TOUCH CONTROL INPUT DEVICE, AND SET OF COMPUTER APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a keyboard device for a computer apparatus using a resistive film type touch pad.

SOLUTION: An input device includes a flexible dielectric touch plate 12 disposed above a dielectric substrate 11. A conducting unit includes first conductive membrane patterns 151 formed on a top surface 112 of the substrate 11 and spaced apart from each other, and second conductive membrane patterns 152 formed on a bottom surface 121 of the touch plate 12 and corresponding respectively to the first conductive membrane patterns 151. A spacer 13 is disposed between the substrate 11 and the touch plate 12 for spacing each first conductive membrane pattern 151 apart from the corresponding second conductive membrane pattern 152. Pressing of the touch plate 12 so that at least one first conductive membrane pattern 151 electrically contacts the corresponding second conductive membrane pattern 152 results in outputting of an input signal by the conducting unit. One of the substrate 11 and the touch plate 12 is formed with a prescribed pattern 14 that is visible from above the touch plate 12.
