Touch Screen Device

摘要

In a touch screen device, a second space is secured between a peripheral edge of an opening of an exterior case and a panel surface of a touch panel; an elastic body is provided on the back surface of an easily deformable portion extending along the peripheral edge of the opening; and a third space that is narrower than the second space is secured between the elastic body and the panel surface of the touch panel. When the easily deformable portion is pressed and bent by the input operation, the elastic body is brought into contact with the panel surface and displaces the touch panel backward so that the vibrating touch panel does not come into direct contact with the peripheral edge of the opening.

主权项

1. A touch screen device comprising:
a display panel; a touch panel disposed in front of and opposite to the display panel with a first space therebetween; a vibrating element that vibrates the touch panel in a direction perpendicular to a panel surface of the touch panel; and an exterior case provided with a rectangular opening that exposes the touch panel, the peripheral edge of the opening facing the panel surface of the touch panel with a second space therebetween, wherein an elastic body facing the panel surface of the touch panel with a third space narrower than the second space therebetween is provided on the back surface of the exterior case, and wherein when the peripheral edge of the opening is pressed backward and bent, the elastic body is pressed against the panel surface of the touch panel and presses the touch panel into the first space, and the peripheral edge of the opening and the panel surface of the touch panel are thereby maintained out of contact with each other.
