Abstract

A ferroelectric liquid crystal touch panel includes a ferroelectric liquid crystal panel including counterposed electrodes and a ferroelectric liquid crystal positioned between the electrodes; a position detector for detecting a pushed position on the ferroelectric liquid crystal through the electrodes by means of an electromotive force generated when the ferroelectric liquid crystal is pushed; a display control circuit for controlling a display state of the ferroelectric liquid crystal through the electrodes; a sound generation control circuit for supplying a sound generation signal to the electrodes so that the ferroelectric liquid crystal panel generates a sound in correspondence thereto; and a selection circuit for selectively connecting the position detector, the display control circuit and the sound generation control circuit to the electrodes.
