DETECTION DEVICE AND DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A detection device capable of detecting an external proximity object, the detection device comprising:
- a substrate; and
a plurality of detection electrodes that extend in a plane parallel to a surface of the substrate, and that include a plurality of thin conductive wires each of which has a plurality of first thin wire pieces and second thin wire pieces made of a metal material and each formed by connecting a first end portion and a second end portion with a straight line, at least one of the first thin wire pieces and at least one of the second thin wire pieces being coupled to each other at a coupling portion such that the first thin wire pieces and the second thin wire pieces are electrically conducted with one another,wherein an angle formed between one of the first thin wire pieces extending in a first direction and one of the second thin wire pieces extending in a second direction different from the first direction, which are included in each of the thin conductive wires, is constant, anda distance between the first thin wire pieces of different thin conductive wires is not constant.

Abstract
A detection device is capable of detecting an external proximity object, and includes a substrate and a plurality of detection electrodes. The detection electrodes are each provided with a plurality of thin conductive wires having a plurality of first thin wire pieces and a plurality of second thin wire pieces which are electrically conducted with one another. Angles each of which is formed by an intersection between the first thin wire piece extending in a first direction and the second thin wire piece extending in a second direction different from the first direction included in the thin conductive wire, are constant, and a distance between the first thin wire pieces of different thin conductive wires is not constant.
