Abstract
A first detection signal creation unit has detection nodes connected to detection electrodes in one-to-one correspondence. The first detection signal creation unit supplies charge from each detection node through a second wire to the relevant detection electrode so that a voltage at the relevant detection node vibrates according to an alternating-current voltage, and creates first detection signals matching the supplied charge. First filters are provided in first paths, each of which branches from an alternating-current output node to a first wire. A phase difference signal creation unit creates a phase difference signal matching the phase difference between the alternating-current voltage and one of the first detection signals.
