これらのフォースフィードバック型タッチパネルは、対向する両面に一対の駆動電極が固着された圧電基板を、直接もしくは、駆動電極を介して、可動板又は支持基板に固着し、タッチパネルの入力操作面への押圧を検出した際に、一対の駆動電極に駆動電圧が印加されて伸縮する圧電基板により可動板又は支持基板を振動させている。
また、特許文献3では、加振ドライバが矩形の可動板の隅部に配置される構成であるので、一方向の振動が規制されることはないが、振動を大きくしたいときには、加振ドライバの数を増やす必要があった。
また、パネル部材の凹状溝部内に振動素子を取付けると、パネル部材の凹状溝部の深さの分だけ厚みが減ることとなるので、振動素子を含むパネル部材全体の厚みを薄くすることができる。その結果、パネル部材付き電子機器の小型化、軽量化を図ることもできる。
本発明に係わるパネル部材は、携帯電話機、スマートフォン、PDA、カーナビゲーション装置、デジタルカメラ、デジタルビデオカメラ、遊技機等のようなモバイル機器に用いられる。ここでは、パネル部材として携帯電話機に用いられる保護パネルを例示して説明する。
図1~図3に示すように、パネル部材の一例である保護パネル4を有する携帯電話機1は、前面に表示窓2Aなどが形成された合成樹脂製の筐体2に、液晶又は有機ELなどの表示部3Aを有する表示装置3、その表示装置3の表面を被覆し保護する保護パネル4、及び、複数の入力キー5などを備えて構成されている。
これによって、抵抗膜方式のタッチ入力機能を有する保護パネル4が得られる。
(1)上記実施形態1では、パネル部材の一例である、表示装置を被覆する保護パネルについて説明したが、本発明に係るパネル部材は、必ずしも表示装置を被覆する必要はなく、例えば、表示装置を有さない平板状の電卓操作面やコンピュータのキーボード等にも用いることができる。
