ABSTRACT:
The display apparatus of the invention includes: a first substrate and a second substrate which are disposed so as to face each other; a display medium having variable optical characteristics sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a display circuit provided on the first substrate; and a coordinate input section for inputting coordinates of a point on the first substrate. The coordinate input section includes: a plurality of coordinate input electrodes arranged in a matrix on the first substrate; signal lines, formed on the first substrate, for supplying coordinate determination signals to the coordinate input electrodes, respectively; active elements for electrically connecting the coordinate input electrodes to the signal lines, respectively; a coordinate designating member for, when the coordinate designating member is brought near the first substrate, forming an electrostatic capacitance with at least one of the coordinate input electrodes; and a coordinate determination circuit for receiving the coordinate determination signal from the coordinate input electrode, and for determining the coordinates of a point to which the coordinate designating member comes closer, based on the received coordinate determination signal.
