An input apparatus of the resistive type that is thinner and more durable is provided. The apparatus includes a first substrate having a conductive film on which a plurality of slits are formed in stripes, and a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate at a fixed distance to face the surface of the first substrate implementing the conductive film. This second substrate has a conductive film formed on the surface facing the conductive film of the first substrate. A driving voltage is applied between two predetermined points on the conductive film formed on the first substrate. An electric potential of the conductive film formed on the second substrate is detected when the two conductive films come into contact.

Input apparatus

Relating to input devices and electronic devices generating a signal corresponding to a position depressed on their input domain, an input device and an electronic device are capable of performing an easy correction. The input device generates the signal corresponding to the position depressed on its input domain, and contains a correction domain and a correction unit. The correction domains are set in several positions in a periphery of and different from the input domain. Based on the signal corresponding to the position depressed on the correction domain, the correction unit corrects the signal corresponding to the position depressed on the input domain.

Input device and electronic device

Improves the connection between a touch panel and an external harness. A first electrode cable () and a third electrode cable () are disposed on a first ITO film () on a glass substrate () of a touch panel, and a second electrode cable () and a fourth electrode cable () are disposed on a second ITO film () on a flexible resin (). First to fourth guide conductors (to) are disposed in parallel on a first insulation layer () that is provided near a first side () of the glass substrate. The first to fourth electrode cables are connected to the first to fourth guide conductors, via first to fourth connection conductors (to). A second insulation layer () is laminated on them. On a connection section () of an external harness (), first to fourth external conductors (to) have their coating removed at the touch panel side, and are superimposed with the plurality of guide conductors of the touch panel so that they cross each other. First to fourth holes (to) are provided in advance on the second insulation layer at positions where the external conductors cross the guide conductors respectively. The external harness and the touch panel are pressed together while being heated, and are connected together.
