Abstract
An input display device includes a display configured to display an image, a capacitive touch panel configured to be attached onto the display and include at least one three-dimensional UI portion on a surface of the touch panel, and a detection unit configured to detect an operation on the touch panel. The three-dimensional UI portion includes a pulling portion imitating the shape of a pulling type switch, and the detection unit determines a pulling operation by detecting a change in a capacitance in response to a change in a distance from a finger touching the pulling portion to the touch panel.
