Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device that carry out illumination with a high decoration effect by a simple structure that utilizes existing members. The operating device comprises an operating panel (10) provided with an operating section window (12), and operating sections (20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E) disposed inside the operating section window (12). A light source for illumination is disposed on a rear side of the operating panel (10). Lights emitted from the source for illumination are irradiated by a light guide system including a light guide member (60) and the like from a rear side of the operating section to a panel surface at a peripheral area around the operating section window (12). The panel surface defines a panel reflection surface (13) with a shape that reflects the lights to a front side of the operating panel (10).
