An electrostatic capacitance tilt angle sensor having a size that is reduced
without
lowering detection capacity. The sensor is provided with a case including a first
wall and a second wall facing each other. A common electrode is arranged on the
first wall and a differential electrode is arranged on the second wall. A liquid
electrostatic capacitance medium is accommodated in the case and contacts the common
electrode and the differential electrode. The electrostatic capacitance medium
includes an insulative liquid base and fine particles mixed in the base. The fine
particles have a dielectric constant that is higher than that of the base.
