    Abstract: An input device is provided which is configured such that no matter which position on an operation surface is pushed, the detection sensitivity of the pushing load is suppressed from varying due to different operation positions on the operation surface. An input device includes a first pressing member, a second pressing member, and a substrate. The first pressing member has an operation surface and a first axis and is tiltable around the first axis by the operation surface being pushed. The second pressing member has a second shaft and is tiltable around the second shaft by being pushed by a tilt of the first pressing member. The substrate includes at least one pressure sensor which is to be pushed by the second pressing member. A position of the first axis in the first pressing member is variable in accordance with a pushed position on the operation surface.

    Abstract: An input device includes a contact board, a rotary click cam, and fixed electrodes. The contact board is placed on a front surface of a touchscreen panel. The rotary click cam is provided rotatably around a rotational axis with respect to the contact board. The fixed electrodes are arranged on a lower surface of the contact board. The fixed electrodes are configured to, as the rotary click cam is operated, be switched from an electrically conductive state into an electrically non-conductive state, or vice versa. The fixed electrode includes a first shifted portion shifted by a first predetermined distance with respect to the fixed electrode. The fixed electrode includes a second shifted portion shifted by a second predetermined distance with respect to the fixed electrode.

    Abstract: A proximity sensor includes a conductor, a receiving electrode, and a first transmission electrode. The conductor has an upper surface. The receiving electrode is separate from the upper surface of the conductor in an upward direction and extends along a first direction. The first direction is orthogonal to the upward direction. The first transmission electrode is separate from the upper surface of the conductor in the upward direction and extends along the first direction. The first transmission electrode and the receiving electrode are aligned with each other in a second direction. The second direction is orthogonal to both the upward direction and the first direction. The first transmission electrode has an upper surface having a shape bulging in the upward direction in a cross section orthogonal to the first direction.

    Abstract: An input device configured to more accurately detect movement of an operation part is provided. An input device includes a fixed electrode, a reference electrode, an operation part, and a moving electrode. The fixed electrode and the reference electrode are separate from each other on a substrate. The operation part is movable with respect to the substrate. The moving electrode faces the fixed electrode and is configured to move together with the operation part. The moving electrode 15 moves together with the operation part to enter either a connected state of being electrically connected to the reference electrode or a non-connected state of not being electrically connected to the reference electrode.

    Abstract: Each of first electrode sections forming a transmission electrode includes a first main line and a plurality of first auxiliary lines. Each of second electrode sections forming a reception electrode includes a second main line and a plurality of second auxiliary lines. With the transmission and reception electrodes and overlapping each other, the first main line and the second main line intersect with each other at one point, and a cell region is unclosed. The cell region is surrounded by two or more types of thin wires selected from a group consisting of the first main line, the first auxiliary lines, the second main line, and the second auxiliary lines.

    Abstract: An input device includes: a first electrode including a reference potential electrode and two or more sets each including a transmission electrode and a reception electrode; and a second electrode that approaches and recedes from the two or more sets by rotating while facing the first electrode with a predetermined space being provided therebetween. The reference potential electrode faces at least a portion of the second electrode as a result of the second electrode approaching at least one set out of the two or more sets. A phase when a first set of first transmission and reception electrodes disposed in a first region approaches and recedes from the second electrode is different from a phase when a second set of second transmission and reception electrodes disposed in a second region approaches and recedes from the second electrode.

    Abstract: An input device includes two fixed electrodes and an operating member. The two fixed electrodes is configured to be placed to overlap with specific line electrodes of a plurality of line electrodes . The operating member is movable with respect to the two fixed electrodes. The operating member is movable within a movable range including a plurality of click points. Electrical states of the two fixed electrodes change among a plurality of states in accordance with a movement of the operating member. A divisor of an integer N does not include 4, where the integer N is a total number of times of change in the electrical states of the at least two fixed electrodes when the operating member moves from one to a next one of adjacent two click points of the plurality of click points.
