Abstract: An operation pad (20) has an exterior plate (21) having a light-emitting unit (E1) and a touch sensor substrate (22) attached to the rear surface of the exterior plate (21). In addition, the operation pad (20) has a light source (S1) attached to the rear surface thereof and a light diffusion member (H1) that is an optical path through which light of the light source (S1) passes toward the light-emitting unit (E1). According to the structure, the structure for allowing the light-emitting unit provided on the operation pad to shine can be downsized.

Abstract: The conspicuity of a light emitting surface provided along an outer edge of an input member is enhanced. An input device (10) includes an upper cabinet section (41) having an opening formed therein, an input member (20) that has an upper surface to be touched by a user with a finger and that is disposed inside the opening, and a light diffusing member (71) having a light emitting surface (E2) located along an outer edge of the input member (20). The light emitting surface (E2) has a first region (71g) exposed in a gap between an inner edge of the opening of the upper cabinet section (41) and an outer edge of the input member (20) and a second region (71h) positioned on an inner side of the outer edge of the input member (20) and below a peripheral portion (21a) of the input member (20).

Abstract: An operating device includes a first light-emitting area provided on a front surface of the operating device, a first light-transmitting member that is formed with a material that transmits light and that makes up the first light-emitting area, a second light-emitting area provided on an upper surface of the operating device, a second light-transmitting member that is formed with a material that transmits light and that makes up the second light-emitting area, a light source, and a light guide member adapted to guide light of the light source to the first light-transmitting member and the second light-transmitting member. The light guide member includes a first guide section arranged behind the first light-transmitting member to guide light to the first light-transmitting member, and a second guide section that extends upward beyond a position of the first light-transmitting member toward the second light-transmitting member.
