Abstract
A touchscreen pattern includes detection electrodes, drive electrodes, floating electrodes, and wide detection electrodes. The detection electrodes extend along a first direction and are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The drive electrodes extend along the second direction and are arranged along the first direction to overlap the detection electrodes in a plan view. The drive electrodes and the detection electrodes form capacitors. The floating electrodes are arranged adjacent to the detection electrodes, respectively, in the plan view and to overlap the drive electrodes in the plan view. The floating electrodes and the adjacent detection electrodes form capacitors. The floating electrodes and the overlapping drive electrodes form capacitors. The wide detection electrodes are arranged at the outermost with respect to the second direction. The wide detection electrodes have a width larger than a width of the detection electrodes closer to the middle.
