INPUT APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input apparatus capable of performing position detection with high sensitivity. SOLUTION: The input apparatus includes an operation surface, a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, and a detection circuit. The first electrodes include first electrode units each having a first width and second electrode units each having a second width narrower than the first width. The first electrode units and the second electrode units are alternately connected in a first direction parallel to the operation surface. The second electrodes include third electrode units each having a third width and fourth electrode units each having a fourth width narrower than the third width. The third and fourth electrode units are alternately connected in a second direction crossing the first direction. The fourth electrode units are respectively opposed to the second electrode units. The detection circuit includes a voltage supply source connected to the first electrodes to supply a voltage to the first electrodes sequentially and a detection unit connected to the second electrodes to detect, based on a change in capacitance between the second electrode units and the fourth electrode units, a position where an operating element approaches or touches with respect to the operation surface.
