Display device

Abstract

The present invention provides a display device that can correctly detect the approach of an object to be detected. A display device includes, on a display substrate 1 having a display region R, a proximity sensor 40 arranged outside the display region R, and a terminal section 50 connected to the proximity sensor 40. The proximity sensor 40 includes a plurality of conductors 40a and 40b arranged so as to surround the periphery of the display region R while being spaced apart from each other. The plurality of conductors 40a and 40b are configured such that one ends thereof are connected to the terminal section 50, a predetermined voltage is applied thereto via the terminal section 50, and a capacitance is formed with an object to be detected. The proximity sensor 40 includes capacitance adding regions 401a and 401b that are provided in the vicinity of a gap portion D at which the plurality of conductors 40a and 40b are spaced apart from each other and that are adapted to compensate for the capacitance formed with the object to be detected in the gap portion D.
