comprising: shielding layers provided on the surface of the first substrate where the plurality of first driving electrodes are formed, the shielding layers being located between adjacent first driving electrodes of the plurality of first driving electrodes; and detection electrodes provided on a surface where the plurality of second driving electrodes are formed, the detecting electrodes being located between adjacent second driving electrodes of the plurality of second driving electrodes, wherein driving signals are sequentially applied to the plurality of first driving electrodes and the plurality of second driving electrodes, and detection signals based on changes in electrostatic fields generated between electrodes are obtained from the detection electrodes.
