13. The 3Dimension stereoscopic display device according to claim 12, wherein said predetermined operation is at least one of said pointing object'"'"'s operation of pushing the touch surface, said pointing object'"'"'s operation of drawing a locus having a predetermined shape, and said pointing objects operation of moving up and down or rightward and leftward.

14. The 3Dimension stereoscopic display device according to claim 12, wherein when said touch panel unit detects that said pointing object exists in the detection space thereof on said icon image, when said touch panel unit detects that said pointing object exists in said detection space during the predetermined time period, or when said touch panel unit detects that said pointing object performs said predetermined operation in said detection space and in the vicinity of said detection space, said control unit determines that said icon image is going to be operated, and said screen composition processing unit generates the right-eye image or video image and the left-eye image or video image for three-dimensional stereoscopic display in which a display of said icon image which said control unit determines is going be operated by said pointing object is changed.

15. The 3Dimension stereoscopic display device according to claim 14, wherein said screen composition processing unit changes at least one of a color and a shape of said icon image, and a position of the virtual display surface for three-dimensional stereoscopic display of said icon image.

16. The 3Dimension stereoscopic display device according to claim 14, wherein said screen composition processing unit enlarges said icon image which said control unit determines is going be operated by said pointing object, and another icon image existing within a predetermined region including said icon image, or generates the right-eye image or video image and the left-eye image or video image for three-dimensional stereoscopic display in which a position of the virtual display surface for three-dimensional stereoscopic display of said icon image is changed.

17. The 3Dimension stereoscopic display device according to claim 10, wherein said screen composition processing unit generates the right-eye image or video image and the left-eye image or video image for three-dimensional stereoscopic display in which the virtual display surface for three-dimensional stereoscopic display of the icon image which is the operation target on said operation screen is set to be placed at a position forward at a distance set by a user with respect to the screen of said stereoscopic display monitor unit.
