Abstract

A sliding device and an electronic device using this sliding device are provided, wherein an elastic part that can be conveniently mass produced is developed, which has heretofore been unattained, and mass productivity and cost effectiveness are improved using this elastic part. The sliding device is configured such that one end and another end of an elastic part (3) are linked respectively to a slidable first member (1) and second member (2), and an urging force in the sliding direction is created between the first member (1) and the second member (2) by the elastic urging of the elastic part (3). In this sliding device, the elastic part (3) is an elastically bendable flat-plate bendable elastic part (3) that has linking end parts (3b) for linking respectively with the first member (1) and second member (2) at both ends of a flat-plate part (3a) having a flat wire shape, a frame shape, or another thin plate shape, and that is configured so that the flat-plate part (3a) can be elastically and bendably deformed in the direction of the plate surface so that the linking end parts (3b) at both ends move towards and away from each other.
