Abstract
An operation knob device includes a holder arranged adjacent to a display panel, a rotor arranged in a holding portion so as to allow rotation around an axis, a knob for which relative movement in a direction along the axis with respect to the rotor is allowed and relative movement in a circumferential direction around the axis is restricted, a conductive transmission member arranged on a first end side of the rotor. The transmission member includes a first transmission member that moves along the axis in conjunction with the knob, a second transmission member that is attached to the first end so as to rotate integrally with the rotor, and a connecting member that conductively connects the first transmission member and the second transmission member.
