Abstract: A touch panel assembly includes an enclosure, a touch panel, and a soft board. The enclosure includes a bottom portion. The bottom portion defines a first surface and a second surface. The enclosure further includes a first hook and a first positioning post extending from the first surface. The touch panel is attached on the second surface. The soft board defines a first securing hole and a first positioning hole. The first positioning post is received in the first positioning hole to prevent the soft board from moving along a first direction. The soft board is deformed by an external force to enable the first hook to pass through the first securing hole to engage with an edge of the first securing hole, thereby preventing the soft board from moving a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
