Abstract

PURPOSE:To make key operation easy, by providing a display device in the keys on a keyboard and displaying alphabet or Kana (Japanese syllabary) characters corresponding to a shift key or the like. CONSTITUTION:When characters inputted from a keyboard is selected as Kana or symbol through the use of a shift key, one display panel for the display corresponding to inputs is selected for the display, on a multilayer liquid quartz display panel 52 provided at the back of the keyboard. When keys 51 are made transparent, the display of liquid quartz provided under the key can be seen from the upper part of the key. A quartz display panel 72 can be contained in a key top 71. In a small size keyboard, when shift keys are used in many times, since only one type of characters is displayed on the key, the keys can be seen easily and erroneous input can be reduced.
