Abstract
A touch type liquid-crystal display device has a liquid-crystal display panel having flexibility, a touch panel provided to adhere closely to a back side, opposite to a visual side, of the liquid-crystal display panel, and electrodes disposed to be opposite to each other through a gap. The electrodes are capable of coming into partial contact with each other by a pressing force to thereby detect an input position.
Claims15
A touch type liquid-crystal display device comprising:
- a liquid-crystal display panel having flexibility;
- a touch panel provided to adhere closely to a back side, opposite to a visual side, of said liquid-crystal display panel;
- and
- electrodes disposed to be opposite to each other through a gap, said electrodes being adapted for coming into partial contact with each other by a pressing force to thereby detect an input position.
1 more element
An input detecting method comprising steps of:
- disposing a touch panel having electrodes opposite to each other through a gap on a back side, opposite to a visual side, of a liquid-crystal display panel;
- and
- partially bending said liquid-crystal display panel by a pressing force to bring said electrodes of said touch panel into partial contact with each other to thereby detect a position of said pressing.
