Although the interruption of the light beam at is detected as an input, the sensors 10 and 11 operate in this order, so that the information feeding direction of the information is determined as the front screen direction. At the same time, the information feed amount of information is determined according to the difference between the times when the sensors 10 and 11 start operating. For example, when the finger F on the operation surface 21 is swiftly moved, the time difference between the two sensors 10 and 11 starting to operate is small, so one page is fed out, and the slower the finger F is moved, the larger the time difference becomes. Information at once. That is, it is configured to skip and display several pages.

3 (a) and 3 (b) are a front view and a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the configuration of the sensors 10 and 11 of the information feeding input unit 101 of the information display device of the present invention, and 22 is the operation surface. Then, for example, the upper electrode 23 is formed by using polyester as a base material and the lower surface thereof is provided with the upper electrode 23. Reference numerals 24 and 25 are lower electrodes formed in the first-stage concave portions, and 26 is a lower electrode formed in the second-stage concave portion.

The operation will be described below.

For example, when the finger F is lightly pressed on the operation surface 22 as shown in FIG. 3 (a) and is moved from right to left, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the upper electrode 23 Then, the lower electrode 25 in the concave portion of the first stage contacts and the switch operates. Next, the upper electrode 23 and the lower electrode 24 come into contact with each other, and the switch operates. The operation order of the switches determines the direction in which the information is sent out. At the same time, since the two switches that are operated at the same time are the lower electrodes 25 and 24 of the first stage, the information is displayed page by page and the display unit 103 (first
