Abstract

An image display device according to the embodiment includes a display screen, an operation input unit, a control unit, and a notification unit. The display screen displays an image using a display mechanism in which scanning can be optically performed in a copy machine. The operation input unit is arranged at a position of being operated in a state in which a display screen is placed on a glass original document table so as to face the glass original document table of a copy machine, and receives an operation input of a user. When a plurality of images are set to display targets in the display screen, the control unit switches an image displayed on the display screen according to the operation input of a user with respect to the input operation unit. The notification unit notifies of switching of an image when the image displayed on the display screen is switched.

Claims

1. An image display device comprising:

a display screen which is arranged on one surface of a housing and displays a page image using a display mechanism in which scanning can be optically performed in a copy machine;

an operation input unit which is arranged on the other surface of the housing and receives an operation input of a user for switching a page image displayed on the display screen among a plurality of pages images set as a scanning target;

a control unit which switches a page image displayed on the display screen among the plurality of page images according to the operation input; and

a notification unit which notifies of switching of a the image when the image displayed on the display screen is switched.

2. The device according to claim 1,

wherein the notification unit notifies of switching of a page image displayed on the display screen using sound.

3. The device according to claim 1,

wherein the notification unit is a light, and notifies of switching of a the image displayed on the display screen using lighting or blinking of the light.

4. The device according to claim 1,

wherein the notification unit is arranged on a face on the opposite side to the display screen, and is a rear surface display screen on which information denoting a page image displayed on the display screen is displayed.

5. The device according to claim 4,

wherein the rear surface display screen is a touch panel, and

wherein the operation input unit is displayed as a page image on the rear surface display screen.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the operation input unit is a physical key.

7. An image display device comprising:

a display screen which displays a page image using a display mechanism in which scanning can be optically performed in a copy machine;

an optical sensor which is arranged at the periphery of the display screen on a plane including the display screen, and detects brightness of a predetermined threshold value or more;

a control unit which switches a page image displayed on the display screen from a first page image among a plurality of page images set as scanning target to a second page image among a plurality of page images set as scanning target, when the optical sensor detects brightness of the predetermined threshold value or more; and

a notification unit which notifies of switching of a page image when the image displayed on the display screen is switched.

8. The device according to claim 7,

wherein the notification unit notifies of switching of a page image displayed on the display screen using sound.

9. The device according to claim 7,

wherein the notification unit is a light, and notifies of switching of a page image displayed on the display screen using lighting or blinking of the light.

10. The device according to claim 7,

wherein the notification unit is a rear surface display screen which is arranged on a face opposite to the display screen, and displays an image denoting a page image displayed on the display screen.

11. An image display device comprising:

a display screen which is arranged on one surface of a housing and displays an image using a display mechanism in which scanning can be optically performed in a copy machine;

a communication unit which controls a communication with an external device;

a control unit which switches an image displayed on the display screen when the communication unit receives an instruction of switching an image displayed on the display screen from the external device; and

an external display screen which is arranged on the other surface of the housing and displays a same image displayed on the display screen.

12. The device according to claim 11,

wherein the notification unit notifies of switching of a page image displayed on the display screen using sound.

13. The device according to claim 11,

wherein the notification unit notifies of switching of a page image displayed on the display screen using lighting or blinking of a light.
