Touch panel

Abstract

A touch panel with improved accuracy for detecting a touched position is provided. A touch panel 10 includes a substrate 18; a plurality of electrodes 24A, 24B provided on the substrate 18; a control unit (controller 16) that detects a touched position on the substrate 18; and a plurality of lead-out lines 22A, 22B that electrically connect the control unit and the electrodes 24A, 24B. At least a part of the lead-out lines 22A, 22B is arranged in an area on the substrate 18 where a touched position can be detected. The control unit performs self-capacitance sensing for transmitting a signal to each of the electrodes 24A, 24B thereby detecting a touched position, and mutual capacitance sensing for transmitting a signal to a plurality of pairs of electrodes 24A, 24B, each pair being composed of two of the electrodes, thereby detecting a touched position, so as to detect a touched position based on the touched position detected by the self-capacitance sensing and the touched position detected by the mutual capacitance sensing.
