TOUCH PANEL SWITCH

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide what can make an effective usable area larger regarding a touch panel switch in which surface electrodes are made to be opposed. SOLUTION: A pressure-sensitive adhesive 5 is coated on a prescribed part of an upper insulating sheet 1, an elastic layer 7 is piled upon and installed at the pressure-sensitive adhesive 5 and pasted with a lower insulating substrate 3. Because the insulating layer 7 has the elasticity, even if the upper insulating sheet 1 is pressurized in the vicinity of the pasted part of the upper insulating sheet 1 and the lower insulating substrate 3, the insulating layer 7 is deformed in a direction to reduce thickness in accordance with bending of the upper insulating sheet 1 and reduces deforming stress on a movable electrode 2 on a lower face of the upper insulating sheet 1, functional deterioration of the movable electrode 2 can be suppressed, a region possible to be used as a switch contact point can be spread, and an effective usable area can be made larger.
