Abstract
A light-transmitting substrate configuring an input device has a light-transmitting region where electrode parts and light-transmitting wiring parts are formed, and a light-non-transmitting region where light-non-transmitting wiring parts are formed. The light-transmitting region surrounded by an upper end side, both lateral sides, and a bonding boundary part (bend part) is bonded to a panel. The light-non-transmitting region of the substrate is bent inward of a housing from the bonding boundary part (bend part) as a start point, and is connected to a circuit board. The light-transmitting wiring parts are formed of a flexible light-transmitting conductive material layer, and hence the substrate can be bent in the light-transmitting region.
