Abstract
A display surface of the present invention includes a display operation surface (2) including an input operation surface (2a) that constitutes at least a part of the display operation surface (2), the input operation surface (2a) being configured to be directly touched by a user so that an input operation is performed, the input operation surface (2a) having a first region (3) and a second region (4) which are provided in a single substrate, the first region (3) being planar and substantially flat, and the second region (4) being protruded and/or recessed with respect to a reference plane which is an input surface the first region (3). It is therefore possible to realize (i) a touch panel which has further improved operator'"'"'s operability and is provided to an electronic device having multi-functions, (ii) a display device including the touch panel, and (iii) an electronic device including the touch panel.
