Patent attributes
A touch input device includes: a touch plate having a first surface facing in a first direction, and a second surface facing in a second direction opposing the first direction; at least one elastic member connected to the second surface of the touch plate, and deformed in at least one of the first direction and the second direction when a touch is applied to the first surface of the touch plate; and a plurality of sensors connected to the at least one elastic member and detecting when the elastic member is deformed to sense the touch. The plurality of sensors are disposed to be inwardly spaced apart from end edges of the touch plate, and output a first signal when a sensor among the plurality of sensors senses that one point of the touch plate is pulled in the first direction and a second signal when the one point of the touch plate is pushed in the second direction, and the touch plate has a plurality of touch areas divided by a plurality of imaginary lines connecting the plurality of sensors to each other virtually.
