PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easy-to-manufacture switch with less position deviation of a display part regarding the switch used mainly for the control of various kinds of electronic devices inside an automobile or the like and its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: After assembling operation bodies 21, 22 and 23 where the display part is not formed in a case 4, a control circuit 37 recognizes the shapes of the respective operation bodies by a camera 32 and moves an upper tool 31 and a lower tool 30, a light non-transmission part 21C is removed by laser equipment 33, and the display parts 21A, 22A and 23A where a light transmission part 21B is exposed are formed. Thus, the easy-to-manufacture switch for which the position deviation of the display part is reduced and the need of the confirmation of display by vision during assembly or the like is eliminated and its manufacturing method are provided.
