ABSTRACT:
A display switch includes switch elements disposed on a display which is capable of electrically changing images displayed thereon. Above the switch elements are disposed a plurality of buttons formed of a transparent material and supported by a frame member. A depression is formed in each of at least two opposite side surfaces of each button, and the frame member has flange portions that engage with the depressions in order to limit movement of the buttons. Also, elastic members are disposed under the buttons in order to allow each button to move during operation while imparting a feel to a user and to automatically return the button to its original position.
