POSITION OUTPUTTING DEVICE

A position outputting device that includes sensing electrodes disposed along an operational surface operated by an object, the operational surface having an operational area, the operational area having a boundary area and an inner area, a position detector configured to detect a position where the object touches the operational surface based on capacitances, the sections including first sections and second sections, the first sections being located in the inner area, the second sections being located in the boundary area, and a determiner configured to determine to output the position data in response to the peak value being detected in one of the first sections and if the difference between the peak value detected in the one of the first sections and the capacitance detected in one of the second sections neighboring the one of the first sections is not more than a predetermined value.
