Abstract

An input device including a touch sensor, which is capable of accurately detecting whether a touch input to a touch surface is input by an object or/and a touch position even in a situation where the touch input device is in a floating state. The touch input device includes a touch surface, including: a touch sensor which is disposed under the touch surface and includes a plurality of driving electrodes, a plurality of receiving electrodes, and a plurality of dummy receiving electrodes; and a touch detection unit configured to detect a touch position of an object input to the touch surface based on a detection signal output from the plurality of receiving electrodes of the touch sensor, in which the touch detection unit detects the touch position of the object input to the touch surface.
