Capacitive sensor
A capacitive sensor includes a base material provided with a pattern of a light-transmissive conductive film. The light-transmissive conductive film contains metal nanowires. The pattern includes a detection pattern of a plurality of detection electrodes arranged with intervals, a plurality of lead-out wirings linearly extending in a first direction from corresponding ones of the detection electrodes, and a resistance-setting section connected to at least any one of the lead-out wirings and including a portion extending in a direction not parallel to the first direction.
