Abstract

A liquid crystal tablet equipment which allows improvement in accuracy of coordinate measurements by removing undesirable influence of noise caused by line pulse signals applied to a liquid crystal display and allows coordinate measurement in shorter time period includes a liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal display control circuit for applying the line pulse signals at a prescribed interval to each of an array of pixels constituting the liquid crystal display, a tablet stacked on the liquid crystal display, an A/D converter receiving a coordinate signal output from the tablet, a tablet control circuit for calculating coordinate data from a digital signal output from the A/D converter, and a CPU for letting A/D converter output the digital signal after a prescribed time period from a timing of activation of the line pulse signal.
