Abstract: Each of first electrode sections forming a transmission electrode includes a first main line and a plurality of first auxiliary lines. Each of second electrode sections forming a reception electrode includes a second main line and a plurality of second auxiliary lines. With the transmission and reception electrodes and overlapping each other, the first main line and the second main line intersect with each other at one point, and a cell region is unclosed. The cell region is surrounded by two or more types of thin wires selected from a group consisting of the first main line, the first auxiliary lines, the second main line, and the second auxiliary lines.

Abstract: A proximity sensor includes a conductor, a receiving electrode, and a first transmission electrode. The conductor has an upper surface. The receiving electrode is separate from the upper surface of the conductor in an upward direction and extends along a first direction. The first direction is orthogonal to the upward direction. The first transmission electrode is separate from the upper surface of the conductor in the upward direction and extends along the first direction. The first transmission electrode and the receiving electrode are aligned with each other in a second direction. The second direction is orthogonal to both the upward direction and the first direction. The first transmission electrode has an upper surface having a shape bulging in the upward direction in a cross section orthogonal to the first direction.
