An apparatus and method wherein a high detection sensitivity to light irradiated from the outside can be assured, in which each pixel of an I/O display apparatus can perform a light emitting action for displaying an image and a light receiving action for detecting light irradiated from the outside. In the light emitting action, a switch is switched on to cause an electroluminesence element to emit light. In the light receiving action, the switch is switched off so that charge generated by the electroluminesence element in response to reception of light from the outside is accumulated into a parasitic capacitor. This state is maintained for a predetermined period of time, within which all charge generated by the electroluminesence element is accumulated into the parasitic capacitor. After the period of time, the charge in the parasitic capacitor is extracted to detect the input light from the outside.
