Information device
First Claim
1. An information device comprising:
- a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix shape, each of the plurality of pixels comprising an EL element and a photoelectric conversion element over a same substrate;
a means for making the EL element emit light;
an input pen for reflecting a light emitted by the EL element and for inputting the light to the photoelectric conversion element of a portion of pixels among the plurality of pixels; and
a means for detecting coordinates of the portion of the pixels.

Abstract
Problems exist in areas such as image visibility, endurance of the device, precision, miniaturization, and electric power consumption in an information device having a conventional resistive film method or optical method pen input function. Both EL elements and photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in each pixel of a display device in an information device of the present invention having a pen input function. Information input is performed by the input of light to the photoelectric conversion elements in accordance with a pen that reflects light by a pen tip. An information device with a pen input function, capable of displaying a clear image without loss of brightness in the displayed image, having superior endurance, capable of being miniaturized, and having good precision can thus be obtained.
