Touch panel device and detection method

The invention relates to a touch panel device and a detection method, and aims to maintain touch position detection precision in a non-rectangular touch panel. In a touch panel device according to the present invention, a plurality of transmitting electrodes and a plurality of receiving electrodes are arranged in a sensing region on a substrate, sensor elements are formed from the transmitting electrodes and the receiving electrodes, the sensing region is formed in a non-rectangular shape, and a plurality of sensor elements are arranged in a row direction and a column direction in the sensing region. Each of the sensor elements is formed in a region shape corresponding to the shape of the sensing region such that the number of sensor elements in each row is the same and the number of sensor elements in each column is the same. 本发明涉及触摸面板装置、检测方法，其目的在于在非长方形的触摸面板中维持触摸位置检测精度。本发明中的触摸面板装置在基板上的感测区域配设多个发送电极和多个接收电极，由发送电极和接收电极形成传感器元件，所述感测区域形成为非长方形，在所述感测区域，多个传感器元件沿行方向以及列方向排列，各传感器元件以各行的传感器元件数量相同且各列的传感器元件数量相同的方式形成为与所述感测区域的
