Abstract: An input device includes: a light source that emits light; a first sheet including a design portion; a second sheet having a conductive pattern on which the light source is mounted and in which a touch sensor electrode is disposed in a position different from the light source; a body that is sandwiched between the first sheet and the second sheet to be integral therewith, and transmits the light emitted by the light source; and a guide disposed in a light path from the light source to the design portion, the guide guiding light transmitting through an inside of the body toward the design portion and being distinguished from the body. The light source and the light guide are disposed along a surface of the second sheet on a side facing the body. The body is integral with the light source and the light guide and encapsulates them.
