  • Proximity sensor and door handle device including the same
    Patent number: 11405036
    Abstract: A proximity sensor including a first substrate, a second substrate, a first connecting member, at least one first electrode, and a detection part. The first substrate is disposed in the vicinity of a first detection space. The second substrate is disposed on an opposite side of the first substrate to the first detection space. The second substrate faces the first substrate. The first connecting member connects the first substrate and the second substrate. The at least one first electrode is provided on the first substrate and configured such that a signal from the at least one first electrode changes in response to a change in a first capacitance caused by a detection target approaching to the first detection space. The detection part is provided on the second substrate and configured to detect the approach of the detection target based on the signal from the at least one first electrode.
