Abstract
A remote control device configured communicate with an air conditioner or a heat pump includes a touch panel having an electrode unit, a liquid crystal display, and a casing accommodating the touch panel and the liquid crystal display. The casing has a back surface part and a front surface part. The liquid crystal display is disposed to overlap the touch panel as seen from a front surface part side. The electrode unit has a first electrode section to detect a touched position, and a second electrode section that may function as an antenna to perform wireless communication with another communication device. The first and second electrode sections are configured and arranged to be nearer to the front surface part than to the back surface part inside the casing, and to be disposed so as not to overlap with each other as seen from the front surface part side.
