In a touch sensor panelfor inputting a position by a touch operation to a predetermined region, a plurality of drive lines DL disposed in one direction and a plurality of sense patterns SL disposed in another direction intersect each other and an electrode size of an electrode of a sense pattern (sense electrode pattern) in one direction disposed between adjacent intersections is switched between at least two electrode sizes of large and small. The configuration enables power consumption to be small while maintaining detection precision of a touched position.

Touch sensor panel, touch panel system and electronic equipment

A touch panel system () includes: a touch panel () for outputting an output signal in accordance with a presence or absence of an indicator that is in contact with or close to a detection surface P; and an indicator position detection unit () for detecting a position of the indicator within the detection surface (P) based on the output signal outputted by the touch panel (). The indicator position detection unit () detects the position of the indicator within the detection surface (P) by use of a detection reference that is set for each predetermined position within the detection surface (P).
