7. The input device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the film member that is adhered to the main surface of the input panel is a polarizing plate.
8. The input device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the film member is a laminate of a first resin layer and a second resin layer that is formed of a resin material having a hardness lower than that of the first resin layer.
9. The input device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the second resin layer has an opening within a planar region of the input panel.
10. The input device according to claim 8 ,
wherein a panel support is formed to protrude in a frame shape within the housing portion of the cover member to be in contact with the input panel and support the input panel.
11. An electro-optical device comprising:
an input device, the input device including
an input panel,
a cover member that is provided with a housing portion, in which the input panel is housed, and
a film member that is disposed over a main surface of the cover member and a main surface of the input panel housed in the housing portion; and
an electro-optical panel that is provided on a side of the input device opposite to the film member,
wherein the cover member is apart from the main surface of the input panel,
wherein the main surface of the cover member is substantially the same in a position as the main surface of the input panel in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the cover member,
wherein an upper surface of the film member is at least substantially planar as it extends across both the main surface of the input panel and the main surface of the cover member such there is no step formed therebetween,
wherein an outer surface of the film member has a planar surface across both the cover member and the input panel in plan view, and
wherein the electro-optical panel is fixed to the cover member, and the input panel is clamped between the electro-optical panel and the film member.
12. The electro-optical device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the film member is adhered to the main surface of the input panel and the main surface of the cover member.
13. The electro-optical device according to claim 11 ,
wherein a substrate constituting the electro-optical panel and a surface of the input device opposite to the film member are optically adhered to each other.
14. The electro-optical device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the film member is a polarizing plate.
15. The electro-optical device according to claim 11 ,
wherein a translucent elastic member is disposed between a substrate constituting the electro-optical panel and a surface of the input device opposite to the film member.
16. An electronic apparatus comprising:
an electro-optical device; and
a case member that accommodates the electro-optical device;
wherein the electro-optical device includes an input device and an electro-optical panel that is provided on a side of the input device opposite to the film member,
wherein the input device includes:
an input panel,
