    Abstract: First to third electrode layers (1) are laminated. A dielectric (22) disposed between the second and third electrode layers can be elastically deformed by pressing force from the first electrode layer-side to reduce distance between the second and third electrode layers. The first electrode layer is composed of first electrodes (Rxc) along a first direction (X). The second electrode layer is composed of second electrodes (Txcf) along a second direction (Y) intersecting the first direction. The third electrode layer is composed of third electrodes (Rxf) along a third direction (X) intersecting the second direction. During position-detection, the second electrodes (Txcf) function as transmission-side position-detection electrodes and the first electrodes function as reception-side position detection electrodes to constitute a mutual-capacitance touch panel unit (31). During force-detection, the second electrodes function as transmission-side force-detection electrodes and the third electrodes function as reception-side force-detection electrodes to constitute a cross-point electrostatic-capacitance touch panel unit (32).

    Abstract: In a pressure sensor, a pressure-sensitive layer faces a first electrode pattern and a second electrode pattern with a space interposed therebetween. The first electrode pattern includes a plurality of first electrode sections, a first interconnecting section that interconnects the plurality of first electrode sections, and a first wiring section that extends from a first end of the first interconnecting section. The second electrode pattern includes a plurality of second electrode sections disposed alternately with the first electrode sections, a second interconnecting section that interconnects the plurality of second electrode sections, and a second wiring section that extends from a second end of the second interconnecting section. The second wiring section extends such that the resistance of the conduction path between an output terminal of the first wiring section and an output terminal of the second wiring section is substantially the same for any adjacent pairs of the first electrode sections and the second electrode sections when the first electrode section and the second electrode section conduct with each other via the pressure-sensitive layer.
