Abstract: An electrode member includes a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern. In each of the first electrode pattern and the second electrode pattern, first end portion wires of the first thin metal wires form a pair across the insulation gap, and first end surfaces of the paired first end portion wires are located so as to include portions that face each other with a predetermined distance therebetween in a direction that intersects a first direction. In each of the first electrode pattern and the second electrode pattern, second end portion wires of the second thin metal wires form a pair across the insulation gap, and second end surfaces of the paired second end portion wires are located so as to include portions that face each other with a predetermined distance therebetween in a direction that intersects a second direction.

Abstract: An input apparatus includes a plurality of electrodes spaced apart from each other, a signal processing unit configured to output an input signal depending on a change in a capacitance of each electrode, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an operation object comes in a proximity of at least one of electrodes based on input signals output from the signal processing unit. The determination unit makes a determination such that in a case where one of the input signals is greater than or equal to a first threshold value and an integral value of another of the plurality of input signals in a predetermined integration period is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, it is determined that an operation object has come in a proximity of an electrode corresponding to the one of the input signals.

Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a diaphragm on a silicon substrate and a plurality of piezoelectric element areas that change in resistance according the distortion of the diaphragm. The plurality of piezoelectric element areas of the pressure sensor include a first piezoelectric element area, a second piezoelectric element area, a third piezoelectric element area, and a fourth piezoelectric element area. The diaphragm has a maximum deflection area whose stress becomes 80% or more of a maximum stress when distorted by a predetermined pressure. The first piezoelectric element area, the second piezoelectric element area, the third piezoelectric element area, and the fourth piezoelectric element area are disposed in the maximum deflection area.

Abstract: A transparent electrode member includes a translucent base, and first transparent electrodes that are arranged side by side in a first direction on a first surface of the base. An insulating layer does not overlap partial regions PR when viewed in the direction of the normal to the first surface. A rectangular region in which a part other than the conductive portion is composed of the partial regions over the entire part is defined as a first rectangular region, a rectangular region in which at least the insulating layer is contained is defined as a second rectangular region, and a relationship between an area Sa of the part other than the conductive portion in the first rectangular region and an area Sb of a part other than the conductive portion in the second rectangular region satisfies Sa/Sb=1±0.3.

Abstract: In an input device capable of reliably detecting, when an operator brings an operating body close to or into contact with an operation plane, absolute position information irrespective of a contact area size, third electrode arrays are disposed closer to the operation plane relative to second electrode arrays in a normal direction of the operation plane, the second electrode arrays have a portion protruding from the corresponding third electrode arrays when viewed in the normal direction, and assuming that a change amount of electrostatic capacitance between first and third electrode arrays occurred by an operation of the operating body is denoted by ΔC1 and a change amount of electrostatic capacitance between the first and second electrode arrays occurred by an operation of the operating body is denoted by ΔC2, a position of the operating body in the normal direction is calculated based on a ratio ΔC1/ΔC2.

Abstract: A capacitive sensor has first electrodes, a second electrode, and a third electrode, which are disposed at places where a manipulating body that is part of a human body such as a finger is detected. The capacitive sensor also has a capacitance detecting means and a deciding means. The deciding means identifies the number of manipulating bodies and directions (positions) according to the capacitances of the first electrodes, second electrode, and third electrode.
