[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

If the operation panel of an electronic device has the above configuration, the display element can be printed by soldering. Since the display element is attached directly to the display board, the part for attaching the display element is simply a part of the display element. It could only be used for installation, and the space could not be used effectively. In addition, workers are required to electrically connect display elements to control circuits on printed circuit boards. Soldering is required, which requires time and effort to assemble, lengthens assembly time, and reduces assembly efficiency. There was a problem with poor rates.

[0005] The electronic device operation panel of the present invention was created in view of the above problems. , a control circuit is formed on the back side of the panel body together with an in-mold pattern, and the control circuit is formed on the back side of the panel body. A rubber connector is installed between the display element terminal part of the in-mold pattern of the circuit and the display element. The terminals of the display element are pressed by a pressing plate and connected via a rubber connector. By electrically connecting to the display element terminal section, the printed circuit board and display element can be connected electrically. The purpose of this is to improve assembly efficiency by eliminating the need for soldering.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

The operation panel of the electronic device of the present invention to achieve the above objectives is as follows: There is a membrane key unit on the front of the panel body made of synthetic resin. An operating section is provided to There is a control circuit on the back side of the panel body that controls the electronic equipment using signals from the operation section. is formed together with an in-mold pattern, A display element that performs display according to a display signal from the control circuit is provided, Terminals for the display element and terminals for the display element of the in-mold pattern of the control circuit. A rubber connector is interposed between the Press the terminal of the display element and connect the terminal part for the display element through the rubber connector. A press plate is provided which is electrically connected to.

[0007]

[Effect]

The operation panel of the electronic device with the above configuration uses a pressure plate to press the terminals of the display element to create a rubber Connect the control circuit to the control circuit of the panel body through this rubber connector. electrically connect to the display element terminal part of the field pattern.
