Embodiment 1

[0114] image 3 A and image 3 B shows the structure of the mobile phone 101 provided with the input device 10 as the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0115] image 3 A mobile phone 101 shown in A constitutes an example of electronic equipment and includes a slide-type casing structure. The mobile phone 101 comprises an upper case 11a and a lower case 11b mounted with an embodiment of the input device 10 according to the present invention. For example, the upper case 11a is slidably connected to the lower case 11b back and forth. Such as image 3 As shown in B, the mobile phone 101 adopts an operation surface sliding casing structure, so that the upper casing 11a covers the operation surface on the lower casing 11b.

[0116] The upper cabinet 11a includes a display unit 29 having a predetermined size, displaying a waiting screen image or a partner's phone number, or the like. A liquid crystal display monitor is used as the display unit 29 . An input device 1...

Embodiment 2

[0161] Figure 13 The internal structure of the input device 20 as the second embodiment is shown. In this example, in Figure 13 A speaker 36 b having an actuator function constituting a vibrating body function is provided at the input device 20 shown, and is configured to generate vibrations relative to the sliding position of the operator's finger 30 a detected by the sensor 13 . For speaker 36b, as Figure 14 Use a vibrator compatible with the use of the speaker function as shown. For example, the speaker 36b is installed at a portion inside the lower cabinet 11b near where the top key 14 is arranged.

[0162] Figure 14 The structure of the speaker 36b having an actuator function seen from the front side is shown. Figure 14 The speaker 36b shown has an actuator function that can generate a tactile sensation in addition to the speaker function. This speaker 36b is applicable to an information processing device, a mobile phone, a mobile terminal device, etc., which p...

Embodiment 3

[0174] Figure 15 The structure of the input device 30 as the third embodiment is shown. In this embodiment, a dome switch 25 constituting an example of a switch section is provided and operated to turn on and / or off the dome switch 25 by the pressing operation of the top key 14 . For the dome switch 25, a part of the circuit board 17 or a part of the detection electrode of the electrostatic capacitive plate member explained in the eighteenth embodiment is used.

[0175] Figure 15 The illustrated input device 30 has a rectangular push piece 19 and a hemispherical dome switch 25 added to the previously described input device 20 . According to the input device 30, the top key 14 is fitted into the opening 11c of the lower case 11b.

[0176] For the top key 14, for example, a member formed by injecting PC (polycarbonate) resin, PC+ABS resin, or the like into a mold molded in a convex shape is used. In this embodiment, the top key 14 is molded, after which UV (ultraviolet) co...

Abstract

The present invention provides an input device and an electric device, wherein the input device inputs information by a slide operation depending on an operation body. The device contains a housing having an operation surface; a detection unit that is provided in the housing and includes an electrostatic capacitance sheet member which detects a slide position of the operation body to output a position detection signal; and an operation unit that covers an entire surface of the detection unit and is slide-operated along the operation surface of the housing. The operation unit has a convex shape which becomes thicker along a sliding direction from one direction of the operation surface of the housing and also which becomes thinner toward the other direction of the operation surface thereof.The electrostatic capacitance sheet member includes a switch portion that is switched by a press-in operation of the operation body to the operation unit. According to the invention, it is possible to improve the miniaturization, thinning preparation and operability of the operation unit, so as to reduce fault and cost and simplify the preparation treatment of the input device.
