INPUTTING/OUTPUTTING APPARATUS AND METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An inputting/outputting apparatus and method is disclosed wherein the position of an object which is in contact with or in the proximity of the apparatus can be detected with a high degree of accuracy with a simple structure without deteriorating the picture quality while the convenience in use is assured. Each pixel of a display section includes a display cell and a light reception cell. Emission of light of the display cell is controlled so that it blinks by a number of times per unit time corresponding to the number of frames per unit time. Reception of light by the light reception cells is controlled such that the amount of light incoming to all light reception cells is acquired within one light emission period and also within one no-light emission period. The invention can be applied to an image display apparatus.
