Abstract

See full text

An input apparatus includes a display element (e.g., an LCD element) and a first sensor. The display element has a display screen of a predetermined size. The first sensor is configured to have a detection area that is smaller than the display screen, and to detect coordinates of a position pointed to in the detection area by a pointing body, such as a finger and a pen. The first sensor is coupled with the display screen such that its detection area, in which a pointing position pointed to by the pointing body is detected, maps to a predetermined display area within the display screen. The input apparatus may further include a second sensor configured to detect a pointing position pointed to by a pointing body in a full display detection area of the display screen, and the input apparatus selectively processes a detection output from the first sensor or the second sensor.
