An electronic device causing flexure vibration of touch panel, to allow for preventing vibration from attenuated and providing sufficient water and dust proofness, the device includes touch panelvibration unitthat vibrates touch paneland upper housingthat covers peripheral portion of upper surface of touch panelsuch that inwardly-extending roof portion-is provided around periphery of top portion of upper housinga surface of touch panelis surrounded by elastic memberexcept for upper surface area of touch panelcorresponding to opening-and area of vibration uniton touch paneland contact is established between elastic member on peripheral portion of upper surface of touch paneland roof portion-and/or between elastic member on peripheral portion of bottom surface of touch paneland support memberof touch panel

Electronic device

Excessive deformation of a piezoelectric element is reduced. An electronic apparatusaccording to the present invention includes a panel, a piezoelectric element, a housingfor mounting the panel, and an intermediate memberattached to the piezoelectric element, wherein the intermediate memberand the paneldeform due to deformation of the piezoelectric element, thereby delivering an air conduction sound and a human body vibration sound to an object in contact with the panelthat is deforming.
