<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display/input device for extending a sensor area to an outer frame, while suppressing the deterioration of sensor resolution, and also allowing a user to easily recognize the boundary of the sensor area. <P>SOLUTION: A display/input device is provided which includes: a position sensor on which an electrode pattern in grid form is arranged, the position sensor being for specifying a position of an operating tool by detecting a capacitance changing at a contact part or a proximity part at a time the operating tool is made to contact the electrode pattern or is brought into proximity of the electrode pattern; and an outer frame portion forming an outer frame of a display screen provided with the position sensor. A boundary of an area where the position of the operating tool can be specified by the position sensor despite a non-presence of the electrode pattern is visually or haptically indicated at the outer frame portion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
