An electronic device including a switch member which has a multiplicity of switch contacts provided thereon, a film liquid crystal display unit disposed above the switch member and having openings provided at positions opposite to the respective switch contacts, and operation members disposed in the corresponding openings so as to depress the operation members from above the film liquid crystal display. By the depression of the respective operation members, the corresponding switch contacts are switched. According to this structure, the switching operations are performed on the film liquid crystal display unit, so that the operability of the switches is improved and the device itself is miniaturized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electronic device with a miniaturized liquid crystal display unit improved in operability.
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided an electronic device comprising: a device casing having a through hole therein; an operation button disposed in the through hole in the casing; a switch member disposed below the operation button and switched by the depression of the button; and a film liquid crystal display unit disposed around the periphery of the operation button and having the contents of display thereof controlled by the switching operation of the switch member.
