Luminous switch and electronic device provided with the same

Abstract

A luminous switch using an inorganic EL material is provided with a plurality of switch sections so as to reduce acoustic noise. The switch sections are provided with a plurality of protruding parts () and a plurality of supporting sections () formed on a surface of a structure (); an elastic deformable conductor () arranged to have a convex surface opposed the protruding parts (); a wiring sheet (A) for covering the conductor (); a luminous sheet () for covering the wiring sheet (A); and a plurality of switch buttons () arranged above the luminous sheet (). The luminous switch has a structure in which at least two supporting sections () are arranged around the protruding parts (), and a space () is formed between the protruding parts () and a switch sheet (). The conductor () is accommodated in the space (). In a case main body (), an electronic component () is mounted and a substrate () provided with wiring is arranged. The switch buttons () are fixed on a key sheet (). A top plate () is arranged on the key sheet () by surrounding the switch buttons (). The top plate () is arranged to cover lower components.
