15. A tactile sense presenting method for use in an information presenting device having a conductive layer and an insulating layer, which covers the conductive layer and is in contact with a part of a body of a user set to a ground potential, comprising the steps of:
-
applying an AC voltage to the conductive layer; detecting a position of the part of the body of the user on the insulating layer; and controlling an amplitude or frequency of the AC voltage applied to the conductive layer on the basis of the position of the part of the body of the user.

16. A tactile sense presenting method for use in an information presenting device having a conductive layer, an insulating layer, which covers the conductive layer and is in contact with a part of a body of a user set to a ground potential, and a display unit, which is arranged integrally with or separately from a stack structure including the conductive layer and the insulating layer and displays information, comprising the steps of:
-
applying an AC voltage to the conductive layer; detecting a position of the part of the body of the user on the insulating layer; and controlling an amplitude or frequency of the AC voltage applied to the conductive layer on the basis of the position of the part of the body of the user.

18. A program in an information presenting device including a conductive layer, an insulating layer, which covers the conductive layer and is in contact with a part of a body of a user set to a ground potential, and a display unit, which is arranged integrally with or separately from a stack structure including the conductive layer and the insulating layer and displays information, the program causing a computer to function as:
-
a portion for applying an AC voltage to the conductive layer; a portion for detecting a position of the part of the body of the user on the insulating layer; and a portion for controlling an amplitude or frequency of the AC voltage applied to the conductive layer on the basis of the position of the part of the body of the user.
