An input device for an electronic device is disclosed comprising a source of light () emitting a light beam in a first direction, a reflecting member () for reflecting said light beam, means for allowing tilting of the reflecting member () around at least one axis transverse to said first direction, at least one detector () detecting the reflected light beam and outputting an electric signal corresponding to light intensity of the detected light beam in a second direction, in which the light beam is reflected, and an electronic circuit deriving a position signal from the at least one electric signal. Said means for allowing tilting of the reflecting member () comprise a first bearing () having at least one convex surface and at least one concave surface cooperating with each other in a sliding relationship thus enabling said tilting of said reflecting member ().

Input device for an electronic device

A diaphragm () for an electroacoustic transducer is preferably designed to be essentially rectangular and has a diaphragm inner region () for sound conversion and a diaphragm outer region () for attaching the diaphragm () and a diaphragm intermediate region () which lies between the diaphragm inner region () and the diaphragm outer region (), wherein the diaphragm inner region () is delimited toward the outside by preferably rectilinear sides () and the diaphragm outer region () is delimited toward the inside again by preferably rectilinear sides (), and wherein the aforementioned sides () of the diaphragm inner region () are joined to rounded outer corner regions () with a mean outer radius value R and the aforementioned sides () of the diaphragm outer region () are joined to rounded inner corner regions () with a mean inner radius value r, wherein the mean inner radius value r of each inner corner region () is smaller than the mean outer radius value R of the opposite outer corner region ().
