Title:
INPUT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/073596
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An input device includes: a touch panel (12) receiving input by pushing; a load detection unit (13) detecting a pushing load applied to the touch panel (12); a vibration unit (14) vibrating the touch panel (12); and a control unit (15) controlling the driving of the vibration unit (14) so as to provide the feeling of a click to an object pushing the touch panel (12) when the pushing load detected by the load detection unit (13) satisfies a predetermined reference for input receiving at the touch panel (12). Thus, when a user operates the push-type touch panel, the user can feel the same realistic feeling of a click as when operating a push-button switch.
