Embodiment Construction

[0030] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Incidentally, since the embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, technically preferable various limitations are added. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples as long as the following description does not specifically limit the statement of the present invention.

[0031] The electronic device 10 provided with input and output devices according to the present invention has such figure 1 The configuration shown is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

[0032] In the PDA serving as the electronic device of the present invention, a tactile feedback generation function using tactile sense (vibration) is added to the touch panel so that feedback according to information types of input operations performed can be provided to the user by tactile sense. The tactile feedback is similar...

Abstract

The present invention related to an input device including: an image display unit (30) that displays information; a touch panel (15) with which a user performs input operation of information by touching a portion corresponding to the position at which the information of the image display unit is displayed; a vibration generation device (71) disposed in the image display unit and feeds back, to the user, various kinds of sense of touch in accordance with the type of the information through the touch panel; and a vibration control circuit for allowing the vibration generation device to generate various forms of vibrations in accordance with the type of the information. The vibration generation device is a bimorph piezoelectric actuator. Each of first and second actuator units has multi-layered piezoelectric elements. By this way, it is possible to provide an input / output device capable of surely realizing a feedback to user's input operation performed in accordance with the type of information through the sense of touch when the user performs an input operation of information to a touch panel using the sense of touch.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an input device capable of realizing feedback to a user's input operation through touch when the user performs an information input operation by touching the touch panel, and an electronic device using the input device. [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-251781 filed on August 29, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] An ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) is used here as an example of electronic equipment. A touch panel is attached to the display surface of the ATM. In the operation of using the ATM, the user inputs information through the touch panel, and the feedback to the user's input operation is realized through the equipment added to the outside of the ATM. The added device implements feedback by changing the image on the display window of the ATM or by changing the sound using a speaker or soun...
