Thus, can utilize an electrostatic capacitance sensor 15 to import the indication information of multiple function owing to have the input media 8 of this electrostatic capacitance sensor 15, so,, can realize the miniaturization of mobile phone 1 thus even in multi-functional mobile phone 1, also need not to be provided with a plurality of sensors.In addition, though on display part 2 mobile human body 16 on a large scale not, also can utilize an electrostatic capacitance sensor 15 to import the indication information of difference in functionality, therefore can improve the operating performance of input media 8 with electrostatic capacitance sensor 15.
In addition, when detecting electrostatic capacitance by two common electrodes 9,10, owing to be judged as in the common electrode 9,10 that detects bigger electrostatic capacitance and detected electrostatic capacitance, so, both, also can import the indication information of expectation reliably just owing to the approaching of human body 16 causes detecting electrostatic capacitance in adjacent unplanned common electrode 9,10.
Next utilize Fig. 7 (a) and (b), (c) that second embodiment involved in the present invention is described.
Here, use identical label to describe for the structure identical with first embodiment, and detailed.
