, and the touch switch 14 is turned on. At this time, as the panel 13 is pushed, the liquid crystal element 12, color filter 11, light diffusing plate 10, and light guide 9, which are integrated with this panel by the panel presser 19, resist the urging force of the elastic body 20. The tact switch 8, which is a click member, is moved backward by the circuit board 16 fixed to the rear surface of the light guide 9.
Press to turn on the tact switch 8.
In this case, the pushing movement of the panel 13 is regulated by the front end of the peripheral wall of the holder 5 integrally provided on the periphery of the board 4, and the circuit board 13 is pushed further beyond the lower limit position of the operating stroke of the tact switch 8.
This is to prevent damage to the circuit board 16 or the tact switch 8 due to excessive pressing between the tact switch 8 and the tact switch 8. Also,
In this embodiment, the tact switch 8 is provided as the gate of all the touch switches 14. In other words, the drive circuit cannot be activated only by connecting the touch switch 14, and only when the tact switch 8 is connected, the drive circuit is activated. configured to operate. Therefore, by pressing the touch switch 14 and the touch switch 8, a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal element 12 and the liquid crystal element 12 is activated.
The display section 2 (not shown) emits light, and the touch switch 14 is also connected through the tactile sensation due to the click feeling of the touch switch 8.
You can confirm that 4 was operated. When the pressing force on the panel 13 is released, the restoring force of the tact switch 8 and each elastic body 20 causes the light guide 9, light diffusing plate 10, color filter 10, liquid crystal element 12, and panel 13 to be integrated by the holding member 21. returns and the panel 13 is brought into contact with the panel presser 19.
このように、パネル13の前後動に応じて、こ

ることができる。 Furthermore, since the panel 13 is configured to be elastically held in a state in which it is in contact with the presser member 21 by the urging force of the elastic body 20 disposed on the substrate 4 corresponding to each corner of the periphery of the panel 13, When opening and closing the plurality of tactile switches 14 formed on this panel 13, the panel 13 can be moved forward and backward as a whole, and in addition, since the tactile switch 8, which is a click member, is arranged at the center of the panel 13, a plurality of tactile switches 14 are formed. Even if the touch switch 14 is opened or closed at any position of the touch switch 14, a substantially uniform click feeling can be obtained, and the switch can be moved back and forth stably. Furthermore, a plurality of touch switches 14
Since a single common tact switch 8 is used as the click member without using a dedicated click member, a reliable click feeling can be obtained with a small number of parts.

A cylindrical portion 24 is formed to which a cylindrical portion 24 is attached. Further, on the substrate 4A, conductive rubber switches 25, which are click members disposed on the rear side of the panel 13 and located on both left and right sides thereof, are arranged facing each other. Then, a panel 13 having a plurality of touch switches 14 is placed on the front surface of each elastic body 20A, and a panel presser 26 and case 1 are fixed so that the front end of the conductive rubber switch 25 and the rear surface of the panel 13 are in contact with each other. Then, the panel 13 is elastically held by the biasing force of each elastic body 20A in contact with the rear side of the peripheral edge of the window portion 26A formed in the panel presser 26. When the panel 13 is pressed when opening/closing the touch switch 14, the panel 1
3 slides on a guide portion 26B protruding inside the side surface of the panel holder 26 and moves toward the substrate 4 against the biasing force of each elastic body 20A, thereby switching one of the conductive rubber switches 25. Press to turn on the conductive rubber switch 2.
By pressing 5, a click feeling can be obtained. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
