Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an input device/display device used in a character input device, and more particularly to an input device/display device suitable for an input device equipped with an input data display device.

In recent years, computer systems have been widely used to improve the efficiency of processing documents such as documents and newspapers.

This involves inputting the contents of a manuscript into a computer using a character input device such as a keyboard or tablet, performing proofreading work, etc., and then creating a copy or original version of the document.

Generally, the character input machine is equipped with a document table for placing a document and a data display device, such as a CRT display or a panel type display, and has a button.
The system is configured so that the operator can check the data he/she has input.

However, in conventional character input machines, the data display device and the document table are provided in separate locations so that the data display device does not block the document table.

Therefore, when confirming input data, the operator has to move his or her head to move his/her line of sight between the document table and the data display device.

Therefore, the longer the distance the line of sight travels, the longer the work time will be.In addition, when inputting a large amount of characters, such as when editing a newspaper, the above-mentioned neck movements will be required. As the work continues, fatigue gradually increases, resulting in a disadvantage that work efficiency decreases.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the conventional technology, the present invention switches and displays the original and the information input by the input device within the same field of view, so that human information and the original can be compared and confirmed without moving the line of sight. Therefore, it is possible to improve work efficiency and reduce operator fatigue, and it can also be used as an input device with excellent operability, allowing documents to be taken in and out from the outside regardless of the size of the document. Its purpose is to provide a display device.

The present invention includes a document locking section equipped with a document locking position adjustment mechanism, a document display means for displaying the document locked in the document locking section, and a data display means for displaying input data. , a mirror for transmitting information of one of the display original and display data individually displayed by each of these display means and reflecting information of the other, and for switching between the input data and the original.
