DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention has been made to eliminate the above problems, and therefore a first object of the invention is to provide an input-output unit that can provide excellent viewability of operation information and virtual operation buttons displayed on an information input display, can be free of the fear of breakage when the information input display is operated, and can be manufactured at low costs.
A second object of the invention is to provide an input-output unit that can reliably prevent liquid crystal orientation destruction, etc.
, caused when a display unit such as an image display panel is pressed, and can also reliably perform the input operation of an input unit if the image display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel is placed on the top of a pressure-sensitive input unit of switch devices, etc.
, for making display on the display screen of the image display panel easy to see and providing excellent viewability of images displayed on the display screen.
In order to solve the above problems, according to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an input-output unit comprising a display unit for displaying information on a bondable display screen and a pressure-sensitive input unit containing means being provided below the display screen for detecting a position on the display screen In response to press pressure from a view side of the display screen.
In a second aspect of the invention, in the input-output unit of the first aspect of the invention, the display screen and the detection means therebelow are like a sheet.
In a third aspect of the invention, in the input-output unit of the first aspect, the display screen contains any of a liquid crystal display panel, an electroluminescence panel, or a twisting ball panel display.
For, example, the twisting ball panel display comprises a large number of minute spheres each with a half colored black dispersed in liquid for inverting an image and displaying the resulting image by rotating the minute spheres by an electric field or a magnetic field, as disclosed in U
