Abstract:
A capacitive sensor bonded to a panel having a flat-surface portion and a curved-surface portion includes a plurality of first transparent electrodes, a plurality of second transparent electrodes, a coupling member, and a bridge wiring member. The first transparent electrodes are arranged in a first direction. The second transparent electrodes are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. The coupling member is provided integrally with either the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes. The bridge wiring member is provided separately from the first transparent electrodes or the second transparent electrodes, to which the coupling member is not provided, in a portion where the bridge wiring member crosses the coupling member. A direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the curved-surface portion is different from a direction in which the coupling member extends in a portion bonded to the flat-surface portion.
