CAPACITIVE SENSOR

As a capacitive sensor that can suppress the effect of the breakage of a linking part due to an ESD on detection operation, a capacitive sensor 1 is provided that has: an electrode link 12 that has a plurality of second transparent electrodes 5 arranged in a predetermined direction; a first wiring part 61 electrically connected to one end of the electrode link 12; a second wiring part 62 electrically connected to another end of the electrode link 12; a central linking part that electrically connects a plurality of second transparent electrodes 5 placed at the central portion of the detection area 11 in the predetermined direction; and a peripheral linking part that electrically connects a plurality of second transparent electrodes 5 placed in other than the central portion in the predetermined direction. The first wiring part 61 and second wiring part 62 are electrically connected to each other in a non-detection area 25. The electric resistance value of the central linking part is higher than the electric resistance value of the peripheral linking part.
