Abstract

A capacitive input device includes: an input device substrate having a position detection electrode on a second surface side which is reverse to a first surface side on which an input operation is performed; and a shielding film which has a shield electrode layer on a base film and is adhered to the second surface side of the input device substrate by an adhesive layer.

Claims

1. A capacitive input device comprising:

an input device substrate having a position detection electrode on a second surface side which is reverse to a first surface side on which an input operation is performed; and

a shielding film which has a shield electrode layer on a base film and is adhered to the second surface side of the input device substrate by an adhesive layer;

a flexible wiring board which partially overlaps with the second surface side of the input device substrate, wherein the shielding film includes a main body portion overlapping with an input region where the position detection electrode is formed in the input device substrate;

a protruding portion protruding from the main body portion toward a position overlapping with the flexible wiring board;

a portion of the shield electrode layer formed in the protruding portion is electrically connected to the flexible wiring board, and

wherein a plurality of position detection mounting terminals which are electrically connected to the flexible wiring board are provided on the second surface side of the input device substrate, and

the shielding film has the protruding portions on both sides with a region where the plurality of the position detection mounting terminals are provided interposed therebetween.
