Abstract
To provide an information input device excellent in durability and visibility and configured to detect a shear force, the information input device of the present invention includes a cover panel, a housing including a support portion that supports a peripheral edge of the cover panel from a back surface, a frame-shaped shear force sensor disposed between the peripheral edge of the cover panel and the support portion of the housing and detects a horizontal input with respect to a surface of the cover panel, and a detection circuit connected to the shear force sensor. The frame-shaped shear force sensor has a layered body including a band-like first electrode, an elastic member, and a pair of band-like second electrodes disposed so as to partially overlap with the first electrode.
