の裏のスイッチ2のキー操作が同様に可能となる。This single-sided switch 1 is provided on both sides of a rigid or semi-rigid substrate 3, and the case 10 shown in the table is provided. By holding it in the back case 11, it constitutes a double-sided input switch that can be operated from both sides. Next, the operation of the above conventional example will be explained. When the switch is operated in the state shown in FIG. 6B, the key operation of switch 1 in the table of FIG. 4 becomes possible, and the upper liquid point 5 and the lower contact point 4 are short-circuited by pressing the finger, and switching is performed. When the switch is operated in the state shown in FIG. 6, the key operation of the switch 2 on the back side of FIG. 4 becomes possible in the same way.
このように上記従来の構成でも両面からスイッチの操作

されている。Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, 25.29 is the front side contact and the back side contact,
They are disposed on the front surface FPCj26 and the rear surface ypcao, respectively, and are held by spacers 33 so as to face each other, thereby configuring a membrane switch. A double-sided input switch is constructed by arranging a front decorative panel 27 and a back decorative panel 31 on both sides of this membrane switch, and inserting them between a rigid or semi-rigid front case 28 and a rear case 32. The switch shown in the inside of the figure can be swiveled from either the front or the back. However, since there is no rigid body to hold the membrane switch, it is necessary to appropriately design the size of the hole 34. The switch shown at part B in the figure can only be switched from the surface, and the membrane switch is held by a case 32. The switch at section C in the figure can only be switched from the back side, and the membrane switch is held by a case 28.
