<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transparent touch panel input device which can secure the click feeling in its operation mode without disturbing the visual recognition on its surface by moving down the touch panel itself against the elastic members by a depressing operation and actuating a switch by the depressing force. SOLUTION: An LCD display device 2 is fixed to a 1 and an oblong touch panel type key unit 3 is placed at a position near above the surface of the device 2. Then the unit 3 is supported in an up-down way at a position where a proper space is secured against the device 2 with the elastic support members 4 prepares at very corner part at the back of the unit 3. At the same time, The stoppers 5 are provided at the proper positions to control the downward movement of the unit 3. In such a constitution, the depressed unit 3 is moved down against the force of the members 4. Then the click feeling caused by the downward movement of the unit 3 is reflected on a finger tip, and also a switch part position at the corresponding coordinate of the unit 3 is actuated.</p> |
