Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rotating device with lighting function and electronic equipment equipped with the rotating device. Background technique [0002] A disk-shaped rotary input device is often used in some electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and car navigators. The rotary input device has a disk component, and the rotation direction and The signal corresponding to the rotation angle. In addition, in this rotary input device, there is also a switch operated by pushing the disk member, and an item can be selected by rotating the disk member and confirmed by operating the switch. The above switches to execute the items identified above. Such a rotary input device is described in Patent Document 1, for example. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-312942 [0004] However, existing rotary devices such as rotary input devices do not have an illumination function, so it is inconvenient to use in a da...
