An inputting device, in which a moving control command to a subject to be controlled is formed on a display in an arbitrary direction and the waterproof and the dustproof are provided and whose structure does not have a part sticking out of the surface of the cabinet or has the part sticking out of the surface of the cabinet as small as possible even if it has the sticking out part and whose structure is also simple, is provided. In this, a plane being about parallel to the front surface of the cabinet is defined as an XY plane in an XY orthogonal coordinate system. The inputting device is disposed in an opening part of a cabinet. The inputting device provides an elastic sheet that is made of a material having elasticity and flexibility or having only elasticity and is disposed inside the cabinet in about parallel to the XY plane in a state that the front surface of the elastic sheet faces the rear surface of the front side of the cabinet, a sliding key that is fixed tightly on the front surface of the elastic sheet so that the sliding key is disposed at an about center of the opening part in a state that the sliding key is possible to move in an arbitrary direction on the XY plane, sensors that at least detect the moved direction of the sliding key on the XY plane, and a first controlling means that generates a first control signal based on the moved direction and the amount of the movement of the sliding key detected by the sensors.

To provide a fingertip tactile-sense input device in an input device having a plurality of keys within an extremely small range such as within a range of person's fingertip movement, which while being made extremely small and thin, enables key input while maintaining a sufficient click feeling, and also which is excellent for mass production. A base plate (50) has one dome spring (51) arranged at an approximate center of a side of a hole space, and a contact structure (52) on an inside of the dome spring (51). A surface sheet (20) is fixed to a flange (11) so that in a free state, this becomes approximately the same level as an other face of a frame (10), and is provided with a plurality of surface protrusions (21) deployed within a range in which the person's fingertip moves, and has flexibility, elasticity, and pliability. A digitizer (30) is arranged on the hole space side of the surface sheet (20), so as to be slidable on the surface sheet (20), and is capable of electrically measuring a position where a force applied to the surface sheet (20) is the strongest. A convex part (41) is provided on an actuator (40), and the actuator (40) is fixed to the digitizer (30), and has rigidity.

Provided are a backlight device in which the design freedom concerning the disposal position of a circuit board on to which circuit components are mounted can be kept by simplifying the structure of a lamp as a lighting circuit and reducing the size of the circuit board, and a display equipped with the backlight device. The backlight device comprises a lamp (20), and a lighting circuit (21) generating a lighting drive voltage for driving lighting of the lamp (20). The lighting circuit (21) includes a DC power supply circuit (33) for generating a DC voltage from an input voltage, an inverter drive circuit (43) for converting a DC voltage outputted from the DC power supply circuit (33) into a high frequency voltage, and a boost section (T2) for boosting a high frequency voltage outputted from the inverter drive circuit (43) up to the lighting drive voltage of the lamp (20), and the DC power supply circuit (33) and the inverter drive circuit (43) are disposed on different circuit boards.

It is possible to provide a small-size thin optical pickup device which can correct a coma aberration generated in a light collection optical system including an objective lens for an optical disc. The optical pickup device includes: a first coma aberration correction actuator (6) which has a first tilt drive unit for tilting the objective lens in a first tilt direction; and a second coma aberration correction actuator (7) which has a second tilt drive unit for tilting a coma aberration correction lens arranged between a light source and a start-up mirror for reflecting an outgoing light toward the objective lens, into a second tilt direction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a low cost and high reliability electronic apparatus, by making wireless a method of high-speed data transmission and removing the defects, limitations and the like of the conventional information transmitting systems. SOLUTION: An information transmitting system includes a radio communication means for transmitting first category information and a wired communication means for transmitting second category information. The first category transmission information and the second category transmission information are transmitted, in parallel with each other by the radio communication means and the wired communication means.
