Abstract
An input display device includes a display configured to display an image, a capacitive touch panel configured to be attached onto the display and include at least one three-dimensional UI portion on a surface of the touch panel, and a detection unit configured to detect an operation on the touch panel. The three-dimensional UI portion includes a pulling portion imitating the shape of a pulling type switch, and the detection unit determines a pulling operation by detecting a change in a capacitance in response to a change in a distance from a finger touching the pulling portion to the touch panel.
Claims8
An input display device comprising:
- a display configured to display an image;
- a capacitive touch panel configured to be attached onto the display and include at least one three-dimensional operation portion on a surface of the touch panel;
- and
- a detection unit configured to detect an operation on the touch panel, wherein the three-dimensional operation portion includes a pulling portion imitating a shape of a pulling type switch, and the detection unit determines whether or not there is a pulling operation by detecting a change in a capacitance in response to a change in a distance to the touch panel from a finger touching the pulling portion;
- wherein the operation portion is attached to the touch panel via an elastic member;
- and
- wherein the detection unit determines whether or not there is a pulling operation by detecting a change in a capacitance due to a change in a shape of a finger touching the pulling portion.
