Abstract

Disclosed herein is an electrooptic device having an input function including: an electrooptic panel; a touch panel having an input position detecting electrode in an input area aligned to an image display area of the electrooptic panel; and a wiring board connected to any one of the electrooptic panel and the touch panel, the wiring board having a touch sensor located outside the input area of the touch panel as viewed from an input surface of the touch panel.

Claims (20)

1. An electrooptic device having an input function comprising:

an electrooptic panel;

a touch panel having an input position detecting electrode in an input area aligned to an image display area of the electrooptic panel; and

a wiring board connected to the touch panel, the wiring board having a touch sensor located outside the input area of the touch panel as viewed from an input surface of the touch panel,

wherein the wiring board includes

a first wiring board connected to the touch panel and having a first touch sensor, and

a second wiring board connected to the touch panel and having a second touch sensor;

the first and second wiring boards are electrically connected to each other via a wiring that is provided to the touch panel and that carries a signal to and/or from the second touch sensor;

the wiring is located outside the input area;

a common driving IC is disposed on the first wiring board; and

the signal between the second touch sensor and the common driving IC is transmitted via the wiring and the first wiring board.

2. The electrooptic device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein:

the touch panel has a translucent board forming the input surface; and

the input position detecting electrode and the touch sensor are located on the back side of the translucent board opposite to the input surface.

3. The electrooptic device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first touch sensor is located along one end of the input area; and

the second touch sensor is located along the other end of the input area opposite to the first touch sensor.

4. The electrooptic device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein the first wiring board is electrically connected to the input position detecting electrode.

5. The electrooptic device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein the first touch sensor and the second touch sensor are electrically connected to the common driving IC.

6. The electrooptic device having an input function according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first wiring board is different from a shape of the second wiring board.
