A decoration panel used as an operation button includes a decoration section between a front translucent member and a rear translucent member, and the decoration section includes a counter reflection layer superposed on a rear face of a light-shield layer. A rear reflection layer is provided between the rear translucent member and a translucent member for illumination. The decoration section is displayed as if floating at an intermediate position in a depth direction. In addition, a surface of the decoration section oriented to the rear side constitutes a counter reflection surface.
