Display device equipped with a touch panel

Abstract

A display device equipped with a touch panel may include a device chassis provided with an opening section, a display panel having a display surface disposed accessible through the opening section, a touch panel disposed on the display surface of the display panel and capable at least of selecting a function displayed on the display surface in response to a pressing operation on the touch panel, and a surface sheet for covering the touch panel on the opposite side to the display panel, and closing the opening section to form a substantially the same surface with the device chassis, wherein a reinforcing area for improving resistivity against pressing force applied from the outside may be provided in a predetermined range of the surface sheet.

1 . A display device equipped with a touch panel, comprising:
 a device chassis provided with an opening section;   a display panel having a display surface disposed accessible through the opening section;   a touch panel disposed on the display surface of the display panel and capable at least of selecting a function displayed on the display surface in response to a pressing operation on the touch panel; and   a surface sheet for covering the touch panel on the opposite side to the display panel, and closing the opening section to form a substantially the same surface with the device chassis,   wherein a reinforcing area for improving resistivity against pressing force applied from the outside is provided in a predetermined range of the surface sheet.
