A self-lighting type push-button input device according to the presently
disclosed subject matter can include a button base portion formed of a
transparent material. Holes can be formed in predetermined positions of
the button base portion, and spring portions can be formed integrally
with the holes by molding transparent silicone rubber with a light
diffusing agent incorporated therein. The button base portion serves as a
light conducting portion, and the spring portions can uniformly diffuse
the light distributed thereto by the light conducting portion, whereby
lighting can be effected by a reduced number of light sources, effecting
a reduction of size and cost.
