Abstract

According to an aspect, an input detection device includes: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate, the second substrate including a main surface having an area smaller than an area of a main surface of the first substrate; and a height difference portion disposed above the first substrate. An electrode layer is disposed on the main surface of the second substrate opposite to the first substrate and on a side surface of the second substrate constituting the height difference portion.

Claims (19)

1. An input detection device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate, the second substrate including a main surface having an area smaller than an area of a main surface of the first substrate; and

a height difference portion disposed above the first substrate,

wherein an electrode layer is disposed on the main surface of the second substrate at an opposite side to the first substrate, and on a side surface of the second substrate constituting the height difference portion,

wherein the side surface of the second substrate includes an inclined surface, and the electrode layer is disposed on the main surface of the second substrate and on the inclined surface of the side surface of the second substrate as a same layer,

wherein the inclined surface includes a curved surface, and

wherein the electrode layer is disposed on a steep part of the inclined surface having the curved surface of a concave portion.

2. The input detection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a terminal group arranged on the first substrate; and

a conductive body that electrically couples the electrode layer and the terminal group,

wherein the conductive body is disposed at least on the electrode layer that is disposed on the inclined surface.

3. The input detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the conductive body is conductive paste including a metal component.

4. The input detection device according to claim 2 , further comprising a sealing member that seals a portion between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the sealing member is disposed at least at a position where the sealing member overlaps with the electrode layer disposed on the inclined surface in the height difference portion in a planer view.

5. The input detection device according to claim 2 , wherein a display function layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

6. The input detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the electrode layer includes a plurality of divided electrode patterns, and the width of the electrode pattern on the inclined surface is narrower than the width of the electrode pattern on the main surface of the second substrate.

7. The input detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the electrode layer disposed on the main surface of the second substrate is an input detection electrode.

8. The input detection device according to claim 2 , wherein the terminal group is electrically coupled to a touch detection circuit that receives a touch detection signal from the input detection electrode.
