A touch panel, a display panel, and a display unit achieving prevention of erroneous detection caused by external noise. The touch panel includes: a plurality of detection scan electrodes extending in a first direction and a plurality of detection electrodes facing the plurality of detection scan electrodes and extending in a second direction which intersects the first direction. The one or more selected detection scan electrodes are selected, in a desired unit, from the plurality of detection scan electrodes, to be supplied with a selection pulse, and each of the first and the second detection electrodes is selected from the plurality of detection electrodes.

Most current incontinence detection systems are expensive, difficult to use, uncomfortable to wear, or suffer limitations in the scope of detected events. However, the present invention features an incontinence detection system that uses inexpensive technologies and is disposable. The system can indicate the degree and persistence of wetness. The degree of wetness can be measured across various factors, including geometrical coverage via multiple independent detection points, each comprising a detection cell. A suitably networked system can determine the time and location of wetness. Each cell might be tuned for various factors such as material fluid affinity and exposure area. An advantage of the invention is the ease with which it can be adapted to distinguish fecal incontinence as distinct from urinary incontinence; both forms of incontinence can be monitored using the same system described herein. Another advantage includes the ability to estimate urine salinity.
