A detection device that detects the approach of a conductor includes: a sensor section including transmission and reception electrodes, and detecting the approach of the conductor to an intersection point where the transmission and reception electrodes intersect with each other; a voltage generating section generating an alternating voltage in which a rise and a fall of a voltage value according to first and second slopes are alternately repeated; a current generating section applying the alternating voltage to the transmission electrode to generate, in the reception electrode, an alternating current having a uniform current value according to the first or second slope while the voltage value of the alternating voltage is rising or falling; a signal generating section generating a detection signal vibrating with an amplitude according to a distance between the intersection point and the conductor; and a detecting section detecting the approach of the conductor to the intersection point.
