1. A capacitive touch panel, comprising:

  • a detection surface;

    a first electrode provided on the detection surface and including a plurality of electrodes arranged in parallel;

    a second electrode provided on the detection surface and including a plurality of electrodes arranged in parallel along a direction crossing the first electrode;

    a touch input detection section detecting a touch input on the detection surface made by a predetermined coordinate pointer in accordance with a change in an electrostatic capacitance between the first and second electrodes;

    a detection period setting section that sets a period for selecting the first or second electrode so as to set a substantial detection period; and

    a control section that controls the detection period set by the detection period setting section in accordance with a result of detection performed by the touch input detection section;

    wherein the control section sets the detection period for an electrode from which the touch input is detected, among the first and second electrodes, longer than the detection period set theretofore.
