Abstract

A position detection device includes a sensor driving unit driving a touch sensor by providing a drive signal of a sine-wave to the touch sensor and a position detecting unit detecting a position of a touch on the touch sensor. The position detecting unit includes a first detection processing unit performing a touch detection process using an amplitude modulation scheme during a first detection processing period and a second detection processing unit performing the touch detection process using a frequency modulation scheme during a second detection processing period. A position detection method includes a sensor driving step of driving the touch sensor and a position detecting step of detecting the position. The position detecting step includes a first detection processing step of performing the touch detection process using the amplitude modulation scheme and a second detection processing step of performing the touch detection process using the frequency modulation scheme.
