Operation input device and electronic device
First Claim
1. An operation input device comprising:
- an operation panel including a first surface and a second surface opposing to the first surface, the second surface being provided with a half mirror-deposited film;
a plurality of touch input sensors of an electrostatic capacity detecting type arranged to face the second surface of the operation panel;
a light emitting display section including light emitting display elements to emit and display a light in positions of the plurality of arranged touch input sensors; and
a light emitting display control section for making only the light emitting display element corresponding to an operable touch input sensor among the plurality of touch input sensors to emit light.

Abstract
An operation input device or an electronic device equipped with the operation input device comprises an operation panel which includes a half mirror-deposited film being formed in one surface, and a plurality of touch input sensors of an electrostatic capacity detecting type arranged to face the surface in which the half mirror-deposited film is formed. The operation input device further comprises a light emitting display section which includes light emitting display elements to emit and display a light in positions of the plurality of arranged touch input sensors, and a light emitting display control section which permits light emission only from the light emitting display element corresponding to an operable touch input sensor among the plurality of touch input sensors. As a result, inoperable sections on the operation panel are made difficult to be seen from an operator.
