Abstract

See full text

A capacitance detection device includes at least one detection electrode, a shield electrode disposed in close vicinity of the detection electrode, an AC signal source that supplies an AC signal to the shield electrode, a detection circuit that detects capacitance between a physical object in close vicinity of the detection electrode and the detection electrode on the basis of a detection signal output from the detection electrode and the AC signal output from the AC signal source, and a phase adjustment circuit provided between the AC signal source and the shield electrode. The phase adjustment circuit advances the phase of the AC signal output from the AC signal source.
