1. A proximity detection device comprising:
- a display device which has a display image surface in which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged in a matrix shape; and
a proximity operation detecting device in which a plurality of detection electrodes for proximity operation detection are arranged to form an operation surface at a position superposed on the display image surface,wherein each of the detection electrodes has;
a pair of extending portions extending in a first direction based on overall shape of each extending portion; and
a pair of connector portions that extends in a second direction different from the first direction, each of the pair of connector portions electrically connecting an end of one of the pair of extending portions to an end of the other one of pair of extending portions,wherein a dummy pattern portion is disposed surrounded by the pair of extending portions and the pair of connector portions, the dummy pattern portion having a matrix structure and extending in the first direction based on overall shape of the dummy pattern,wherein each of the extending portions has a plurality of openings,wherein the extending portions are divided by the plurality of openings that are arranged by a first pitch, andwherein the first pitch is different from an arrangement pitch in the second direction of the pixel electrodes.
