<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a touch operation inputting device capable of arranging escutcheon switches in the near outer peripheral part of a touch panel. SOLUTION: The part of an outer casing 26A corresponding to each side of an input pad 16 is constituted as an escutcheon switch 18, and the part of the outer casing 26A corresponding to each escutcheon switch 18 is provided with slits at the four corners so as to be independently depressed as the escutcheon switch 18. Also, a compression coil spring 24 is formed on a printed wiring board 30 at the lower part of the position corresponding to the escutcheon switch 18 of the outer casing 26A so that the escutcheon switch 18 can be energized by the compressing coil spring 24. Then, the optical axis based on an optical sensor unit of a line which is impossible in a touch operation can be shielded by the depressing operation of each escutcheon switch 18.</p> |
