Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a contact detecting device including: a contact responding section configured to produce an electric change in response to an object to be detected coming into contact with or proximity to a detecting surface; and a contact driving scanning section configured to scan application of driving voltage to the contact responding section in one direction within the detecting surface, and control output of the electric change in time series, wherein the contact driving scanning section performs a plurality of scans of different regions of the contact responding section in parallel with each other, and outputs a plurality of the electric changes in parallel with each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A contact detecting device comprising:\n a contact responding section configured to produce an electric change in response to an object to be detected coming into contact with or proximity to a detecting surface, the contact responding section including a plurality of driving electrodes extending in a first direction; a driving scanning section configured to scan application of driving voltage to individual ones of the plurality of driving electrodes in a second direction or a direction opposite to the second direction; a plurality of detecting lines extending in the second direction such that each of the plurality of detecting lines intersects the driving electrodes; and a detecting section configured to detect occurrence of the electric change from a voltage change in at least one of the plurality of detecting lines to identify a position of the occurrence, wherein the driving scanning section performs the scanning so that two or more driving electrodes are driven simultaneously, the two or more driving electrodes include at least one first drive electrode and at least one second drive electrode that are driven simultaneously. a first voltage is applied to the at least one first drive electrode, a second voltage, which is different from the first voltage, is applied to the at least one second drive electrode that is other than the at least one first drive electrode, and the detecting sections identifies the position in which the object to be detected is in contact or in proximity on a basis of a pattern of the voltage change of the detecting lines, the pattern of the voltage change occurring according to a difference in the manner of the intersecting between the detecting lines and the two or more electrodes.
