Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect plural parameters in real time from one operation and to input it at the side of a control circuit by allowing a position detection means to detect the coordinate position of a depression position and allowing a pressure detection means integrated with the position detection means to detect the pressure. CONSTITUTION:When an upper insulated substrate 1 is depressed by a finger or other control unit, a position detection means 9 having a matrix electrode structure detects the depression position (X and Y coordinates). A pressure detection means 10 integrated with the means 9 detects the pressing power at the position of depression. In short, when the upper insulated substrate 1 is depressed by the finger or the like, a pressure sensitive rubber sheet 6 is also depressed. The resistance value is in proportion to the pressing power and the pressing power in the Z direction of the pressing position can be detected through upper and lower electrodes 5 and 7. Thus, two data, that is, position data and pressure data can be inputted with one depression operation. Based on these data, plural parameters can be controlled in the real time. For example, it can be adopted to electronic instrument.
