An operation switch 30 is a gaming machine operation button that receives operation inputs to a gaming machine 1, and comprises a base plate 50, an operation button unit 36, and a touch switch 31. The operation button unit 36 is supported by the base plate 50, and is used by a player to input a first operation. The touch switch 31 is provided around the outer periphery of the operation button unit 36, and is used by the player to input a second operation that is different from the first operation.

A method is specified for operating an organic optoelectronic component, which has at least one organic light-emitting element having an organic functional layer stack with at least one organic light-emitting layer between two electrodes and at least one organic light-emitting element having an organic light-detecting layer. These elements are arranged on a common substrate in laterally adjacent area regions. The at least one organic light-detecting element detects ambient light, which is incident onto the organic optoelectronic component. The intensity of the light emitted by the at least one organic light-emitting element is regulated depending on a signal of the at least one organic light-detecting element with a characteristic signal form.

An object of the present invention is to provide an organic EL module that achieves a reduction in size and thickness, that has a high touch-sensing accuracy, and that is applicable to smart devices, and a smart device equipped with the same. The organic EL module of the present invention includes: an organic EL panel having a connecting electrode; and an electrical connecting unit laminated on the organic EL panel, wherein the electrical connecting unit has a flexible substrate and a capacitive sensing circuit provided on the flexible substrate and having a land, the electrical connecting unit is provided on a light-emitting surface side of the organic EL panel, the electrical connecting unit has a light-permeable part and a bent part formed by making two or more cuts in at least one side of the light-permeable part, and the land constituting the sensing circuit and the connecting electrode of the organic EL panel are electrically connected to each other at the bent part.
