A detection device includes a substrate, first electrodes, second electrodes, and a conductor. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first electrodes are provided in a display area of the substrate and detect the position of an object being in contact with or in proximity to the first surface side of the substrate or pressure of the object being in contact with the first surface side. The second electrodes are provided along at least one side of the outer periphery of the display area. The conductor is provided on the second surface side of the substrate apart from the substrate and generates an electrostatic capacitor between the conductor and the second electrodes.
