CONTACT DETECTION DEVICE AND TRAPPING PREVENTION DEVICE

摘要

A contact detection device with a reduced detection delay and a trapping prevention device using such a detection device. The contact detection device has a first electrode (430) formed of a flexible electrically conductive substance and extending in a contact detection range, a second electrode (440) extending with a distance from and on the backside of the first electrode, and a detection means for detecting, based on a capacitance of the first electrode, contact of an object with the first electrode. The first electrode is made of an electrically conductive resin having an embedded conductor.
