Problems solved by technology

In this structure, since many micro switches need to be mounted on the substrate, the cost increases
In addition, since the reaction force of the microswitch is intermittently applied to the operating member, the operating member cannot rotate smoothly, and it is difficult to obtain a good operating feeling.
[0004] In addition, although a coordinate input device that detects coordinates such as a touch panel can detect the amount of displacement and convert it into a signal, the cost of such a coordinate input type input device is relatively high.

Embodiment Construction

[0062] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 These are a plan view, a side view, and an exploded perspective view showing the input device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

[0063] Such as image 3 As shown, the input device 1 has a circular central key top 2 and a ring-shaped dial key top 3 arranged outside the central key top 2 . The input device 1 detects the pressing of the center key top 2, and detects the position where the dial key top 3 is pressed (eight directions in total of up, down, left, right, and diagonal directions), and detects the rotation of the dial key top 3 around the center key top 2. Angle.

[0064] The input device 1 also has: a printed circuit board 4; a deformed dome plate 7, which is formed with a spherically protruding center dome 5 directly below the center key top 2 and annularly protrudes continuously and protruding dir...

Abstract

The invention discloses an input device and an electronic apparatus. The input device can input displacement amount and has good operation feeling and low cost. The input device comprises: a substrate (4) provided with lower side electrodes (14, 15) on the upper surface; a plurality of upper side electrodes arranged above the lower side electrodes (14, 15); and a distorted circular top plate (7) arranged above the substrate (4) and provided with a circular top (6) above the upper side electrodes and continuously extending, wherein the circular top (6) commonly protrudes towards the upper part; when the circular top is pressed, one part in the extending direction turns downwardly so as to press the upper side electrodes on the lower side electrodes (14, 15).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to input devices and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] There is an input device such as a jog dial that detects an operation amount such as rotation and sliding amount, and converts displacement information consisting of the direction of operation and its distance into a signal. A conventional rotary wheel is a complex device including, for example, a rotary encoder that detects the movement of magnets arranged on a circumference using a Hall element. As an input device such as a mobile phone, a low-cost and thin input device is required, but the configuration using a magnet and a Hall element is expensive, and there are limitations in thinning and miniaturization. [0003] In Patent Document 1, there is described an input device in which microswitches are arranged on a circumference, and an operating member having a ring-shaped operating part that can be tilted so that only the microswitches directly be...
