According to an aspect, a display device with a touch detection function includes a plurality of drive electrodes that face a plurality of pixel electrodes in an orthogonal direction to the surface of the substrate, and extend in a direction parallel to the direction in which a plurality of signal lines extend. The display device with a touch detection function also includes a scan driving unit that applies a touch drive signal to a signal line that faces, in an overlapping manner in the orthogonal direction, a drive electrode to which the touch drive signal is applied.
