Detection device

Abstract

A detection device is provided and including a first detector and a second detector each configured to detect that an object is in contact therewith or in proximity thereto; a signal processor configured to perform signal processing on a detection signal output from the first detector and the second detector; and a selector configured to select one of the first detector and the second detector, and couple the selected one of the first detector and the second detector to the signal processor, wherein the first detector or the second detector is configured to perform self-capacitance detection, the signal processor comprises a self-drive signal transmitter configured to output a self-drive signal for performing the self-capacitance detection, and the selector is configured to output the self-drive signal to a detection electrode of the selected one of the first detector and the second detector, and output the detection signal output from the detection electrode of the selected one of the first detector and the second detector to the signal processor.
