Abstract
A plurality of excitation electrodes, each disposed along a row direction, are provided on a back side of a transparent substrate, and a plurality of detection electrodes, each disposed along a column direction, a plurality of tactile sensation generation row electrodes, each disposed along the row direction, and a plurality of tactile sensation generation column electrodes, each disposed along the column direction, are provided on the front side of the transparent substrate. The front side of the transparent substrate is defined as an operation screen. The excitation electrodes and the tactile sensation generation row electrodes are formed independently of each other, and the detection electrodes and the tactile sensation generation column electrodes are formed independently of each other. In the configuration, the excitation electrodes among the electrodes are situated furthest from the operation screen.
