Different modulation signals are generated corresponding to each of the six light sources. For example, the modulation signal of the light emitted from a 43-dish light source is different from the modulation signal applied to the light of any other light source. 48
．． A demodulator 52 demodulates the modulated signals received by the light receiving elements 47 and 51, respectively. Reference numerals 49 and 53 are correlators or decoders, which correspond to the respective light receiving elements and have a function of detecting only the modulated signal assigned to each light receiving element. Reference numerals 50 and 54 are correlation detection outputs, which generate outputs when light is not blocked on the display surface. Judgment section 55

徴とする指触人力方式A plurality of light sources are arranged linearly at one end of a display surface for displaying information in a direction opposite to the display surface, and a plurality of light receiving elements are arranged linearly at the other end of the display surface opposite to said one end. When the light that should be input to the light receiving element is cut off by a finger or a substance that does not allow light to pass through, the light emitted from the light source is brought into contact with an arbitrary place on the display surface. By knowing the position of the light-receiving element in the array where the human power light was cut off among the arrayed light-receiving elements, the position of the finger touching the display surface or the light blocking object can be determined from the light source on the display surface. In this method, a specific modulation is applied to the light emitted from the light source, and the light receiving element receives and detects only the light that has been subjected to the specific modulation.
