Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, since the operation panel 202 is provided in the paper discharge area, the display unit 206 of the operation panel 202 is hidden for the discharged paper, so the operation mode cannot be recognized.
In addition, since the operation key 204 is pressed from the protective member 208, the handicapped cannot operate the operation key 204 by using a mouth lever attached to the mouth, etc.
[0008] On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-307778, such as Figure 17 As shown, the operation panel 210 is provided on the corner of the top surface of the image forming apparatus 212, and it is installed outside the paper discharge area. Display

Embodiment Construction

[0036] An image forming apparatus employing the operation panel of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0037] First, the basic composition of the image forming apparatus will be described. Such as image 3 As shown, the image forming apparatus 10 is composed of an image forming apparatus 12 and a sheet feeder 14 . In the image forming apparatus main body 12, an image carrier 16 that forms an electrostatic latent image on the surface by irradiating image light after uniform charging; a charger 18 that uniformly charges the surface of the image carrier 16; an optical box are provided, respectively. 20, the optical box 20 irradiates image light to the image carrier 16 according to the image data to form a latent image through the difference in electrostatic potential; the developer 22, the developer 22 selectively transfers the toner to the latent image, and performs a development process; The transfer device 26 transfers the toner image (unfixed ...

Abstract

A display section of an operation panel is raised relative to a horizontal plane. If the display section consists of a liquid crystal having an angle of visibility of 80 degrees (i.e., with an angle formed between the line normal to the display surface of the display section and the visibility range limit being 40 degrees), the display section is raised at about 50 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, so that visibility can be ensured both at the wheelchair seated position and at the standing position at which the non-handicapped person stands up. Further, by arranging visual recognition keys (a menu key etc.) which require an operator to view the display section during operation thereof outside of a projection region of the display section, the operator's hand on the operation panel never hides the display section during operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an operation panel having a display unit for displaying operation contents on the operation unit, and an image forming apparatus or electronic equipment using the operation panel. Background technique [0002] In the past, in order to maintain the visibility of the seat and standing position of wheelchairs, etc., there were operation panels including a changing mechanism for changing the standing angle of the display part facing the horizontal plane. However, due to the increase in the cost of the operation panel and the It is not good to install a changing mechanism because of the danger of breaking the electric wiring due to bending. In addition, it is difficult to ensure the visibility of the wheelchair seat and the standing position at the same time in the operation panel in which the standing angle of the display unit is fixed. [0003] On the other hand, according to the requirements of the current universal desi...
