Abstract:
1. An input device, comprising: a plurality of input detectors comprising a first input detector and a second input detector which are adjacent to each other, wherein the first input detector comprises: wherein the second input detector comprises: wherein the input device further comprises: a storage configured to store at least (i) information representing that the first input detector is associated with the first signal line and the second signal line and (ii) information representing that the second input detector is associated with the first signal line and the third signal line; and an output-value receiver coupled to the first signal line, the second signal line, and the third signal line, the output-value receiver being configured to, upon receipt of the output value output from the first signal line and one of the output value output from the second signal line and the output value output from the third signal line, receive, based on the information stored in the storage, an input to one of the first input detector and the second input detector which one is associated with the first signal line and one of the second signal line and the third signal line which have output the output values received by the output-value receiver, wherein the first input detector and the second input detector are arranged in one of a state in which the first electrode unit of the first input detector and the first electrode unit of the second input detector are adjacent to each other and a state in which the second electrode unit of the first input detector and the third electrode unit of the second input detector are adjacent to each other, wherein the first input detector and the second input detector are arranged in a first direction, wherein the plurality of input detectors comprise a third input detector that differs from the first input detector and the second input detector, and the third input detector comprises: wherein the first input detector and the third input detector are arranged in a second direction that intersects the first direction, wherein, when the first input detector and the second input detector are arranged in the state in which the first electrode unit of the first input detector and the first electrode unit of the second input detector are adjacent to each other, the first input detector and the third input detector are arranged in a state in which the second electrode unit of the first input detector and the second electrode unit of the third input detector are adjacent to each other, and wherein, when the first input detector and the second input detector are arranged in the state in which the second electrode unit of the first input detector and the third electrode unit of the second input detector are adjacent to each other, the first input detector and the third input detector are arranged in a state in which the first electrode unit of the first input detector and the fourth electrode unit of the third input detector are adjacent to each other.
