DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the structure of an embodiment of a picture book with an image display device according to the present invention which emits sound. Cover 2 of picture book 1 and / or
Alternatively, an image display device 4, an audio generation device 5, an image / audio storage device 6, a power supply 7, and a film 8 serving as a switch are provided on the back cover 3.
, And the text of the picture book (abbreviated) is attached to them.

The material of the front cover 2 and / or the back cover 3 is not particularly limited, but an image display device 4, a sound generating device 5, an image / sound storage device 6, and a power source 7 are provided on the front cover and / or the back cover. , Since it has a structure that has a film 8 serving as a switch, both or one of them requires a certain thickness. As a method of incorporating these components, there is a method of providing a concave portion on the thick front cover and / or the back cover and incorporating the concave portion therein, a method of mounting a bottom cover on the normal front cover and / or the back cover, and incorporating the same into the cavity. It is possible.

The image display device 4 is for displaying an image in accordance with a signal from the image / sound storage device 6, and is preferably of a thickness that can be incorporated into the front cover or the back cover of the book. Although the device is suitable, it is not particularly limited to this, and any device can be used as long as it can be provided with the above thickness and is driven by a power supply 7 described later.

The sound generator 5 generates sound based on a signal from the image / sound storage device 6, and preferably has a thickness that can be incorporated into the front cover or the back cover of the book. Although a speaker can be suitably used, the present invention is not particularly limited to this. The speaker can be provided in the above-described thickness, and can be appropriately used as long as it is driven by a power supply 7 described later.

The image / sound storage device 6 stores and reproduces a synthesized sound signal, and an IC memory circuit module in which a plurality of storage elements are combined can be used as appropriate. The image / sound storage device 6 is connected to an image display device 4, a sound generation device 5, a power supply 7, a film 8 serving as a switch, and lead wires, printed wiring, and the like.

As the power source 7, a battery, a battery or the like can be used as appropriate.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the film 8 serving as a switch. The switch according to the present invention is not connected when the picture book is closed and each page is opened, and is provided on the front display and / or the back cover by pressing a designated portion of each page of the picture book body 9. The switch below the specified location is pressed. As such a switch, there can be used a film 8 which is composed of a printed wiring 10 and a conductive printed layer 11 provided with a separate layer, and which becomes a switch to which these are connected when pressure is applied.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the cross-sectional structure of the present invention.
FIG. 3A shows that the film 8 serving as a switch is provided on the front cover and / or the back cover, and FIG.

Or it may be attached to the back cover. If the text of the picture book is detachably attached to the front cover or the back cover, the manufacturing process will be simple, and a defective product from the distribution can be easily repaired.

The structure of the present invention in which an image corresponding to a designated portion is displayed and a sound is generated by pressing the designated portion of each page will be described below with reference to FIGS. Each is an example in which a film serving as a switch is provided only on the back cover.

FIG. 5 shows a state where the front cover is opened. On the cover of the text of the picture book, there is a picture 15 indicating the designated place, and this picture 1
By pressing 5, one portion 16 of the film serving as a switch for the back cover below this is pressed. The picture 15 and one location 16 of the film have the same relative position on the page. By turning on the switch at one position 16 of the film, an image corresponding to the picture 15 is displayed and a sound is generated.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the text of the picture book is opened. In the page of the text of the picture book, there is a picture 17 indicating a designated place at a place where the relative position on the page is different from the picture 15 of FIG. 5, and when this place is pressed, a switch of the back cover below this is provided. One point 18 of the film is pressed. Here, picture 15 in FIG. 5 and picture 17 in FIG. 6 have different relative positions on the page.
The position 16 of the film in FIG. 6 is different from the position 18 of the film in FIG. Then, when the switch of one portion 18 of the film is turned on, an image corresponding to the picture 17 is displayed and sound is generated. As a result, when the picture 17 is pressed, a corresponding image is displayed and a sound is generated.

The above structure can be provided for each page. When it is desired to output a similar image and sound on a certain page and a certain page, a similar image may be displayed and sound can be output by pressing a corresponding portion of the film, or a picture indicating a designated portion may be displayed. May be provided at the same relative position of the pages, so that the pusher presses the designated portion of any of the pages to one portion of the same film, so that the same image is displayed and the sound is output.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the back cover of the text of the picture book is opened. A picture of a plurality of designated places may be provided on one page as shown in the figure on this page, or a picture showing all designated places may be provided so that all corresponding images are displayed and sound is output. good.

[0027]
