Claim 8:
9. A response force display device for operation by a user, the response force display device comprising:
an at least one sensor that detects an operation performed by a user;
a display unit;
a supporting member;
a supporting mechanism that movably supports the display unit relative to the supporting member;
a response force providing mechanism that provides a response force to the display unit;
a lock mechanism unit that disables and enables relative movement of the display unit with respect to the supporting member; and
a controller that releases locking of the lock mechanism unit to enable relative movement of the display unit with respect to the supporting member when input of the user is detected by the at least one sensor, and after the lock mechanism unit is released, the response force providing mechanism operates, such that when the display unit is not operated, the risk of damage and the occurrence of noise due to unexpected movement of the display unit can be prevented, and when the display unit is operated, operation feeling can be provided to the user at desirable timing.
