An image input/output device 100 includes an image information detection
section 130 for detecting image information of an image information
object 200 by receiving reflected light L from the image information
object 200, and a self-luminous image display section 120 for displaying
an image based on the image information detected by the image information
detection section 130. The image information detection section 130 and
the self-luminous image display section 120 are attached together in a
back-to-back arrangement. The self-luminous image display section 120
functions as an image-information-detecting light source for irradiating
the image information object 200 with light L through the image
information detection section 130.
