Abstract: An input device includes a support base, a sensor unit including electrode portions, an extended portion extending outward from the support base, a lead-out wire in conduction with the electrode portions, a grounding wire adjacent to the lead-out wire, the lead-out wire and the grounding wire being along a first major surface of the extended portion, and a reinforcement plate on a part of a second major surface opposite to the first major surface and on the side of the support base from the tip. When viewed from a normal direction of the second major surface, the grounding wire is greater than the lead-out wire, an end-portion projection line formed by a support-base-side end portion of the reinforcement plate is nonlinear, and a most-protruding location in the end-portion projection line closest to the support base overlaps the grounding wire.

Abstract: An input device has a film sensor and a cover member having a convex surface. The film sensor includes: a support substrate that has a film-like main body and an extending portion extending from an end of the main body toward the outside; a plurality of electrode portions provided on a surface of the main body; and lead patterns that extend from the main body to the extending portion and are electrically continuous to the plurality of electrodes. A surface of the main body, the surface being on the same side as the plurality of electrode portions, is attached to the convex surface through an adhesive layer. An end adhesive area, in the adhesive layer, positioned on the same side as the extending portion, has lower adhesiveness than a central adhesive area, in the adhesive layer, positioned on the same side as the central portion of the convex surface.

Abstract: A touch panel is configured such that a plastic cover and a film sensor are laminated so that the resin flowing direction of the plastic cover and the resin flowing direction of the film sensor are not parallel to each other in plan view in the laminating direction. The touch panel is prevented from being degraded in design and becoming nonuniform in sensitivity because of the occurrence of warping, thereby maintaining its appearance and function well under a high-temperature environment.

The edge of one side of the film substrate requiring a notch for connector insertion are provided with other notches having the same depth as that of the notch for connector insertion, thereby notching most of the edge to the same depth.
