201218057 可。經使用後的輸入裝置1 〇只需拋棄即可。 或者,藉由在欲使用的場所預先準備該輸入裝置10, 可降低使用者隨身攜帶輸入裝置10的必要性。此外,即使 遺失,準備替代用的輸入裝置10也較電容式觸控筆等容易 〇 不僅如此,本實施形態的輸入裝置10,在採用樹脂薄 片作爲絕緣層1 1的場合中可以印刷。亦即,由於可引刷輸 入裝置10的商品名和使用方法、或者各式各樣的花紋等, 故可輕易地製作出具有良好外觀性的產品。 雖然在本實施形態中,絕緣層11與導電層12各自是由 1層所構成,但也可以爲2層以上。亦即,也可以形成:絕 緣層1 1與導電層12交互地積層的構造。 不僅如此,雖然在本實施形態中,黏著層1 3是被設於 導電層12,但本發明並不侷限於此,也可以設於絕緣層11 〇 此外,就「爲了配合各種支承體的形狀,使用者可自 由地設定筒狀輸入裝置1〇之形狀」的這點來看,最好是設 有黏著層13。但是在已預先將輸入裝置10設成筒狀之形狀 的狀態下,必須考慮其流通性(指運輸性)。在該場合中 ,可考慮不設置黏著層13,而藉由壓著等方式接著,來維 持筒狀的形狀。在該場合中,黏著層1 3則並非必須。 <輸入裝置之使用形態的說明> 接下來,針對上述輸入裝置1 0的具體使用形態進行說 -12- 201218057 明。 第2圖(a)〜(c),是說明輸入裝置1〇之使用形態 的第1〜第3範例的圖。 在本文中’第2圖(a)是說明輸入裝置10之使用形態 的第1範例的圖。 在第2圖(a)中顯示:藉由使第1圖所示的輸入裝置 1〇’配合筆具20的形狀而捲回,進而形成筒狀之形狀的場 合。然而在以下的說明中,爲了區分上的方便,而將形成 該筒狀形態的輸入裝置10稱爲「輸入裝置l〇a」。該輸入 裝置10a’輸入裝置10是將絕緣層η作爲外側,並將導電 層12作爲內側而捲回,接著利用配置於輸入裝置10端部的 黏著層13接著後固定,而維持筒狀的形狀。此外,輸入裝 置10a’是使筆具20從「位於面向前端部14之位置」的前 端部1 5側插入,並在已安裝於筆具2 0的狀態下使用。 此外,在本實施形態中,當輸入裝置1 0形成筒狀的形 〇 狀之際,是形成從前端部1 5朝向前端部1 4縮小的形狀。因 此,雖然筆具20從前端部15插入時,是保有餘隙地插入, 但筆具20是無法朝向前端部14側貫穿。如此一來,可以將 輸入裝置l〇a穩定地安裝於筆具20。此外,此時,只要將 黏著層13設於導電層12的整個面,便可藉由該黏著層13與 筆具20的接著而固定,可更加地穩定。 然而,即使是「將輸入裝置1〇安裝於筆具20之後再捲 回,而獲得形成筒狀形態」的輸入裝置l〇a,也能與上述 說明相同地使用。此時,在將輸入裝置10安裝時筆具20之 -13- 201218057 際,最好是在輸入裝置ίο標示定位用的標誌(譬如’ 具20之前端位置配合(一致)的標誌等)。 接下來,使用觸控面板的使用者,可藉由握持著 於筆具20的輸入裝置l〇a,並使輸入裝置10a的前端部 觸於觸控面板,而對觸控面板執行資訊的輸入。此時 入裝置l〇a的至少一部分,最好是接觸於握持著筆具 手。 在該場合中,筆具20可以是原子筆之類的一般筆 因此,在該形態的場合中,使用者可使用慣用的筆具 者手邊現有的筆具執行對觸控面板的資訊輸入。在該 中,可獲得:能兼顧對觸控面板的輸入、與一般書寫 種功能的裝置。 此外,第2圖(b),是說明輸入裝置10之使用形 第2範例的圖。 在第2圖(b)中,是顯示將第2圖(a)所示的輸 置l〇a,在第2圖(a)中的Ilb-IIb處予以切斷的狀態 以下的說明中,爲了區分上的方便,而將該輸入裝置 爲「輸入裝置10b」。輸入裝置l〇b,是在手指30從切 之側插入,而安裝於手指3 0的狀態下使用。而在本實 態中,輸入裝置1 Ob是如同先前所描述,是形成從切 朝向前端部14縮小的形狀。因此,手指30是無法朝向 部1 4側貫穿。如此一來,可將輸入裝置1 〇b穩定地安 手指3 0。不僅如此,與第1圖(a )的場合相同,只要 著層13設置於導電層12的整個面,便可藉由該黏著層 與筆 安裝 14接 ,輸 20的 具。 、或 場合 之兩 態的 入裝 。在 10稱 斷部 施形 斷部 前端 裝於 將黏 13與 -14- 201218057 手指30的接著而固定,可更加地穩定。 接著’使用觸控面板的使用者,可藉由使安裝於手指 30之輸入裝置10b的前端部14接觸於觸控面板,而對觸控 面板執行資訊的輸入。 此外,第2圖(c ),是說明輸入裝置1 0之使用形態的 第3範例的圖。 在第2圖(c)中,是顯示將第2圖(b)所顯示的輸入 0 裝置l〇b,更進一步地在第2圖(b )中的IIc-IIc處予以切 斷的狀態。在以下的說明中,爲了區分上的方便,而將該 輸入裝置10稱爲「輸入裝置l〇c」。輸入裝置10c,並不具 可捲繞於手指30全體的寬度,而是在接觸於手指30局部後 安裝的狀態下使用。在該場合中,是藉由黏著層13而將輸 入裝置l〇c與手指30予以接著並固定。 接著,使用觸控面板的使用者,可藉由使安裝於手指 30之輸入裝置l〇c的前端部14接觸於觸控面板,而對觸控 〇 面板執行資訊的輸入。 如以上所述,由於絕緣體11與導電體1 2可作爲一體而 自由彎曲,因此本實施形態的輸入裝置10能容易地配合支 承體的形狀。不僅如此,爲了能更輕易地執行對觸控面板 的輸入,是藉由如上述輸入裝置10b、10C般的切斷等,輕 易地配合其長度。而在已將輸入裝置10b、10c展開的場合 中,形成譬如於第1圖(a)所示的Ib-Ib處切斷的形狀,在 該場合中,是形成五角形的形狀。 而在本實施形態中,由於是將導電層1 2作爲內側而捲 -15- 201218057 回,絕緣層1 1則成爲外側。因此,與觸控面板直接接 部分,便成爲絕緣層11,即使在該場合中,微弱電流 以從電容式的觸控面板,通過輸入裝置10a、1 Ob、] 及人體而流通。據此,由輸入裝置l〇a、10b、l〇c對 面板執行資訊的輸入時不會有障礙。 此外,雖然輸入裝置10a、10b、10c,是藉由將 層1 1作爲外側,並將導電層1 2作爲內側後捲回的方式 作第1圖所示的輸入裝置1 0,但亦可藉由將絕緣層1 1 內側,並將導電層1 2作爲外側後捲回的方式來製作。 而使用以上所說明的輸入裝置l〇a、10b、l〇c對 面板執行資訊輸入的方法,可被視爲以「藉由使輸入 l〇a、l〇b、10c接觸於電容式觸控面板,而輸入觸控 上之位置」作爲特徴的輸入方法。 <輸入裝置之集合體的說明> 接著,針對集合了輸入裝置10的集合體進行說明 第3圖(a)〜(c),是說明輸入裝置之集合體β 〜第3範例的圖。 在本文中’第3圖(a)是說明輸入裝置1〇之集合 第1例的圖。 第3圖(a)所示的集合體1〇〇,是使輸入裝置1〇 於其厚度方向的集合體。接著,輸入裝置1〇是藉由隔 者層13積層的方式形成集合體1〇〇。藉由形成上述的 ,在流通(運輸)輸入裝置10的場合中,可作爲集 觸的 也可 〇c以 觸控 絕緣 來製 作爲 觸控 裝置 面板 勺第1 體的 積層 著黏 形態 合體 -16- 201218057 1 0 0並以經整合的形態流通。接下來,使用輸入裝置1 〇的 使用者,可從集合體100—次1片地剝取輸入裝置10,並藉 由安裝於當作支承體的筆具20或手指30,而使用輸入裝置 10° 此外,第3圖(b)是說明輸入裝置10之集合體的第2 例的圖。 第3圖(b )所示的集合體200,是藉由將形成梯形形 0 狀的輸入裝置10結合成平面狀而成爲集合體200。在本實 施形態中’各輸入裝置1 0之間形成接縫,藉由這樣的方式 使各輸入裝置10結合。接著,使用輸入裝置10的使用者, 可藉由從集合體200將接縫的部分撕開,而將輸入裝置10 予以分離,再藉由安裝於當成支承體的筆具20或手指30, 而使用輸入裝置10。 在本實施形態中,可藉由使各輸入裝置10的方向彼此 相反地予以結合’而使集合體200形成帶狀。接著,可以 Q 在捲取該帶狀集合體200的形態下,流通(運輸)集合體 200 ° 此外’第3圖(c)是說明輸入裝置1〇之集合體的第3 例的圖。 第3圖(c)所示的集合體3 00,是藉由積層筒狀形狀 的輸入裝置10b而成爲集合體3 00。藉由形成上述的形態, 使用輸入裝置10b的使用者’可藉由從集合體3〇〇—次1片 地剝取輸入裝置l〇b,並安裝於當成支承體的筆具20或手 指3 0 ’而使用輸入裝置〗〇 b。此外,在該形態中,安裝於 -17- 201218057 當成支承體的筆具20或手指30時不必將其捲回。因此,使 用者可立即使用輸入裝置l〇b。 如上所述地使輸入裝置10形成集合體,使用者可攜帶 該集合體,即使輸入裝置10遺失也能立即準備替代的輸入 裝置10。因此,即使使用者遺失了輸入裝置10,也不會失 去對觸控面板輸入的手段。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖:(a)〜(b)是說明採用本實施形態之輸入 裝置的其中一例的圖。 第2圖:(a )〜(c )是說明輸入裝置之使用形態的 第1〜第3例的圖。 第3圖:(a)〜(c)是說明輸入裝置之集合體的第1 〜第3例的圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 10 :輸入裝置 11 :絕緣層 12 :導電層 13 :黏著層 20 :筆具 3 0 _手指 100、200、3 00 :集合體 -18-201218057 VI.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a user who does not easily feel the frictional feeling of the hand 201218057 and improve the accuracy of the detection position of the touch panel, and in addition, it is not easy to lose the capacitance of the input means even if it is lost. Input device for touch panel, etc. [Embodiment] <Description of Input Device> Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 (a) to (b) are diagrams for explaining an example of an input device according to the embodiment. The input device 10 is an input device that inputs a position on the touch panel by contacting a capacitive (capacitive, capacitive coupling) touch panel. Here, Fig. 1(a) is a perspective view showing the entire input device 1A, and Fig. 1(b) is a first view (Ib-Ib cross-sectional view of 〇. Fig. 1 (a) to (b) As shown in the figure, the input device 10 includes a flexible insulating layer 1 1 , a conductive layer 12 formed by laminating the insulating layer 11 , and a partial adhesive layer 13 provided on the conductive layer 12 . The layer 11 and the conductive layer 12 are formed into a planar hexagonal shape as a whole. The insulating layer 1 1 is a base material for forming the conductive layer 12 and has insulating properties. Further, it has flexibility and can be used. Freely bent. Therefore, the shape of the support for mounting the input device 10 can be matched. In this context, the so-called support body 'is a finger or a pen as will be described in detail later. Then, for example, by inputting the device 10 rolls attached to the aforementioned finger or pen can be shaped to match the shape of the support body in the shape of the input device -8-201218057. For the material of the insulating layer 11 which satisfies the above conditions, for example, a resin sheet can be used. Said to be made of polypropylene (pp), polyester, nylon, polyvinyl chloride A resin sheet formed of PVC, polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. Next, as for the thickness of the above-mentioned resin sheet, "ΙΟ/zm~3 00 can be used // Resin sheet of ιη. 0 The conductive layer 12 is electrically conductive so that a weak current flows between the touch panel and the human body. Then, with such a configuration, the input device 10 can be used as a capacitive touch panel. In the present embodiment, the conductive layer 12 contains a metal or a conductive polymer, whereby the conductive layer 12 is made electrically conductive. In this context, the so-called metal is, for example, aluminum (A1), chromium. (Cr), nickel (Ni), tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), gold (Au), etc. Among them, the conductive layer 12 is preferably from the viewpoint of easy vapor deposition or the like, or a low manufacturing cost. It is formed of aluminum (A1). Q The thickness of the conductive layer 12 cannot ensure conductivity when it is too thin, but in the case of excessive thickness, when the input device 10 is fitted to the shape of the support, it is easy to bend and cause plastic deformation. In fact, when the input device 10 is used, Wrinkles are generated due to the zigzag. Then, if the contact portion between the input device 10 and the touch panel, that is, the front end portion 14 is bent, it is easy to form between the input device 10 and the touch panel. In this case, when the input device 10 is in surface contact with the touch panel, contact failure is less likely to occur, and thus, from the viewpoint of "ensures electrical conductivity and is difficult to cause contact failure", In the present embodiment, the conductive layer 12 is preferably formed of a metal film of -9-201218057. Then, the thickness can be set to, for example, 1 〇ηιη to l〇〇/i, and conductive can be ensured while ensuring conductivity. The layer 12 may also be provided only on a portion of the insulating layer 11. The conductive layer 12 described above can be formed by being applied to the insulating layer n by vapor deposition or the like. In this case, the insulating layer 11 and the conductive layer 12 can be regarded as a metal laminated film. The adhesive layer 13 is provided for maintaining the shape of the input device 10 when the shape of the support body is fitted to the input device 10, or for fixing the support device 10 when the input device 10 is attached to the support body. Body and input device 10. In order to exert the above effects, the adhesive layer 13 is preferably formed of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives. That is, it is preferable to complete the subsequent moment at the time of posting to the subsequent portion. Further, in the case where the input device 10 is subsequently fixed to the support body, the subsequent connection between the support body and the input device 10 does not need to be sufficiently strong, and it is preferable that the input device 10 can be easily detached from the support body. . In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 13 is disposed at two locations "the position along one side of the hexagonal shape of the input device 10 and the position along the other side facing the side". By using the above-described input device 10, when the touch panel is operated, the user does not need to directly touch the finger to the touch panel, and thus it is difficult to feel the friction of the finger. Not only that, but the contact area of the touch panel can be reduced as compared with the case of using a finger. Therefore, the positional accuracy of the portion contacting the touch panel can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, the input device 10 is constituted by a two-layer structure in which the insulating layer 11 and the conductive-10-201218057 layer I2 are formed. This is because once the insulating layer 11 is provided, it is difficult to flow a weak current between the touch panel and the human body, and it is not possible to function as an input device. Further, in the case where only the conductive layer 12 is provided, in the case where the conductive layer 12 is formed using a metal, as described earlier, it is easy to form a point contact at the front end portion 14 so that contact failure is liable to be easily caused. Further, in the input device 10 of the present embodiment, since the insulating layer 11 is formed of a flexible resin sheet or the like, the front end portion 14 is elastically deformed, and is bent to contact the touch panel. Therefore, it is easy to form a surface contact, which makes the weak current flow more easily. Further, in the input device 10 of the present embodiment, the capacitive stylus having a hard tip end portion is less likely to cause damage on the surface of the touch panel, and the touch panel is less likely to be damaged. Moreover, in recent years, touch panels are mostly touch panels that can detect a plurality of contact points. In other words, the so-called "multi-touch" can be performed, and by using such a panel and performing a predetermined action on the touch panel, various functions such as enlargement or reduction of the screen can be realized. However, in the case where a capacitive stylus is used as the input device, it is difficult to touch a plurality of portions of the touch panel. Further, in the input device 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of parts of the touch panel can be easily touched by attaching the input device 10 to a plurality of fingers. Further, by using the input device 10 of the present embodiment, a so-called disposable input device can be realized. For example, an assembly of the input device 10, which will be described later, is convenient to carry, and it is only necessary to take out the required number and attach it to a pen or a finger after use, that is, -11 - 201218057. After use, the input device 1 can be discarded. Alternatively, by preparing the input device 10 in advance at the place to be used, the necessity of the user carrying the input device 10 with him or her can be reduced. Further, even if it is lost, the input device 10 for replacement is easier than the capacitive stylus pen. The input device 10 of the present embodiment can be printed when the resin film is used as the insulating layer 1 1 . That is, the product name and the method of use of the brush input device 10, or various patterns can be easily produced, so that a product having good appearance can be easily produced. In the present embodiment, the insulating layer 11 and the conductive layer 12 are each composed of one layer, but they may be two or more layers. That is, it is also possible to form a structure in which the insulating layer 11 and the conductive layer 12 are alternately laminated. In addition, in the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 13 is provided on the conductive layer 12. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be provided in the insulating layer 11 and "in order to match the shape of various supports" In view of the fact that the user can freely set the shape of the tubular input device 1", it is preferable to provide the adhesive layer 13. However, in the state in which the input device 10 has been previously formed into a cylindrical shape, it is necessary to consider its fluidity (refer to transportability). In this case, it is conceivable that the adhesive layer 13 is not provided, and the cylindrical shape is maintained by pressing or the like. In this case, the adhesive layer 13 is not essential. <Description of Use Mode of Input Device> Next, the specific use form of the input device 10 will be described -12-201218057. Figs. 2(a) to 2(c) are diagrams showing first to third examples of the usage form of the input device 1A. In the present invention, Fig. 2(a) is a view showing a first example of the use form of the input device 10. In Fig. 2(a), it is shown that the input device 1'' shown in Fig. 1 is wound up in accordance with the shape of the writing instrument 20, thereby forming a cylindrical shape. However, in the following description, the input device 10 forming the cylindrical form is referred to as "input device 10a" for convenience of distinction. In the input device 10a', the input device 10 has the insulating layer η as the outer side, and the conductive layer 12 is wound back as the inner side, and then the adhesive layer 13 disposed at the end of the input device 10 is then fixed to the cylindrical shape. . Further, the input device 10a' is inserted from the front end portion 15 side of the "position located at the front end portion 14", and is used in a state where it is attached to the writing instrument 20. Further, in the present embodiment, when the input device 10 is formed into a tubular shape, the shape is reduced from the distal end portion 15 toward the distal end portion 14. Therefore, when the writing instrument 20 is inserted from the distal end portion 15, the writing instrument 20 is inserted with a clearance, but the writing instrument 20 cannot penetrate toward the distal end portion 14 side. In this way, the input device 10a can be stably attached to the writing instrument 20. Further, at this time, if the adhesive layer 13 is provided on the entire surface of the conductive layer 12, it can be fixed by the adhesion of the adhesive layer 13 and the writing instrument 20, which is more stable. However, even if the input device 10a that "attaches the input device 1A to the writing instrument 20 and then rewinds it to form a cylindrical shape" can be used in the same manner as described above. At this time, when the writing device 10 is mounted, the writing instrument 10 is -13-201218057, and it is preferable that the input device ίο indicates a positioning flag (for example, a flag (for the same position at the front end of the tool 20). Next, the user who uses the touch panel can perform information on the touch panel by holding the input device 10a of the writing instrument 20 and touching the front end portion of the input device 10a to the touch panel. Input. At least a portion of the device l〇a is preferably in contact with the hand holding the pen. In this case, the writing instrument 20 can be a general pen such as a ball pen. Therefore, in the case of this form, the user can perform information input to the touch panel using the existing writing instrument of the conventional author. In this, it is possible to obtain a device that can take into consideration both the input to the touch panel and the functions of the general writing type. Further, Fig. 2(b) is a view for explaining a second example of the use form of the input device 10. In the second diagram (b), in the following description, the state in which the transport l〇a shown in Fig. 2(a) is cut off at Ilb-IIb in Fig. 2(a) is shown. In order to facilitate the distinction, the input device is referred to as "input device 10b". The input device 10b is used when the finger 30 is inserted from the side of the cut and is attached to the finger 30. In the present embodiment, however, the input device 1 Ob is formed in a shape which is reduced from the cutting toward the front end portion 14 as previously described. Therefore, the finger 30 cannot be penetrated toward the side of the portion 14 side. In this way, the input device 1 〇b can be stably held by the finger 30. Further, as in the case of Fig. 1(a), as long as the layer 13 is provided on the entire surface of the conductive layer 12, the adhesive layer can be connected to the pen mount 14 to transfer the 20 member. Or the two states of the occasion. At the front end of the 10-shaped broken part, the front end of the broken part is attached to the adhesive 13 and the -14-201218057 finger 30 is fixed, which is more stable. Then, the user who uses the touch panel can input information to the touch panel by bringing the front end portion 14 of the input device 10b attached to the finger 30 into contact with the touch panel. Further, Fig. 2(c) is a view for explaining a third example of the usage form of the input device 100. In Fig. 2(c), the input 0 device 10b shown in Fig. 2(b) is further cut off at IIc-IIc in Fig. 2(b). In the following description, the input device 10 will be referred to as "input device l〇c" for convenience of distinction. The input device 10c is not wound around the entire width of the finger 30, but is used in a state in which it is attached to a part of the finger 30. In this case, the input device 10c and the finger 30 are attached and fixed by the adhesive layer 13. Then, the user who uses the touch panel can input information to the touch panel by touching the front end portion 14 of the input device 10c mounted on the finger 30 to the touch panel. As described above, since the insulator 11 and the conductor 1 2 can be bent freely as a whole, the input device 10 of the present embodiment can easily match the shape of the support. Further, in order to more easily perform the input to the touch panel, the length is easily matched by cutting or the like as in the above-described input devices 10b and 10C. On the other hand, when the input devices 10b and 10c have been unfolded, a shape cut like Ib-Ib shown in Fig. 1(a) is formed, and in this case, a pentagon shape is formed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the conductive layer 1 2 is wound inside, the winding layer -15-201218057 is returned, and the insulating layer 1 1 is formed outside. Therefore, the portion directly connected to the touch panel becomes the insulating layer 11, and even in this case, a weak current flows from the capacitive touch panel through the input devices 10a, 1 Ob, and the human body. Accordingly, there is no obstacle to the input of information to the panel by the input devices 10a, 10b, l〇c. Further, although the input devices 10a, 10b, and 10c are the input device 10 shown in Fig. 1 by using the layer 1 1 as the outer side and the conductive layer 12 as the inner side, the input device 10 can be borrowed. It is produced by the inside of the insulating layer 1 1 and the conductive layer 12 is wound as the outer side. The method of performing information input on the panel using the input devices 10a, 10b, and 10c described above can be regarded as "by contacting the input l〇a, l〇b, 10c with the capacitive touch. The panel, and the position on the touch is input as a special input method. <Description of Aggregate of Input Device> Next, an assembly of the input device 10 will be described. Figs. 3(a) to 3(c) are diagrams for explaining an aggregate of the input devices β to 3. Here, Fig. 3(a) is a view for explaining a first example of the set of input devices 1A. The aggregate 1A shown in Fig. 3(a) is an assembly in which the input device 1 is placed in the thickness direction thereof. Next, the input device 1A is formed by laminating the spacer layer 13 to form an aggregate 1〇〇. By forming the above-mentioned, in the case of circulating (transporting) the input device 10, it can be used as a touch-collecting or a touch-insulation to form a laminated form of the first body of the touch panel panel spoon-16. - 201218057 1 0 0 and circulated in an integrated form. Next, the user who uses the input device 1 剥 can strip the input device 10 one by one from the assembly 100, and use the input device 10 by being attached to the writing instrument 20 or the finger 30 as a support. Further, Fig. 3(b) is a view for explaining a second example of the assembly of the input device 10. The assembly 200 shown in Fig. 3(b) is an assembly 200 by combining the input devices 10 having a trapezoidal shape of 0 into a planar shape. In the present embodiment, a joint is formed between the respective input devices 10, and the input devices 10 are combined in this manner. Next, the user using the input device 10 can separate the input device 10 by tearing apart the portion of the seam from the assembly 200, and then attaching it to the writing instrument 20 or the finger 30 as a support. The input device 10 is used. In the present embodiment, the assembly 200 can be formed in a strip shape by bonding the directions of the respective input devices 10 to each other. Next, Q can be circulated (transported) in the form of winding the belt-shaped assembly 200. Further, FIG. 3(c) is a view showing a third example of the assembly of the input device 1A. The aggregate 3 00 shown in Fig. 3(c) is an aggregate 300 by the cylindrical input device 10b. By forming the above-described form, the user 'the user using the input device 10b can be stripped of the input device 10b from the aggregate 3, and attached to the writing instrument 20 or the finger 3 as a support. 0 'and use the input device〗 〇b. Further, in this form, it is not necessary to rewind the writing instrument 20 or the finger 30 as a support when it is mounted on -17-201218057. Therefore, the user can immediately use the input device l〇b. The input device 10 is formed into an assembly as described above, and the user can carry the assembly, and the alternative input device 10 can be prepared immediately even if the input device 10 is lost. Therefore, even if the user loses the input device 10, the means for inputting to the touch panel is not lost.
