<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device which prevents an operation error by feeding back a sense of operation and enables a user to easily visually recognize operations available in an input operation part. <P>SOLUTION: The input device includes: pins 12 which are arranged in a planar manner in a longitudinal direction so as to be driven; and light emitting elements 18a provided in the pins 12, and emits light through the pins 12. The pins 12 form recesses and protrusions. The pins 12 forming the recesses and protrusions constitute an input part that shows the color of light emitted by the light emitting elements 18a. It is determined whether the input part has been operated or not on the basis of detection results of position sensors 20a which detect movements of the pins 12 in the longitudinal direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
