Next, the electronic book device according to the second embodiment will be described. The electronic book device of the second embodiment is configured by a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element array at two corners of the frame 1 of the optical input mechanism (S2).

In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the writing paper for writing is first fixed to the lower side of the optical input mechanism S2 (the back side of the paper) or the frame 1 as in the first embodiment. Inside the box. Then, when scanning is performed in the detection area while the front end of the writing instrument such as a pen is dropped to a portion of the touch sensitive area T exposed from the frame, the front end of the writing instrument is interrupted by the inside of the frame. a portion of the cross-shaped light is detected by the light-receiving elements of the camera modules C1 and C2, and then the track of the front end (writing information of notes, etc.) is detected simultaneously with the writing. The trajectory is output as digital data (electronic data) to the electronic book terminal E', and is also stored in the memory mechanism μ. According to the electronic book device of the second embodiment having the above-described optical wheel-in mechanism 82, similarly to the electronic book device of the first embodiment, the display D of the electronic book terminal device E is not damaged when it is input. . Further, not only the touch region T has no electrical contact, but also has excellent durability and is less susceptible to dust or dirt.
