ABSTRACT:
A high-precision input device which has less delay in signal transmission and can sense a plurality of input signals is provided. This input device includes a planar first input area and a second input area annularly formed around the periphery of the first input area. The input device outputs different signals when beating inputs are applied to the input areas. The surface of the first input area is almost entirely covered by a sheet-like first input sensor that is divided into left-side and right-side sensors. A plurality of second input sensors are arranged annularly in the second input area and they are connected to a conductive section. The conductive section is connected to a plurality of bypass members provided for the second input sensors so that the input device is provided with a plurality of paths for transmitting signals from each of the second input sensors.
