Electronic device
View Patent ↗An electronic device includes a device body, a touch panel which having a front side and a reverse side, a vibration unit that is disposed on the reverse side and vibrates the touch panel, and a flexible member that is disposed on an inside and on the reverse side of the touch panel, the flexible member connecting the device body and the reverse side of the touch panel in a watertight manner and being flexibly deformed upon vibration of the touch panel.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a device body;
a touch panel having a front side and a reverse side, the reverse side facing the device body;
a vibrator disposed on the reverse side and configured to vibrate the touch panel; and
a flexible member that is entirely disposed between the reverse side of the touch panel and the device body, the flexible member connecting the device body and the reverse side of the touch panel in a watertight manner and being flexibly deformed upon vibration of the touch panel;
wherein the entirety of the flexible member is located directly beneath the reverse side of the touch panel.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the flexible member includes a deformation portion of the flexible member that is flexibly deformed upon vibration of the touch panel, and a body connection portion of the flexible member that connects the deformation portion and the device body to each other, the body connection portion being disposed on the reverse side of the touch panel.
3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein
the body connection portion and the deformation portion are entirely disposed on an inner peripheral side with respect to a peripheral edge of the touch panel when viewed from the front side of the touch panel.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the flexible member includes
a deformation portion of the flexible member that is flexibly deformed upon vibration of the touch panel, and
a panel connection portion of the flexible member that connects the deformation portion and the touch panel to each other, the panel connection portion being disposed outside the deformation portion when viewed from a front surface side of the touch panel.
5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the panel connection portion has a thickness that is larger than that of the deformation portion and that of the body connection portion.
