<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device used for a portable information terminal, etc. in which plural types of input operations can be surely and intuitively performed with a fingertip and which contributes to make the device thinner. <P>SOLUTION: A capacitance type input device comprises a touch substrate part 32 having a touch electrode 32a on its top surface for detecting a position on a flat surface on the basis of capacitance change, and a ground electrode 32b on its under surface for the touch electrode 32a. A gap 51 is provided below the touch substrate part 32, where a displacement electrode 33a is provided facing to the ground electrode 32b. The displacement electrode 33a detects a pressing force on the basis of capacitance change due to narrowing of the distance between the displacement electrode 33a and the ground electrode 32b. A direction detection part I and a pressing force detection part II, part of which is common and overlaps in the thickness direction, are provided, enabling various input operations. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
