Patent ID: 8743327

Claim:
An input device comprising: a single-layer flexible transparent base having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a transparent electrode formed on the first surface of the single-layer flexible transparent base, the transparent electrode being disposed in a transparent input region; a decorative layer formed on the second surface of the single-layer flexible transparent base, the decorative layer being disposed in a decorative region surrounding the transparent input region, the decorative region being non-light-transmissive; and a transparent panel bonded to the second surface of the single-layer flexible transparent base, with an optically clear adhesive layer interposed therebetween; and a wiring layer extending from an end of the transparent electrode and formed on the first surface within the decorative region, wherein a surface of the transparent panel opposite to a surface facing the optically clear adhesive layer serves as an operation surface, and wherein in the decorative region on the second surface side of the single-layer flexible transparent base, the optically clear adhesive layer is interposed between the decorative layer and the transparent panel, such that the decorative layer, the optically clear adhesive layer, and the transparent panel are laminated in this order from the second surface of the single-layer flexible transparent base.
