ABSTRACT:
There is provided an input apparatus which makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the apparatus on which it is mounted while improving the ease of use through its jog dial functionality. On a joint section for allowing a first housing and a second housing to be opened to a predetermined angle is provided the input apparatus (jog dial function section) that functions as a jog dial. This input apparatus is formed on at least a part of a cylindrical section of a structure in which the cylindrical section, which is part of the second housing, is fitted between a pair of shoulder portions of the first housing. As used above, “at least a part” refers to an area that can be touched by a user's finger when the first housing and the second housing are opened.
