OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A position detection device comprising:
a first sensor electrode that extends in a first direction;
a second sensor electrode that extends in the first direction;
a first connection wire connected to the first sensor electrode, wherein the first connection wire includes a portion that extends in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction;
a second connection wire connected to the second sensor electrode, wherein the second connection wire includes a portion that extends in the second direction;
a sensor controller connected to the first connection wire and the second connection wire, wherein the first connection wire extends within a first region, and wherein the second connection wire extends in a second region that is different from the first region;
a first extension line extending in the second region and electrically connected to the first sensor electrode; and
a second extension line extending in the first region and electrically connected to the second sensor electrode,
wherein the first extension line includes a portion that extends in the second direction adjacent to the portion of the second connection wire that extends in the second direction, and
wherein the second extension line includes a portion that extends in the second direction adjacent to the portion of the first connection wire that extends in the second direction.
