Abstract
A multi-touch and proximate object sensing apparatus using a sensing array is provided. The multi-touch and proximate object sensing apparatus may sense a touch image or a target image by sensing an invisible light which is projected to a diffuser through the sensing array. Also, the multi-touch and proximate object sensing apparatus may display an image on a display panel by controlling a location of the sensing array and a visible light source, without a backlight unit.
