An information display system in which information can be referred to without
a power supply anytime and anywhere like information recorded on paper, and in
which information can be rewritten repeatedly, and such information can be outputted
instantaneously and in large numbers. An image accepted by an image input unit
(1 in FIG. 1) is converted by a signal processing unit (11)
into a data format for writing the image into a display unit (3). An information
sending unit (12) controls plural display elements (3-1 to
3-N), and it sends the information to-be-displayed to the plural display
elements (3-1 to 3-N) in parallel through a connector array
(13). Thus, the image accepted by the image input unit (1) can be
instantaneously displayed on the multiple display elements (3-1 to
3-N). The display elements (3-1 to 3-M) have storability.
Therefore, even when the display elements (3-1 to 3-N) have
been detached from the connector array (13), the displayed images are kept
as they are, and they can be referred to anytime and anywhere.
