Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/102392
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A keyboard device according to one embodiment includes a keyboard and a mutual capacitance-type proximity sensor 70. The keyboard includes a first key and a second key that is positioned in an arrangement direction in relation to the first key. The proximity sensor includes a first electrode 77 that has a section extending at least from a first region 800a under the first key to a second region 800b under the second key, a second electrode 75-3 that is positioned in the first region 800a, and a third electrode 75-6 that is positioned in the second region 800b. The proximity sensor 70 uses the variation in the capacitance between the first electrode 77 and the second electrode 75-3, and the variation in the capacitance between the first electrode 77 and the third electrode 75-6.
