Abstract
An electronic apparatusincludes a touch padfor accepting a touch operation of a user, a support sectionfor supporting the touch pad, and a vibrating sectionattached to the touch padfor flexurally deforming the touch pad. As flexural vibration of the touch padis transmitted to the support section, the support sectiondeforms to vibrate in displacement vibration. An amplitude of the displacement vibration of the support sectionis greater than an amplitude of the flexural vibration of the touch pad
