Abstract:
An input apparatus has a touch sensor 11 configured to detect a touch input, a piezoelectric element 12 mounted on the touch sensor 11, and a control unit 15 configured to detect a pressure load on a touch face 11a of the touch sensor 11 based on an output signal of the piezoelectric element 12 and, when the pressure load detected satisfies a standard to provide a tactile sensation, to drive the piezoelectric element 12 such that the tactile sensation is provided to an object pressing the touch face 11a.
