Abstract
A touch sensing device including a vibratable plate, a touch sensor, a vibration generator including a plunger, an operation face, an opposed part opposed to the vibratable plate in a first direction, and a cushioning member. The plunger is configured to reciprocate in the first direction so as to vibrate the vibratable plate in the first direction. The operation face is to be touched by a detection object for inputting to operate the touch sensing device, and is vibratable as a result of vibration of the vibratable plate. The cushioning member is interposed between the opposed part and the vibratable plate in the first direction. The cushioning member is configured to reduce an amount of displacement in the first direction of the vibratable plate arising from the vibration in the first direction such that the amount is smaller than an amount of movement in the first direction of the plunger.
