Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: an exterior body; a pressure-sensitive sensor having a first surface and a second surface; a support body supporting the pressure-sensitive sensor such that the exterior body faces the first surface; and a first deformation layer disposed at least either between the first surface and the exterior body or between the second surface and the support body. The pressure-sensitive sensor includes a capacitive sensor electrode unit including a sensing unit, a reference electrode layer, and a second deformation layer disposed between the reference electrode layer and the sensor electrode unit. The first deformation layer and the second deformation layer satisfy a predetermined relationship.
