To provide a tactile sense exhibition device and a drive method for the tactile sense exhibition device, which cope with increase of the number of electrodes of a tactile sense exhibition part with a small number of drivers.
A contact position detection part 102 detects a contact position of a skin surface and the tactile sense exhibition part 101 exhibiting tactile sense information to the skin surface by applying an electric signal to the skin surface, while a contact position monitor part 103 determines a tactile sense information exhibition area of the tactile sense exhibition part 101 applying the electric signal, on the basis of contact position information of the contact position detection part 102. A selection part 104 is provided between the contact position monitor part 103 and an electric signal generation part 105 generating the electric signal applied to the tactile sense information exhibition area, and the selection part 104 selectively applies the electric signal from the electric signal generation part 105 to the tactile sense information exhibition area determined by the contact position monitor part.
