Patent Images
1. A display unit of an input integral type having a liquid crystal display panel and an optical inputting means for inputting a light, said liquid crystal display pane comprising:
- a first substrate having a plurality of picture element electrodes thereon;
a second substrate arranged so as to oppose to said first substrate and having a common electrode thereon for driving liquid crystal with said picture element electrodes;
a plurality of first light waveguides arranged in parallel with each other for guiding said light inputted by said optical inputting means; and
a plurality of second light waveguides arranged in parallel with each other so as to cross with said first light waveguides respectively for guiding said light inputted by said optical inputting means;
said first light waveguides and said second light waveguides being arranged on an inner face of one of said first substrate and said second substrate,said optical inputting means inputting said light to one or a series of said first light waveguides and to one or a series of said second light waveguides simultaneously, so as to indicate a position thereof.

Abstract
A display unit of an input integral type has a display panel provided with a liquid crystal as a display medium. In the display unit, an optical waveguide is integrally formed in the shape of a matrix and approximately guides light having a predetermined wavelength in parallel with a surface of a display substrate.
