Abstract: Disclosed is a panel operating apparatus. The panel operating apparatus changes a state of a display device electrically connected to a circuit board located below a panel. The panel operating apparatus includes a tact member mounted on the circuit board, and a resilient member electrically connected to a circuit pattern of the circuit board and separated from the panel and the circuit board. The resilient member is selectively brought into contact with the panel or the tact member depending on a degree of pressure applied to the panel, thereby allowing the apparatus to be operated in a tact manner when the apparatus cannot be operated in a touch manner due to individual features of operators or external conditions.
