<p>A force feedback-type touch panel device is provided which can provide an operator with clearer feedback than that of conventional art by presenting the operator with vibration having a larger vibration amplitude than that of conventional art and can prevent any breakage or damage of a touch panel when an external impact is applied to the touch panel. The touch panel device includes a base member, a touch panel retained by the base member, a cover member formed in a shape covering the touch panel with a hard synthetic resin, and an actuator that causes the cover member to be displaced along the perpendicular direction with respect to a flat surface of the touch panel. The cover member is urged in the direction toward the base member using an attraction force generated between a first magnet fixed on the base member and a second magnet fixed on the cover member.</p> |
