Structured touch switch
First Claim
1. A structured touch switch which is of an electrostatic capacity type designed to detect a touch operation on the basis of a variation in electrostatic capacity between electrodes, comprising:
- a substrate made of a material having a non-conductive characteristic;
a conductive member made of a material having a conductive characteristic and formed integrally with said substrate so that a portion of said conductive characteristic member appears at a surface of said substrate; and
a touch detection electrode positioned at a backside of said substrate and in opposed relation to said conductive member in a state where a space is defined with respect to said conductive member.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a structured touch switch, which is of an electrostatic capacity type. The structured touch switch comprises a substrate made of a material having a non-conductive characteristic, a conductive member made of a material having a conductive characteristic and formed integrally with the substrate so that a portion of the conductive characteristic member appears at a surface of the substrate and a detection electrode positioned at a backside of the substrate and in opposed relation to the conductive member in a state where a space is defined with respect to the conductive member.
