Coordinate detection apparatus and display apparatus

A coordinate detection apparatus, comprising:

• a plurality of electrode arrays each including
• a first electrode that extends in a first direction and is gradually larger in dimension, with respect to the first direction, in parallel with a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and
• a second electrode that extends in the first direction, is opposed to the first electrode in the second direction, and is gradually smaller in dimension, with respect to the first direction, in parallel with the second direction, the plurality of electrode arrays each including a pair of the first electrode and the second electrode that are arranged in the second direction and being configured to have a capacitance varied depending on proximity of a detection target;
• and
• a processing unit configured to
• calculate
• a first value being a total sum of capacitance values of the first electrodes of the plurality of electrode arrays,
• a second value being a total sum of capacitance values of the second electrodes of the plurality of electrode arrays, and
• a third value being a sum of the first value and the second value, and
• detect a first position coordinate of the detection target along the first direction in accordance with a ratio of a difference between the first value and the second value to the third value.

A display apparatus, comprising:
