1. An input device comprising:

  • a pressure sensitive detecting portion that includes a lower detection layer and an upper detection layer facing each other with a gap therebetween, and detects a contact position between the lower detection layer and the upper detection layer on the basis of a variation in resistance value; and

    a capacitance-type detecting portion that includes a plurality of X driving electrodes and a plurality of Y driving electrodes which face each other with an insulating layer interposed therebetween and extend in directions orthogonal to each other, and detects a position where an indicator approaches on the basis of a variation in the capacitance between the electrodes,wherein the capacitance-type detecting portion is formed on the pressure sensitive detecting portion, and a flexible cover sheet is formed on the capacitance-type detecting portion,the upper detection layer is formed of a flexible resin sheet,the X driving electrodes, the Y driving electrodes, and the insulating layer are formed of flexible resin sheets, andthe upper detection layer and the X driving electrodes or the Y driving electrodes provided at a lower side are arranged in the vertical direction without a metal layer interposed therebetween.
