Abstract
A touch panel system includes a capacitive touch panel and a controller that controls the touch panel. The touch panel includes drive electrodes and floating island electrodes located on a first substrate and position detection electrodes, pressure detection electrodes, and heat detection electrodes located on a second substrate. The drive electrode overlaps at least part of the heat detection electrode and at least part of the pressure detection electrode, and the floating island electrode overlaps at least part of the position detection electrode in plan view. The controller provides a drive signal to the drive electrodes and the heat detection electrodes and corrects a pressure detection signal obtained from each of the pressure detection electrodes by using a heat detection signal obtained from a change in a coupling capacitance between the pressure detection electrode and the heat detection electrode.
