1. A sensor apparatus, comprising:

  • a display cover including an operation area that is pressed by an operator and a circumferential area located on the circumference of the operation area;

    a frame including an opening covered by the operation area and a fixing portion that fixes the circumferential area;

    a touch panel that is supported by the display cover to be positioned at the opening and detects a position at which the operator comes into contact with the operation area; and

    a pressure-sensitive sensor that is provided between the display cover and the frame, includes a first electrode and a second electrode opposed to the first electrode, and detects a pressing force with respect to the operation area based on a change of a capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode that corresponds to a deflection amount of the display cover.
