Abstract
A light guide member and a sensor that constitute a front light mechanism are bonded with a bonded sheet. A double-sided adhesive tape is provided on each surface of the bonded sheet. A repairing material is printed on a surface of the sensor so as to fill concave portions provided between the adjacent X-electrodes. This substantially increases the contact area with the double-sided adhesive tape, and increases the bonding strength between the light guide member and the sensor.
