PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch for a system, simple and excellent in operability, and an operating device equipped with the switch. SOLUTION: A switch having a shape perceivable as an input part is provided with an electronically rewritable display part to form this switch with a display function. The display part displays a switch function or the like by using letters, pictures, photos, icons, etc. Since the display part can be rewritable, even if one switch has a plurality of functions, only functions which the switch is equipped with when using it can be displayed. Since functions which can not be performed when using the switch are not required to be displayed, the user of the switch can be prevented from being confused. Since no confusion is caused even if one switch is equipped with many functions, the number of switches equipped in a control panel and a remote control device can be reduced, and a display for one switch can be enlarged.
