Abstract
Electronic equipment includes a first operating unit having a non-electroconductive touch operating surface, a touch detecting surface disposed on a touch operating surface inner side, and an electroconductive outer cover disposed covering a perimeter of the touch operating surface. The first operating unit receives touch operations and slide operations. The touch detecting surface detects the touch operations, is divided into at least two electrode surfaces of a first electrode surface through an N'th electrode surface in a direction of the slide operations, and is electrically insulated from the outer cover by being distanced from the outer cover. The touch operating surface has a touch detection region where the touch operating surface overlaps the touch detecting surface, and a touch-non-detection region disposed on an outer periphery of the touch detection region where the touch operating surface does not overlap the touch detecting surface.
