Abstract

A touch input device is disclosed. In one aspect, the device includes a body, a conductive net and an elastic member. The body includes a conductive area with one open end. The conductive net covers a conductive area of the body and intersected with a plurality of conductive lines in a mesh shape. The elastic member is received in the body and supports the conductive net.

Claims (16)

1. A touch input device comprising:

a body including a conductive area with one open end;

a conductive net covering the conductive area of the body and comprising a plurality of conductive lines in a mesh shape that cross each other; and

an elastic member included in the body and supporting the conductive net, wherein the elastic member is thicker than the conductive net.

2. The touch input device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an iris configured to control the size of the conductive area; and

an iris controller configured to control the iris.

3. The touch input device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive net is fixed to one end portion of the body.

4. The touch input device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive net is electrically connected to a ground part.

5. The touch input device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive net is formed of a material having a predetermined conductivity and flexibility.

6. A touch input device comprising:

a body including a conductive area with one open end;

a conductive net covering the conductive area of the body and comprising a plurality of conductive lines in a mesh shape that cross each other; and

an elastic member included in the body and supporting the conductive net,

wherein the elastic member contains air or oil inside thereof and maintains the elasticity due to the pressure of air or oil.

7. The touch input device according to claim 6 , further comprising an oil pressure pump configured to control inner pressure of the elastic member.
