Abstract
A display device includes, on a display substrate having a display region, a proximity sensor arranged outside the display region, and a terminal section connected to the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor includes a plurality of conductors arranged so as to surround the periphery of the display region while being spaced apart from each other. The plurality of conductors are configured such that one ends thereof are connected to the terminal section, a predetermined voltage is applied thereto via the terminal section, and a capacitance is formed with an object to be detected. The proximity sensor includes capacitance adding regions that are provided in the vicinity of a gap portion at which the plurality of conductors are spaced apart from each other and that are adapted to compensate for the capacitance formed with the object to be detected in the gap portion.
