Abstract
A sensor device includes: a sensor layer provided at a position facing a surface, of a substrate having an operation surface, opposite to the operation surface, and configured to detect a contacted position or a pressed position on the operation surface; and a gap layer located in a gap between the substrate and the sensor layer. The gap layer includes a bonding region bonding the substrate to the sensor layer, and a relaxation region relaxing stress applied from the substrate to the sensor layer.
