To provide a molded component forming projections on the surface of a molding in high productivity, an operation panel comprising the molded component, an electronic apparatus having the molded component, and to provide a method of manufacturing the molded component.
Characters 7 corresponding to a kind of an operation switch 17 are formed by screen printing in the vicinity of a switch opening part 6 of the operation panel 1 formed by injection molding or the like, and Braille 12 corresponding to the characters 7 is duplicately formed on the characters 7 by screen printing. By forming the Braille 12 like this, a sticking space for sticking a seal of the Braille 12 is made unnecessary, the Braille 12 can freely be arranged in a narrow space, and even if the surface 3 of the operation panel 1 is curved, unlike the Braille 12 is stuck with a tape, wrinkles are not generated when sticking, or peeling off from the periphery is prevented, and sure arrangement can be achieved.
