- the second base formed and the sensor film in which a translucent electrode was formed on the translucent resin film were prepared, and the sensor film was sandwiched between the first base and the second base. It is characterized by comprising: a laminating step forming a flat laminate, and a bending step forming a curved laminate maintaining a curved shape by curving the flat laminate.

- the curved shape can be formed in a state in which sufficient adhesion between the sensor film and the first base and the second base is secured.
- the curved laminate has a non-lamination region where the second base material is not provided in the laminating direction, and the laminating step includes a lead-out wire provided with a lead wire electrically connected to the electrode of the sensor film
- the method may include extending the part from the non-laminated region to the side opposite to the sensor film of the second substrate. As a result, the lead-out portion can be extended to the back surface side without handling the side surface of the input device, and it is not necessary to perform routing which causes erroneous detection.
- the bending step may include bending the flat laminate by heating.
- the flat laminate can be curved by heating to form a curved shape.
- the bending step may include maintaining the curved shape by the second temperature after bending the flat laminate at the first temperature. Thereby, it can carry out from the curve of a flat laminated body to maintenance of a curve shape by temperature change of 1st temperature and 2nd temperature.
- the bending step is to deform the first base disposed on the front side of the sensor film in a convex manner and the second base disposed on the back side of the sensor film in a concave manner
- the thickness of the substrate may be thinner than the thickness of the first substrate.
- the ratio of the thickness of the second substrate to the thickness of the first substrate is preferably less than 0.5, and more preferably 0.25 or less.
- the laminating step may include laminating a decorative film on the side opposite to the sensor film of the first base material to form a flat laminate.
- the curved laminated body containing a decorating film can be comprised in the state which ensured sufficient adhesiveness of a decorating film and a 1st base material by the flat laminated body containing a decorating film.
- the laminating step may include sandwiching the decorative film between the first base material and the sensor film to form a flat laminate.
- a curved laminated body can be comprised in the state which included the decoration film in the flat laminated body.
- the decoration film according to the aspect of the input device can be affixed separately.
- affixing process may include covering the side end surface of a curved laminated body by the edge part of a decoration film.
- a decoration part may be provided in a part of surface of the 1st substrate. Thereby, a decoration part can be provided only in a required part in the surface of the 1st substrate.
- the flat laminate may include an intermediate member disposed outside the sensor film between the first base and the second base.
- the intermediate member is an OCA (optically transparent adhesive) or a thermosetting adhesive.
- the input device includes a first base material provided in a curved shape with a translucent synthetic resin, a second base material provided with a translucent synthetic resin in a curved shape, And a sensor film provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the translucent resin film is provided with the translucent electrode, and the first substrate, the second substrate and the sensor

It is preferable that the intermediate member also have a function of fixing the first base and the second base.
- the first base disposed on the front side of the sensor film is provided in a convex shape, and the second base disposed on the rear side of the sensor film is provided in a recessed state
- the thickness of the substrate may be thinner than the thickness of the first substrate.
