The present invention provides a product with an operation display panel incorporated therein, which naturally harmonizes with the environment to not create visual noise for a user and allow the user to operate the operation display panel intuitively while feeling a natural material. A thin layer, made of a natural wood, natural fiber, natural leather, or natural stone, or a resin, synthetic fiber, synthetic leather or artificial stone created by imitating the appearance and touch of a natural material, is provided on the peripheral surface of a housing so that the thin layer covers at least the entire front surface of a display panel. A touch sensor incorporated comes in contact with the front surface of the panel. The thickness of the thin layer and the luminance of the panel are designed to allow the user to view the content displayed on the panel.

Product with incorporated operation display panel

A touch sensor with an ornament includes a transparent substrate with a flat center part and a raised outer rim part, and a film substrate based transparent conductive sensor with a transparent conductive film layer attached to the inner face of the transparent substrate. A transparent conductive film layer circuit of the transparent conductive film layer is formed at the flat center part, and a routing circuit for detecting an electric signal from the transparent conductive film layer circuit and a decorative print layer for concealing the routing circuit are formed at the raised outer rim part.
