    a piezoelectric element disposed on the touch panel and capable of expansion and contraction; and

    a plurality of support members disposed on a fixing portion and configured to support and allow for flexure vibration of the touch panel, whereinthe support members are disposed in greater number in a direction intersecting an expansion and contraction direction of the piezoelectric element than in the expansion and contraction direction so that a bending direction of the touch panel due to a press matches a flexure direction of the touch panel due to the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element.
