     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
      With reference to the drawings, explanations will be made on the best mode for carrying out a display system of an electronic paper according to the present invention which is given a function readable as a paper and excellent in information management. It is noted that the embodiments described below are to be combined in use.  
     Embodiment 1  
       FIG. 1  is an arrangement diagram of an electronic paper display system in embodiment 1 of the invention. In  FIG. 1, 1  is a transfer apparatus,  2  is display apparatus,  4  is PC for installing an information program  3  thereon, and  5  is a cable. Transfer apparatus  1  is connected to PC by cable  5 . Meanwhile, transfer apparatus  1  and display apparatus  2  are wirelessly connected with each other. Incidentally, PC 4  and transfer apparatus  1  in this embodiment are connected by the cable but can be connected wirelessly by such means as a wireless LAN.  
      The present system basically enables to output the information prepared in PC to predetermined display apparatus  2  by way of transfer apparatus  1 . With reference to FIGS.  3  to  7 , explanation is now made in detail on the operation of the basic system shown in  FIG. 1 .  
       FIG. 3  is an interior block diagram of the transfer apparatus in embodiment 1 of the invention, wherein  11  is a CPU,  12  is a ROM/RAM as storage means,  13   a  is an PC IF to PC 4 ,  14  is an antenna drive circuit,  15   a  is an antenna, and  16  is a storage battery.  
      CPU  11  is to control the operation of transfer apparatus  1  according to the program installed on ROM/RAM  12 . Transfer apparatus  1  has PC IF  13   a  connected to PC  4  by a cable under the specification of USB2.0. Accordingly, transfer apparatus  1  does not require a power-source circuit. Power can be supplied through the cable connected to PC  4  and stored in the storage battery  16  so that driving can be effected on the power.  1 P is a direct-current power outputted from the storage battery  16 , which is to be supplied to various circuit blocks. Incidentally, although this embodiment omitted the use of a power-source circuit, power source means may be configured having an AC power-source circuit or a battery. Incidentally, although transfer apparatus  1  shown in  FIG. 1  is described connected to PC  4  through a cable because of taking an example of PC  4  as a general-purpose information processing apparatus, it can be realized by an exclusive apparatus configured with transfer apparatus  1  and PC  4  integrally.  
       FIG. 4  is an interior block diagram of the display apparatus in embodiment 1 of the invention.  21  is a CPU for controlling the operation of display apparatus  2 ,  22  is a ROM/RAM for holding/recording a control program or data,  23  is an RF converter circuit for extracting a signal out of a radio frequency received,  24  is an AC/DC converter circuit for extracting an electric energy from an electromagnetic wave received at the antenna  25  and converting it into a direct-current power,  25  is a transmission/reception antenna for communication with transfer apparatus  1 ,  26  is a storage battery for storing a direct-current power generated by the AC/DC converter circuit  24 ,  27  is a line-type recording head having a plurality of pixel electrodes for applying an electric field to an electronic paper  200   a  in a state contacted with the electronic paper  200   a  and sandwiching same with a common electrode  201 ,  28  is a record control circuit for applying a voltage to the pixel electrode of the recording head  27 ,  29  is a drive motor for moving the recording head  27  relative to the electronic paper  200   a  in a transport mechanism, not shown,  29 C is a motor drive circuit for controlling the operation of the drive motor  29 .  
      Here, the electronic paper  200   a  is to be attached to and detached from the display device  2  by means of a mechanism, not shown. The control of attachment and detachment is under management according to the information program  3 . Meanwhile, the power of the storage battery  26  is used in the operation of recording to the electronic paper  200   a.    
      The section surrounded by broken line in  FIG. 4  is a circuit configuration similar to that of the constituent elements in realizing a wireless tag, which can be made as an IC extremely small in size. However, this embodiment, because mounting a write circuit to the electronic paper  200   a  to consume power by far greater as compared to that of a wireless tag, is greatly different in basic specification as to the power-receiving antenna  25 , the AC/DC converter circuit  24  for converting the energy and the storage battery  26 . For example, the electromagnetic wave at a frequency of 1 MHz is efficiently received to extract at the antenna  25  a low AC voltage to be converted by boost into a DC voltage of  25 V. The power is stored on a two-layered electric capacitor that is utilized as a storage battery  26 . Incidentally, the storage battery  26  may incorporate therein a control circuit for extracting a stable voltage.  
       FIG. 5 ( a ) is a sectional view of the electronic paper in embodiment 1 of the invention, showing a structure that the electronic paper  200   a  is made by an electrophoretic-schemed electronic paper in the prior art.  FIG. 5 ( b ) is a plan view of the electronic paper in embodiment 1 of the invention  200 M is a microcapsule having the function of electronic ink.  200 S are light-transmissive sheets sandwiching the microcapsules  200 M.  200 T is a non-conductive binder for bonding the microcapsules  200 M on the sheet  200 S.  
      Here, the microcapsule  200 M is charged with a plurality of particles and a suspension fluid dyed. The particles have an optical reflective characteristics and contrasted electrophoretic natures. For example,  200 K uses a black particle charged + (positive) while  200 W a white particle charged − (negative).  200 L can be comprised of a transparent suspension fluid. Incidentally, although the electronic paper in this embodiment had both surfaces made by transparent sheets  200 S, one surface may be a non-transmissive sheet or a metal-deposited sheet.  
       FIG. 6  is a sectional view showing the operation of image write to the electronic paper in embodiment 1 of the invention. By switching the polarity of the voltage applied to between one of pixel electrodes  27 S of the record head  27  arranging thereon pixel electrodes in a line form by means of the record control circuit  28 , the charged particles  200 K and  200 W are placed in electrophresis at within the microcapsule  200 M. This makes it possible to write a line-formed display image to the record head  27  at the underneath thereof. Furthermore, the record head  27  is moved in a Y-direction to thereby record the next line. Due to this, image write can be effected over the entire surface of the electronic paper  200   a.    
       FIG. 17 ( a ) is a structural view of the record head in embodiment 1 of the invention, wherein pixel electrodes  27 S are arranged at an equal interval in a line. The pixel electrodes  27 S are connected to the record control circuit  28  by way of lines, not shown.  FIG. 17 ( b ) is a sectional view of the record head in embodiment 1 of the invention, wherein the pixel electrode  27 S is present in a surface on the side to be contacted with the electronic paper.  
       FIG. 7 ( a ) is an information-program transition diagram in embodiment 1 of the invention, which is constituted by the blocks of image registration, output setting and process operation. Usually, the information program is in waiting for an event occurrence. Upon the occurrence of an event, the operation block is to be executed.  
       FIG. 7 ( b ) is a flowchart showing an operation overview in embodiment 1 of the invention. Referring to this figure, the operation is explained in detail. The user, who entered an information register mode through a menu screen, not shown, of the information program, is allowed to proceed to step S 31  where he/she registers, to PC  4 , display information, such as of images and characters, user&#39;s individual attribute information, discrete information for managing display apparatus  2 , etc. that are to be displayed on display apparatus  2 . Here, display information includes those of image information made into data by a scanner, and document information constituted by a text, a figure, a graph or a photographic picture prepared by application software. Meanwhile, user includes a use form of a plurality of persons, such as those who are on the side to view information or those who are on the side to manage/provide information. For this reason, in order to identify and manage a plurality of users, it is possible to provide diversified conveniences by managing various pieces of personal information, such as names, in-company position and authority, age, passwords for security management, and so on.  
      Then, when an output setting mode is entered by the user on PC  4  through a menu screen, not shown, of the information program  3 , the process proceeds to step S 32 . At the output setting step S 32 , the user is to make various output settings as to the information to be displayed. For example, desirable setting is made on the information to be displayed, user designation, display apparatus choice, transfer apparatus designation, display term and so on. Those pieces of output setting information are recorded and stored in PC  4  or in an external storage device  4 M connected to PC  4 .  
      Here, the information to be displayed can be prepared by processing the information registered by a previously prepared process procedure according to the personal information of the user possessing the display device or the user authenticated on PC  4 . For example, various information processes and applications are available, e.g. displaying only a part of registered information, merging a plurality of pieces of information and delimiting a display time.  
      The operation is now explained on an example with an output setting for a case of viewing the registered information of material  1 , not shown, at display apparatus ID=n by way of transfer apparatus ID=m.  
      When connected to PC  4  and supplied with power, transfer apparatus  1  at step S 11  regularly outputs the information D 1  including a discrete ID, as a predetermined signal of electromagnetic wave, through the antenna  15   a . Repeated operation is continued for display apparatus detection at steps S 11  and S 12  that is also for ID forwarding and electromagnetic wave supply. Here, in case of a detection at step S 21  by a reception power that the user carrying display apparatus  2  comes near transfer apparatus  1  and lies at a location within a distance the electromagnetic wave is to be received, display apparatus  2  receives an energy of the electromagnetic wave as a power and proceeds to step S 22  where it forwards to transfer apparatus  1  the information D 2  including a discrete ID possessed by display apparatus  2 . Transfer apparatus  1  transmits, to PC  4 , information D 3  that ID(m) of transfer apparatus  1  is included in the discrete ID of display apparatus  2  detected at the step S 12 . Display apparatus  2 , after forwarded the ID, proceeds to step S 23  where it receives an electromagnetic wave from transfer apparatus  1  and charge energy to the storage battery  26 . Subsequently, until receiving an instruction from transfer apparatus  1  at step S 24 , the process waits while repeating the ID forward at step S 22  and the charge operation at step S 23 .  
      PC  4 , at step S 33 , is sent a detection of display apparatus  2  and ID thereof from transfer apparatus  1  and detects it as an apparatus that output designation is made from the discrete information previously set for output at the step S 32 . Furthermore, when confirming that an output condition designated is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S 34  where information processing is made according to the output setting information set at the step S 32 . Here, because the output setting records a setting for outputting material  1  to display apparatus ID=n, PC  4  processes the information of material  1  stored in PC 4  or in the external storage apparatus  4 M of PC 4  into image information in a size to be displayed as an electronic paper, then proceeding to step S 35 . At step S 35 , an image output instruction is sent as information D 4  to transfer apparatus  1  of ID=m detected as display apparatus  2  of ID=n. Incidentally, where the output setting recorded does not have any setting to instruct, the process moves to an event-wait state shown in  FIG. 7 ( a ).  
      Transfer apparatus  1  at step S 13 , when receiving instruction information D 4  from PC  4 , processes the instruction. Transfer apparatus  1  detected and grasped as to whether or not display-recording apparatus  2  of ID=n lies within a range receivable by transfer apparatus  1 . When within the range, the process proceeds to step S 14  in order for instruction processing. Meanwhile, when display apparatus  2  designated is not detected, the process waits until achieving a detection while repeating the steps of from S 11  to S 12 . Because the instruction herein is to output the image of material  1  to display apparatus  2  of ID=n, the image information of material  1  is transmitted as information D 5  together with the instruction information representative of an output to display apparatus  2  of ID=n through the antenna  15   a.    
      Display apparatus  2  at step S 24 , when recognized a fact the image output instruction is for itself, stores the image information of material  1  sent together to the ROM/RAM  22 . Display apparatus  2  at step S 25  performs a display-rendering process of image depending upon the received image information, thus writing the image to the electronic paper  200   a  line by line. After completing the writing of all the information received, the process proceeds to step S 26  where a signal D 6  of instruction process completion is sent together with instruction information and ID information to transfer apparatus  1 .  
      Transfer apparatus  1  at step S 15 , after receiving an instruction completion from display device  2 , outputs a response signal through the antenna  15   a , and then moves to step S 16 . Furthermore, at step S 16 , it transmits instruction complete information D 8  at I/F  13   a  to PC  4 , and the process moves to step S 17  where to wait for a response from PC  4 .  
      PC  4 , after outputting an instruction at step S 35 , moves to step S 36  where waiting for instruction complete information D 8  from transfer apparatus. When confirming instruction complete information D 8 , a response signal D 2009  is transmitted to transfer apparatus  1 , and the process moves to step S 37 . At the step S 37 , PC 4  records the fact of completing the processes in series as a history in a not-shown storage means of within PC  4  or in an external storage device  4 M connected to PC  4 .  
      Transfer apparatus  1 , after receiving and confirming at the step S 17  the response signal D 9  from PC  4 , returns to the former step S 11 .  
      According to this structure, in the electronic paper display system of the invention, transfer apparatus  1  communicates in non-contact with display apparatus  2 , to detect a display apparatus  2 . By recognizing the personal identification information on the display side by means of the information program  3 , various data processes can be effected based on the personal identification information according to previously set/registered information and process procedure. By forwarding image information and an operation instruction to an arbitrary transfer apparatus  1 , display can be controlled/managed onto a desired display device  2 . Accordingly, after outputting setting, desired information can be displayed on arbitrary display information by merely placing display apparatus  2  close to transfer apparatus  2 . This makes it possible to provide a printing solution environment nonexistent in the conventional.  
      Furthermore, the electronic paper  200   a  is in a simple structure merely sandwiching a microcapsule as an electronic ink between sheets without having write electrodes and circuits, thus being made inexpensive, flexible and light in weight. Besides, because it can be removed from display apparatus  2 , display information can be viewed just like a paper without difficulty. Meanwhile, the electronic paper can be used for the purpose of diminishing the paper resource uselessly consumed in trial output of preparation documents because repeated writing and erasure are possible.  
      Incidentally, the present embodiment described, as information processing, the example of processing from information material  1  into image information in a size for display onto an electronic paper. However, by making diversified information processes e.g. a processing as image information to display only a part of material  1  from user&#39;s attribute, and a processing as image information by adding another piece of information to material  1 , it is possible to realize various conveniences, such as calling attentions and reconfirmation to the user and increased efficiency and advertisement effect due to information summarization.

       FIG. 2  is an arrangement diagram of an electronic paper display system in embodiment 2 of the invention. In  FIG. 2 , the same constituent elements as those of FIGS.  1  and  3  to  7 ( b ) are attached with the same references, to omit the explanations thereof.  
       FIG. 2  shows a complex system arrangement using an electronic paper display system arranging a plurality of transfer apparatuses  1  and PCs  4  within a room. In  FIG. 2, 6  is a table for resting the PC and transfer apparatus  1  thereon,  7  is a wall partitioning the room,  1 B is another form of transfer apparatus  1  which is a connection apparatus having a function of wireless connection to a network, thus constituting an electronic paper display system.  
      PC  4  connected with transfer apparatus  1  is installed thereon with an information program  3 . Note that one information program  3  serves as a master administrating the overall whereas the others are to operate under the dominance thereof by taking an association with the information program  3  set up on the master. Those associative operations are to be executed in operation block S 30  for the processing of  FIG. 7 ( a ).  
       FIG. 8  is a block diagram of the transfer apparatus in embodiment 2 of the invention. In  FIG. 8 , the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 3  use the same references, to omit the explanations thereof. Transfer apparatus  1 B are nearly in the same configuration as transfer apparatus  1 . The difference lies in that the interface circuit to the PC is a wireless communication interface circuit  13   b  compatible with wireless communication, such as of Bluetooth or Wireless LAN, as known arts, wherein there is provided a communication antenna  15   b  for the purpose thereof and further a buzzer  18  and its drive circuit  17  for issuing alert sound.  
      Transfer apparatus  1 B is in a state always connected to the network, which are under management of the information program  3  set up on the master for management of the system overall. For this reason, discrete ID information is set up in the ROM/RAM  12  as a storage device built in the transfer apparatus. This ID enables for the information program to identify the transfer apparatuses in plurality.  
       FIGS. 14 and 15  are figures of information management tables in embodiment 2 of the invention, which are tables representing an embodiment as to the information management table describing management information, in display apparatus  2  (ID=n 1 ) where executing an information processing according to the information program  3 . Information program  3  is provided with information management tables T 3  respectively for display apparatuses, in order for information management. This embodiment comprises a plurality of attributes, i.e. display attribute T 31 , output attribute T 32 , management attribute T 33  and history attribute T 34 .  
      Here, explanation is made on the content of information management table T 3 , as an example displaying in the last time the content of material  1  on display apparatus  2  (n 1 ). Display attribute T 31  is constituted with an item of final display information representative of the content currently displayed on display apparatus  2  (n 1 ), and an item of displayable term for managing a term in which the information is to be displayed. Here, material  1  is being displayed wherein recorded is information that display is possible up to the noon, Feb. 4, 2003.  
      Output attribute T 32  is constituted with an item representative of a person who output-processed the relevant information, and an item recording output apparatus ID information representative of which one of the transfer apparatus output is made from. This example records that a person of name A outputted the relevant information from transfer apparatus (ID=m 1 ).  
      Management information T 33  records a scope the display information can be taken out, and a measure against the violation thereof. For example, the scope of bringing out is established by an information manager in accordance with information content. Furthermore, this can be automatically decided by a combination of information management level setting and user&#39;s personal attribute, according to a program. History information T 34  records a history of the event information occurring on display apparatus  2  (n 2 ) in an amount of predetermined period of time (e.g. leaving the record limited up to 5 years ago). In  FIG. 14 , there is recorded the fact that material  1  has been displayed at 10:06, Feb. 3, 2003.  
      Referring to FIGS.  2 ,  7 ( b ),  14  and  15 , explanation is made in detail on the operation of the complex system arrangement shown in  FIG. 2 . In the case that display apparatus (n 1 ) outputted material  1  is taken out at 11:12, Feb. 3, 2003 into room  2  by a person of name A, this fact is detected by transfer apparatus  1 B (ID=m 4 ) provided at a doorway connecting between room  1  and room  2  and transmitted to the information program  3  of the master. The information program confirms the content of an information management table registered, from the detected ID of display apparatus. Here, alert sound is issued according to the management information by instructing transfer apparatus  1 B (ID=m 4 ) to ring a buzzer as set up as a violation measure-a. Simultaneously, this event is additionally recorded as history information data to history information data T 342 .  
      Incidentally, a plurality of transfer apparatuses  1 B are set up at the doorway so as to positively detect display apparatus  2  in accordance with the size thereof. Accordingly, the user of display apparatus  2  (n 2 ) is aware of by alert sound with a result that he/she is prevented from taking the display apparatus  2  back to room  1  and bringing material  1  prohibited by information management to room  2 .  
      Furthermore, after the user has viewed and utilized material  1 , when it becomes 12:00, Feb. 4, 2003 an instruction for erasing display information is sent from the information program  3  recognized a displayable term to transfer apparatus  1 B recognizing display apparatus (n 1 ) by way of information program  3  of PC  4  connected with transfer apparatus  1 B. After confirming a completion of erase operation at the display apparatus according to the response signal, cleared are final display information data T 311  and displayable term data T 312  of display attribute. Furthermore, the event automatically erased is additionally recorded as history information data to history information data T 343  (information management table in  FIG. 15 , for the above)  
      According to this structure, in the electronic paper display system of the invention, transfer apparatus  1  communicates in non-contact with display apparatus  2 , to detect display apparatus  2  and recognize it based on display-side personal identification information according to information program  3 . By set/recorded information and process procedure, it is possible to manage the location of display apparatus  2 , to issue an alert to the user against taking-out and control and manage the display information. Accordingly, a broad use environment can be architected that electronic paper and display information management can be systematically utilized by the electronic paper display system. Incidentally, in this embodiment, display attribute T 31 , output attribute T 32 , management attribute T 33  and history information T 34  were provided in the information management table. Instead, other attributes and data for management information may be provided therein.

       FIG. 9  is an interior block diagram of a display apparatus in embodiment 3 of the invention. In  FIG. 9 , the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 4  are attached with the same references, to omit the explanations thereof. In display device  2  in  FIG. 9 , write to the electronic paper is by being sandwiched between two surfaces thereby enabling a recording by surface-based writing. In  FIG. 9, 27A  connected to a record control circuit  28  is a recording surface while  201  is an electrode sheet. Those constitute a recording section to the electronic paper  200   a . Incidentally, the section  2 B surrounded by broken line is a circuit of other than the display section, which can be made as one-chip IC. Accordingly, utilization is by placing the electronic paper  200   a  on the recording surface  27 A of display apparatus  2  in a state sandwiched by a light-transmissive electrode sheet  201  arranging a transparent electrode over the entire surface.  
       FIG. 10 ( a ) is a sectional view of an electronic paper in embodiment 3 of the invention, which is a sectional view explaining the write operation in this time.  FIG. 10 ( b ) is a structural view of a recording surface in embodiment 3 of the invention. A plurality of pixel electrodes  27 AS are arranged on the recording surface  27 A, and connected to a recording control circuit  28  by a line, not shown. An electrode  201 S exists on a side surface of the electronic sheet  201  to be contacted with an electronic paper. By applying an arbitrary voltage with the foregoing electrode  27 AS, an electric field is caused to enable writing to the electronic paper  200   a.    
      According to this structure, display apparatus  2  of the electronic paper display system of the invention eliminates the necessity of such a motor or drive mechanism as used in  FIG. 4  in writing to the electronic paper. Furthermore, because information can be viewed and carried while sandwiching same by a transparent electrode sheet  201 , improved is the convenience that the electronic paper is free from being stripped off. Similarly to this, it is a generally frequent practice to use a form of carrying a document by being sandwiched in a stationery clear-file. In addition to the conventional convenience, because rewrite is possible for electronic paper display, the paper to be carried can be reduced in amount.  
     Embodiment 4  
       FIG. 11  is an interior block diagram of a display apparatus of an electronic paper display system in embodiment 4 of the invention. In  FIG. 11 , the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 4  are attached with the same references, to omit the explanations thereof. The display apparatus in  FIG. 11  is arranged for writing, in a surface to the electronic paper  200   b , constituting an electronic paper  200   b  by means of a recording control circuit  28  and a display section  27 B. Incidentally, the section  2 C surrounded by broken line is a circuit of other than the display section, which can be made as one-chip IC. However, a switch-element drive circuit in the display section can be configured separately. Here, the electronic paper  200   b  is in a structure that a microcapsule  200 M is sandwiched between an electrode  201  surface and a surface arranging a pixel electrode  27 BS, thus being in an integral form with the display apparatus  2 .  
       FIG. 12 ( a ) is a sectional view of the electronic paper in embodiment 4 of the invention, which is a sectional view explaining a write operation at this time.  FIG. 12 ( b ) is a structural view of the recording section in embodiment 4 of the invention.  FIG. 12 ( c ) is a schematic view of a pixel drive circuit in embodiment 4 of the invention.  
      In the display section  27 B,  27 BS is a pixel electrode,  27 BT is a switching element,  28 R is a horizontal drive circuit and  28 C is a vertical drive circuit. A plurality of pixel electrodes  27 BS are arranged in the display section  27 B. The pixel electrode  27 BS has a switching element on each pixel thereof. As shown in  FIG. 12 ( c ), the switching element  27 BT has gate and source electrodes respectively connected to a gate line  27 C and a source line  27 R as horizontal and vertical lines connected to the drive circuits  28 R and  28 C in this embodiment. This makes it possible to individually drive the pixel electrodes  27 BS connected to the drain electrodes of the switching elements  27 BT. Incidentally, although the drive circuits  28 R and  28 C are isolated from the recording control circuit  28 , those may be incorporated in the section  2 C in an integral form.  
      According to this structure, in the display apparatus  2  in the electronic paper display system of the invention, because the electrode for electric-field application to the microcapsule  200 M can be put in close contact during writing to the electric paper, the application voltage for writing can be reduced. Furthermore, because the pixel electrode  27 BS and the color-based microcapsule provided in multi-colors can be matched in a preparation stage of an electronic paper, color display can be coped with. Meanwhile, in case a plurality of display apparatuses are arranged in a section always communicatable with a transfer apparatus, it is possible to supply, in a particular time, information suited for a purpose to particular display apparatuses classified based on purposes. Namely, conveniences can be provided in many fields, e.g. of work order sheets, operation manuals and hospital medical chart. Incidentally, although this embodiment provided one switching element  27 BT on one pixel electrode  27 BS, an active-matrix drive structure may be provided by providing a power-source line and a plurality of switching elements.  
     Embodiment 5  
      Although the electronic paper  200   a  as a display device of display apparatus  2  in  FIG. 4  is structurally attachable/detachable to/from the display apparatus  2  and provided only one, a plurality of electronic papers  200   a  can be structurally removably attached on a individual basis. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a plurality of electronic papers  200   a  different in size to be removably attached on an individual basis. Meanwhile, the electronic paper  200   a  can be unremovably fixed on the display apparatus  2  or the information storage means can be incorporated in the display apparatus.  
      According to this structure, in the display apparatus  2  of the electronic paper display system of the invention, it is possible to display much more information at one time and to easily carry only the necessary information. Furthermore, where storage means is incorporated, display information can be received and stored together with management information. Because information writing, erasure and display management can be carried out only on display apparatus  2 , much more information can be displayed singly.  
     Embodiment 6  
      Although display apparatus  2  in  FIG. 4  is for writing to the electronic paper  200   a  by moving the record head  27  relative thereto, the electronic paper  200   a  can be transported by fixing the record head  27  as in the thermal printer. This structure can make display apparatus  2  of the electronic paper display system of the invention smaller in size.  
     Embodiment 7  
      Although not shown, display function means such as a liquid-crystal display can be provided though not provided in the transfer apparatus shown in  FIG. 4  or  8 . This structure can provide much more information and instructions for alert and cautions to the user in the transfer apparatus of the electronic paper display system of the invention, thus improving conveniences.  
     Embodiment 8  
      Although the buzzer in  FIG. 8  is provided on transfer apparatus  1 B, it can be mounted on display apparatus  2 . Meanwhile, besides the buzzer, it is possible to mount other means, e.g. vibrations or light flicker to be perceived by the user. Furthermore, alert can be provided by means of alert sound by the buzzer possessed by the PC or of display on a display screen. This structure can further improve user&#39;s perception as to alert.  
     Embodiment 9  
       FIG. 13 ( a ) is a structural view of an electronic paper in embodiment 9 of the invention.  FIG. 13 ( b ) is a sectional view of the electronic paper in embodiment 9 of the invention. In the electronic paper  200   c , a wireless tag  210  is sandwiched between the outer side of a display section  200   p  including a microcapsule  200 M and the sheet  200 S, and bonded by a binder  200 T similarly to the microcapsule  200 M.  
      The wireless tag  210 , known as an RF ID, is configured with similar circuit blocks to those of CPU  21 , ROM/RAM  21 , RF converter circuit  23 , AC/DC converter circuit  24 , antenna  25 , storage battery  26 , etc. shown in display apparatus  2 . This is in a practical application in a size of nearly a sesame grain. The wireless tag  210  can be arranged to have direct wireless communication with transfer apparatus  1  or wireless communication with display apparatus  2 .  
      According to this structure, even where the electronic paper is in a specification it can be removably attached on display apparatus  2 , the electronic paper removed and its information can be managed without the attachment/detachment mechanism mounted on display apparatus  2  for the purpose of monitoring.  
      Incidentally, although this embodiment mounted one wireless tag, a plurality of wireless tags may be mounted correspondingly to different radio frequencies. Furthermore, although the wireless tag made by a semiconductor chip is incorporated herein, a circuit pattern of an organic semiconductor may be patterned over the sheet  200 S. This structure can improve the simultaneous detection performance of a plurality of electronic papers, making it possible to provide an electronic paper even in thickness.  
     Embodiment 10  
      In the information program  3 , the operation block S 30  is allowed to have a display-apparatus management process of after performing an information display.  FIG. 16  is a figure of a display-apparatus management table in embodiment 10 of the invention.  
      Display-apparatus management table T 4  stores and manages, over a particular term, the presence or absence of information display, the state as to whether detected at a constant or non-constant time interval and the ID information of a detected transfer apparatus, for each ID of display apparatus.  
      Because the operation of information output setting is described in  FIG. 7 ( b ) in embodiment 1, explanation is now made on the operation of the information program  3  provided with a post-information-display process with reference to  FIG. 7 ( b ). In a state that the distance between the transfer apparatus and display apparatus  2  becomes longer than a wireless communicatable section or display apparatus  2  is put in a metal case or so and shielded of the radio waves, display apparatus  2  can no longer be detected from transfer apparatus  1 . Transfer apparatus  1 , at step S 12  in display apparatus detection, transmits the fact of impossibility of detection, as information D 3 , to PC  4 . PC  4 , at step S 33  in apparatus detection, updates at a constant time interval the information of display-apparatus management table as shown in  FIG. 16 , and proceeds to the next step.  
      At step S 34  in information processing, display-apparatus management process is performed. Here, because there is a status change in display device (ID=n 1 ) having display information from detectable status into non-detectable status, information program  3  prepares a buzzer-ring instruction output to the PC connected to transfer apparatus  1  (ID=m 1 ) detected display apparatus (ID=n 1 ) up to the last time. Subsequently, at step S 35 , a buzzer-ring instruction is outputted via a network to the PC connected to transfer apparatus  1  (ID=m 1 ). The PC connected with transfer apparatus  1  (ID=m 1 ), received the instruction, issues a buzzer sound.  
      This structure enables information management by notifying, by issuing an alert sound, the user on display apparatus  2  displaying the information requiring management to make the display apparatus stay within a perceivable section. Incidentally, although this embodiment issued a buzzer sound from the PC, a buzzer sound may be issued directly from transfer apparatus  1 B instead from the PC where the apparatus detected is transfer apparatus  1   b  having a buzzer.  
     Embodiment 11  
      Display apparatus  2  shown in  FIGS. 4, 9  and  11  has a recording section to electronic paper whose circuit can be configured by an organic semiconductor. Particularly, the switching element  27 BT shown in  FIG. 12 ( b ) desirably uses an organic field-effect transistor. For example, rendering is performed with conductive-polymer PEDOT (poly-ethylenedioxythiophene) by an inkjet scheme, to form a source, a drain and a gate. A conjugate-polymer semiconductor layer is formed to a film thickness of 30 nm or smaller on the source and drain by a spin-coat technique, on which a polymer insulator layer is formed to a film thickness of 50 nm by a spin-coat technique, to thereby form a gate thereon. Due to this, a top-gate structured TFT can be realized. This structure can reduce the thickness and weight of display apparatus  2  or electronic paper.  
     Embodiment 12  
      The antenna mounted on transfer apparatus  1  or display apparatus  2  can be structured of an organic material. For example, the antenna is structured of a metal plate, a magnetic material or a conductor pattern. In order to prevent the unwanted radiation of electromagnetic field from the surface on which transfer apparatus  1  is placed on a table, a metal sheet such as of aluminum is used on one surface of the antenna, on which a magnetic material or a hybrid material an inorganic material of a magnetic or dielectric material is mixed with a polymeric organic material is layered by pressing or so, on which an antenna pattern is further formed of an organic material extremely low in resistance value and high in conductivity by an inkjet scheme, thereby forming a sheet-formed antenna. On the sheet-formed antenna, an IC chip incorporating a peripheral circuit is mounted in a manner contacted with an end of the antenna pattern, thus making up an apparatus. Incidentally, the foregoing metal plate for shield may be omitted on the antenna of display apparatus  2 .  
      Where power transmission is implemented between the transfer apparatus and the display apparatus, electromagnetic induction can be utilized. However, the antenna, made by a coil for use on the PHS terminal and electronic shaver, generally has a power transmission efficiency of as lois nearly 20-30 percent. This is large in size because of using a coil increased in the number of turns wound over its ferrite core in order to increase its output voltage.  
      In this embodiment, organic material can be employed owing to power transmission and reception at a high frequency of 100 kHz or higher. Accordingly, this structure makes it possible to make transfer apparatus  1  and display apparatus  2  smaller in size, thickness and weight.  
     Embodiment 13  
      Although the antenna mounted on the foregoing transfer apparatus  1  and display apparatus  2  is structured one in kind, it can be structured by a plurality of different kinds of antennas.  FIG. 18  is a schematic view of an antenna in embodiment 13 of the invention, structured with two kinds of antennas on display apparatus  2 . In  FIG. 18, 2C  is an IC having the circuit blocks shown in  FIG. 11, 25S  is an antenna for performing communication with transfer apparatus  1 , and  25 P is an antenna for supplying power from transfer apparatus  1 . A power antenna  25 P can be arranged around the display section in order to increase the screen area.  
      Here, those antennas can be structured by patterning a metal or organic material over a sheet and evaporating or applying it on the same layer as the display medium such as a microcapsule for use in the display section. Furthermore, in the storage battery, a sheer-formed capacitor can be arranged on the backside of the sheet. This structure can improve the power transmission efficiency on transfer apparatus  1  and display apparatus  2  and reduce the thickness of the apparatus.  
     Embodiment 14  
      Display apparatus  2  can incorporate storage-battery remaining capacity detecting means. Furthermore, a remaining capacity detection result and status information as to connection status with the transfer apparatus can be displayed in a part of the display section of the electronic paper or in an exclusive display section provided separately.  
      This structure makes it possible to foresee the number of pages and speed of display rewrite and to grasp the communication status with the transfer apparatus, thus enabling to confirm the use position of the display apparatus and the usability thereof during carriage.  
      In the electronic paper, the operation is explained on the electrophoretic scheme to make a display under electric field. However, the display medium of display paper can be controlled in display under the electric field of a liquid crystal or the like. It naturally possible to use another scheme that display can be held without relying upon power.  
      The electronic paper display system of the invention can display information on a highly-portable display apparatus and, further, can manage display information, display apparatus and electronic paper. Therefore, this can realize to reduce the useless output of paper and to manage the security of output information.

      The transfer apparatus  1001  is connected to PC  1003  through the connection cable  1005  and the PC interface circuit  1013 , for example, on the basis of the USB2.0 specification.  
      Therefore, since electric power is supplied to the transfer apparatus  1001  from the connection cable  1005  which is connected between it and PC  1003 , this supplied electric power is stored in the storage battery  1016 , and it is possible to drive each constituent element (each circuit block) on the basis of this electric power. Direct-current electric source power  1001 P, which is outputted from the storage battery  1016 , is supplied to each constituent element. On this account, a power supply circuit becomes unnecessary for the transfer apparatus  1001 .  
      CPU  1011  controls an operation of the transfer apparatus  1001 , by executing a program which is stored in ROM/RAM  1012 .  
      For example, the antenna drive circuit  1014  is controlled in such a manner that individual data, which is sent from PC  1003 , is received and obtained, and this obtained information and electric power are converted into electromagnetic waves, and these electromagnetic waves are transmitted to the display apparatus, and the display apparatus is detected on the basis of electromagnetic waves which are received through the antenna  1015 .  
      The antenna (transmission means)  1015  transmits and receives signals wirelessly between it and the display apparatus  1002   a  or the display apparatus  1002   b.    
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 15, it is configured in such a manner that, in the transfer apparatus  1001 , a power supply circuit is eliminated, but it is all right even if it is a configuration having an AC power supply circuit and a battery as power source means. In addition, it is all right even if the buzzer drive circuit  1017  and the buzzer  1018  are not mounted. Further, it is desirable that RAM  1012  is a thing which has such capacity that it is possible to store display data of one or a plurality of display screens, and further, it is desirable that it is a thing in which there occurs almost no electric power consumption and which can additionally keep up a data content for a long stretch of time.  
      Further, it is all right even if it is configured in such a manner that the transfer apparatus  1001  is connected to PC  1003  through a communication line, i.e., a wireless communication line or a wired communication line (network). In this case, there is need to be equipped with interface means (communication means) which enables wireless communication, or interface means (communication means) which enables wired communication.  
      Next, a configuration of the display apparatus  1002  will be described with reference to  FIG. 21 .  
      In  FIG. 21 , the display apparatus  1002  is a thing which is configured in such a manner that writing to an electronic paper  1200   a  is enabled by a surface, and is equipped with CPU  1021  for controlling an operation of the display apparatus  1002 , ROM and RAM (hereinafter, referred to as ROM/RAM)  1022  which are a storage apparatus for holding/recording a control program and data, a RF conversion circuit  1023  for extracting signals from electromagnetic waves with wireless frequency which were received by an antenna  1025 , an AC/DC conversion circuit (conversion means)  1024  for extracting electric energy from electromagnetic waves received by the antenna  1025  to convert it into direct-current power source power, an transmission/reception antenna (reception means)  1025  for communicating with the transfer apparatus  1001  by electromagnetic waves, a storage batter (storage means)  1026  for storing direct-current power source power which is generated in the AC/DC conversion circuit  1024 , an electronic paper section  1200   a , a display section  1027 B, and a recording control circuit  1028 .  
      Electric power  1002 P, which is supplied from the storage battery  1026 , is used for a recording operation to the electronic paper  1200   a . Meanwhile, it is all right even if a control circuit for taking out a stable voltage is incorporated in the storage battery  1026 .  
      It is all right even if this display apparatus is configured so as to be equipped with warning means such as a buzzer, which provides warning to a user. This warning means may be a thing which provides warning by displaying a warning message on the electronic paper  1200   a.    
      In the meantime, a portion, which is surrounded by a broken line shown by a reference sign  1002 C of  FIG. 21 , is of the same circuit configuration as a constituent element in case of realizing a wireless tag, and can be realized by an extremely small-size IC. ROM/RAM  1022  can have individual identification information (ID) as identification information.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 15, a circuit in the portion shown by the reference sign  1002 C (portion surrounded by the broken line) is of a configuration (circuit) for writing to an electronic paper, which consumes much larger electric power, as compared to a chip of a general wireless tag, and therefore, respective basis specifications of the antenna  1025 , the AC/DC conversion circuit  1024  and the storage battery  1026  are significantly different from those in case of a general wireless tag. For example, the antenna  1025  receives effectively electromagnetic waves with frequency of 1 MHz. The AC/DC conversion circuit  1024  converts so as to increase a low AC voltage, which is obtained by converting electromagnetic waves received by the antenna  1025  into electric energy, to a DC voltage of 25V, That electric power is stored in a capacitor which is composed of an electric double layer capacitor, to utilize it as the storage battery  1026 .  
      Next, a configuration of the electronic paper  1200   a  will be described with reference to  FIGS. 22 through 24 .  
      In this embodiment 15, as an electronic display apparatus, utilized is an electrophoresis or magnetophoresis type electronic paper in which two sheets, which face to each other through a predetermined gap and at least one of which transmits light, are disposed and an developer, in which one or plural kinds of electrified fine particles, which are different in optical reflection density and color, are contained, is filled up between these sheets, and by applying an electric field or a magnetic field to this developer, the electrified fine particles are moved in the sheet and optical reflection density and color are changed.  
       FIG. 22  is, if it is explained in more detail, a thing which showed a configuration of an electronic paper of an electrophoresis type which is a publicly known technology, as the electronic paper  1200   a  shown in  FIG. 21 , and shows a cross sectional view which shows an A-A′ cross section shown in  FIG. 23 .  
      In  FIG. 22 , a micro capsule  1200 M has an electronic ink function, and a plurality of particles and stained suspension fluid are filled therein. The particles have different optical reflection characteristics and have contrastive electrophoretic polarities.  
      For example, in the micro capsule  1200 M, suspension fluid  1200 L, which is transparent suspension fluid, is filled, and in this suspension fluid  1200 L, there exist particles  1200 K which are of a black color and are electrically charged to + (plus) and particles  1200 W which are of a white color and are electrically charged to − (minus).  
      Sheets  1200 S have optical transparency for sandwiching the micro capsule  1200 M. A binder  1200 T is a non-conductive binder for bonding the micro capsule  1200 M to the sheet  1200 S. On an inner whole surface of the sheet  1200 S on the side of a display surface, a transparent electrode  1201 S is formed, and on an inside of the sheet  1200 S on the side of a rear surface which is opposite to this, a plurality of pixel electrodes  1027 BS are formed.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 15, both surfaces of the electronic paper  1200   a  were configured by the transparent sheets  1200 S, but a rear surface side may be configured by a non-transparent sheet, a metal sheet and an insulating film.  
       FIG. 23  is a view which shows a configuration of the display section  1027 B. In  FIG. 23 , the display section  1027 B is equipped with a pixel electrode  1027 BS, a switching device  1027 BT, a drive circuit  1028 R for a lateral direction, and a drive circuit  1028 C for a vertical direction. In the display section  1027 B, a plurality of pixel electrodes  1027 BS are disposed, depending on a plurality of pixels, and in each of these pixel electrodes  1027 BS, the switching device  1027 BT is disposed with respect to each pixel.  
      Here, a circuit, which drives an image, is shown in  FIG. 24 . As shown in  FIG. 24 , in the switching device  1027 BT, its gate electrode is connected to a gate line  1027 R which is a lateral direction wiring connected to the drive circuit  1028 R, and in addition, its source electrode is connected to a source line  1027 C which is a vertical direction wiring connected to the drive circuit  28 C. In addition, the switching device  1027 BT is configured so as to enable matrix-driving of the pixel electrode  1027 BS which is connected to its drain electrode, individually.  
      Since an electric field is generated between the driven pixel electrode  1027 BS and the transparent electrode  1201 S which is opposite to this, movement of electrified particles (particles  1200 K, particles  1200 W) is carried out in the micro capsule  1200 M which is located between these electrodes.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 15, it is configured in such a manner that the drive circuit  1028 R and the drive circuit  1028 C were separated from the recording control circuit  1028 , but it is also possible to realize such an integral type that the drive circuit  1028 R and the drive circuit  1028 C are incorporated in the circuit in the portion shown by the reference sign  1002 C (portion surrounded by the broken line).  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, it is configured in such a manner that one switching device  1027 BT is disposed on one pixel electrode  1027 BS, but it is also all right even if it is realized by a configuration of active-matrix-driving by disposing a power supply line and a plurality of switching devices.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, as the electronic display apparatus, the electrophoresis type electronic paper is used, but besides this, it is possible to utilize a display apparatus by use of publicly known technical means, e.g., a type of twisting ball, phase-stable liquid crystal, CN liquid crystal, toner display, electronic powder and granular material etc.  
       FIG. 25  shows, if it is described in more detail, a transition status of a basic operation of the information program  1030  which is installed in PC  1003 . The information program  1030  is composed of operation blocks of “information registration”, “output setup”, and “processing”. Normally, the information program  1030  monitors occurrence of each event, and in case that an event occurred, its operation block is executed.  
      Meanwhile, “information registration” is comparable to a processing content of a step S 1031  as a processing procedure which will be described later, and “output setup” is comparable to a processing content of a step S 1032  as a processing procedure which will be described later, and “processing” is comparable to a processing content of a step S 1030  as a processing procedure which will be described later.  
      Next, a processing operation of the electronic paper system will be described with reference to  FIG. 26 .  
      PC  1003  activates the information program  1030  on the basis of an activation instruction from a user, and executes this. As a result of this, a menu screen is displayed on a display apparatus (not shown in the figure) which is disposed on PC  1003 , and therefore, a user sets down an information registration mode selectively from that menu screen. Then, since a screen for registering predetermined information is displayed, a user operates an input apparatus (not shown in the figure) of PC  1003  to that screen, to input and register predetermined information.  
      That is, to PC  1003 , registered are display information such as images and characters which are desired to be displayed on the display apparatus  1002  and individual attribute information as to users, e.g., attribute information such as name and age, position in a company and authority, further, individual information for managing the display apparatus, e.g., password for security management, etc. (step S 1031 ).  
      Here, the display information means information such as texts, figures, graphs and pictures prepared by application software, document information which is composed of these elements, or image information changed to data, which is a result of image reading by the scanner  1004 . In addition, the user includes persons on the side of taking a look at information and persons on the side of managing/providing information.  
      There is such a form of use that one PC  1003  is utilized by a plurality of users. Then, in order to identify the plurality of users, by managing various personal information such as name and age, position in a company and authority, password for security management, it becomes possible to provide diversified conveniences.  
      Next, when a user completes registration of predetermined information and selects an output setup mode from the menu screen, a screen for registering predetermined information is displayed on a display apparatus (not shown in the figure) of PC  1003 , and therefore, a user operates an input apparatus (not shown in the figure) of PC  1003  to that screen, and carries out various output setups as to information to be displayed (step S 1032 ).  
      For example, information which is desired to be displayed, specification of a user, selection of a display apparatus specification of a transfer apparatus, image deterioration parameter at the time of copying, specification of the number of generations (the number of copies) of copying, a period during which display is carried out, etc. are set up arbitrarily. Information of these output setups is recorded and stored in the storage section  1031  in PC  1003  or in the external storage apparatus  1032  which is connected to PC  1003 .  
      Here, it is possible to prepare the information which is desired to be displayed, by processing registered information, on the basis of personal information of a user who possesses the display apparatus  1002  and a user which is validated by PC  1003 , in accordance with a processing procedure which is prepared in advance. For example, various information processing and applications such as to display only a part of registration information, to combine a plurality of information, and to restrict a period during which display is possible, are possible.  
      In case that the above-described step S 1031  and step S 1032  were completed, PC  1003  is to execute an operation block of “processing” which is a basic operation of the above-described information program  1030  (step S 1030 ).  
      In this step S 1030 , an operation of such a case that information of a material  1001  (not shown in the figure) which is registered as information is outputted to the display apparatus  1002   a  and the display apparatus  1002   b  through the transfer apparatus  1001  will be described.  
      Here, in this embodiment  1001 , specific identification information of the transfer apparatus is set up to ID=m, and specific identification information of the display apparatus  1002   a  is set up to ID=n 1 , and specific identification information of the display apparatus  1002   b  is set up to ID=n 2 .  
      In addition, in the step S 1032 , it is assumed that a content of an output setup, which is set up by a user, is that “information of the material  1001 , which is registered as information, is outputted to the display apparatus  1002   a  with identification information ID=n 1  and the display apparatus  1002   b  with identification ID=n 2 , through the transfer apparatus  1001 , after copy attribute of image quality deterioration rate 5% is given thereto”.  
      Now, when the transfer apparatus  1001  is connected to PC  1003  through the connection cable  1005  and power supply from PC  1003  is started, the transfer apparatus  1001  outputs information D 1001  which includes its own identification information ID (ID=m), as electromagnetic waves of predetermined signals, from the antenna  1015  (step S 1011 ), at regular intervals, and by receiving a response from the display apparatus which received this information D 1 , the display apparatus is detected (step S 1012 ).  
      Meanwhile, the step S 1011  which is combined processing of sending-out of the identification information ID and supply of electromagnetic waves, and the step S 1012  which is processing of detection of the display apparatus are carried out successively and repeatedly.  
      Here, in case that a user approaches to the transfer apparatus  1001  over bringing the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  with one, and the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  are located within a distance wherein it is possible to receive electromagnetic waves which were transmitted from the transfer apparatus  1001 , the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  can receive the electromagnetic waves.  
      Then, when the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  receive the electromagnetic waves through the antenna  1025  (step S 1021 ), the display apparatus  2   a  transmits information D 1002  which includes its own identification information ID (ID=n 1 ) to the transfer apparatus  1001 , and on one hand, the display apparatus  1002   b  transmits information D 1002  which includes its own identification information ID (ID=n 2 ) to the transfer apparatus  1001 , respectively (step S 1022 ).  
      The information D 1002 , which is transmitted respectively from the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  in this manner, is inputted to the transfer apparatus  1001 , and used for detection of the display apparatus by the transfer apparatus  1001  (step S 1012 ).  
      Meanwhile, on the occasion of sending out the identification information ID from the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b , in order to avoid collision of the identification information ID by sending-out at simultaneous timing, it is all right even if it is configured in such a manner that setup of sending-out timing of the identification information ID is carried out by use of random numbers in the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b , at the time of reception of electromagnetic waves in the step S 1021  as a trigger, and means for lowering probability of simultaneous outputting is provided.  
      Now, in the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  which completed the step S 1022 , the AC/DC conversion circuit  1024  converts electromagnetic waves which is now being received through the antenna  1025  into direct-current power source power, and this is stored in the storage battery  1026  (step S 1023 ). Next, in the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b , they stand ready over executing the step S 1022  and the step S 1023  repeatedly, until they receive an instruction from the transfer apparatus  1001 .  
      That is, the display apparatuses  1002   a ,  1002   b  stand ready over repeating operations of sending-out of their own identification information ID, and electric charging of electric power (energy charging) which is converted on the basis of electromagnetic waves which are now being received, until they receive an instruction from the transfer apparatus  1001 .  
      In the meantime, in the transfer apparatus  1001 , it transmits such information D 1003  that its own identification information ID (ID=m) is included in any one identification information ID of the display apparatus  1002   a  and the display apparatus  1002   b  which is detected on the basis of the identification information ID in the step S 1012 , to PC  1003 .  
      In PC  1003 , it receives the information D 1003  from the transfer apparatus  1001 , and it detects that it is an apparatuses which is output-specified by a user (display apparatus) on the basis of identification information ID of the display apparatus  1002   a  or the display apparatus  1002   b  which is included in this received information D 3  and individual information for which output setup is carried out in the above-described step S 1032  (Step S 1033 ). Here, it is assumed that, as the apparatus which is output-specified, the display apparatus  1002   a  is firstly detected, and the display apparatus  1002   b  is next detected.  
      Next, when PC  1003  recognized that a specified output condition is satisfied, it carries out information processing, on the basis of information of an output setup which is set up in the step S 1032  (step S 1034 ).  
      Here, a content of a thing, which is registered as an output setup and stored in the storage section  1031  of PC  1003 , is of such meaning that a material  1001  is outputted to the display apparatus with identification information ID=n 1  and the display apparatus  1002   b  with identification ID=n 2 , after copy attribute (image quality deterioration rate 5%) is given thereto.  
      On that account, PC  1003 , which receives identification information ID of the display apparatus  1002   a  which is detected firstly, is to process so as to obtain image information with such a size that it can be displayed on the electronic paper  1200   a  of the display apparatus  1002   a , on the basis of information of the material  1001  which is held in the storage section  1031  in PC 1003  or in the external storage apparatus  1032  which is connected to PC  1003 , in the step S 1034 .  
      PC  1003 , which completed the suchlike processing, transmits an instruction of an image output as information D 1004  to the transfer apparatus  1001  with identification information ID=m which detected the display apparatus  1002   a  with identification information ID=n 1  (transfer apparatus  1001  with identification information ID=m which is included in the above-described information D 1003 ) (step S 1035 ), and after that, stands ready until it receives a matter showing instruction completion to the instruction of the image output from the transfer apparatus  1001  (step S 1036 ).  
      This information D 1004  is outputted as instruction information, and is configured by a format shown in  FIG. 27 . That is, the information D 1004  (instruction information D 1004 ) is composed of an operation instruction which is information for instructing an apparatuses operation (in this embodiment, image display), the transfer apparatus ID which shows an instruction destination (identification information which shows the transfer apparatus), the display apparatus ID which shows an output destination (identification information which shows the display apparatus), information with an attached instruction for setting up details regarding an operation instruction, and image data to be transferred (in this embodiment, an image of the material  1 ).  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the instruction attached information includes, as an attached operation setup in an image display operation, instruction attached information such as image quality deterioration rate 5% and copy generation number limiting value as copy condition information, and executed display image quality deterioration rate.  
      Meanwhile, in case that a content of an output setup, which is stored in the step S 1032 , does not have any setup to be instructed, it goes to an event waiting state shown in  FIG. 25 .  
      When the transfer apparatus  1001  receives instruction information D 1004  from PC  1003  (step S 1013 ), it processes the instruction. That is, the transfer apparatus monitors (detects) and gets an understanding of whether the display apparatus  1002   a  with identification information ID=n 1  is located within such a scope that the transfer apparatus  1001  can receive, and therefore, in case that it is within the scope, it carries out instruction processing.  
      Since the instruction here is an image output of the material  1  to the display apparatus  1002   a  with ID=n 1 , the transfer apparatus  1001  transmits image information of the material  1  and instruction attached information, as information D 1005  from the antenna  1015 , together with instruction information showing that it is an output to the display apparatus  1002   a  with ID=n 1 , which is included in the instruction information D received in the step S 1013  (step S 1014 ).  
      Then, the transfer apparatus  1001 , which completed the step S 1014 , stands ready until it receives notification of instruction completion from the display apparatus  1002   a  which received the information D (step S 1015 ).  
      Meanwhile, the transfer apparatus  1001 , after it completed the step S 1013  (after it received the instruction information D 1004  from PC  1003 ), stands ready over repeating the steps S 1011  through S 1012 , until it can detect this display apparatus  1002   a , in case that it is not possible to detect the display apparatus  1002   a  which corresponds to display apparatus ID included in this instruction information D 1004 .  
      In the display apparatus  1002   a  which received the information D 1005  from the transfer apparatus  1001  through the antenna  1025 , when it recognizes that it is an image output instruction to itself, with reference to instruction information which shows that it is an output to the display apparatus  1002   a  with ID=n 1 , which is included in this information D 1005 , it stores image information of the material  1  which is included in this information D 1005 , in RAM  1022  (step S 1024 ).  
      In the display apparatus  1002   a , CPU  1021  executes display drawing processing of an image on the basis of received original image data (see,  FIG. 28 ( a )) and instruction attached information of image quality deterioration rate 5% (step S 1025 ), and writes an image after this processing is completed (after image deterioration processing) (see,  FIG. 28 ( b )), on the electronic paper  1200   a  through the recording control circuit  1028 .  
      Next, the display apparatus  1002   a , in case that writing to the electronic paper  1200   a  as to received all information (in this embodiment, image information of the material  1 ) is completed in the step S 1026 , transmits a signal which shows instructed processing completion (instructed processing completion signal) D 1006 , to the transfer apparatus  1001 , together with the instruction information (instruction information D 1004 ) and identification information ID (ID=n 1 ) of its own display apparatus (step S 1026 ).  
      Then, in the display apparatus  1002   a  which transmitted the instructed processing completion signal D 1006  to the transfer apparatus, it stands ready until it receives a signal which shows a response to instruction processing completion from the transfer apparatus  1001  which received this signal D 1006  (step s 1027 ), and in case that it receives the signal showing its response, it goes back to the above-described step S 1021 , and steps after this will be carried out.  
      Here, image deterioration processing, which is included in display drawing processing of the step S 1025  by the display apparatus  1002   a , will be described with reference to  FIG. 29 .  
      In the display apparatus  1002   a , CPU  1021  generates random numbers of 1 through 100 every time one pixel is obtained from original image data (see,  FIG. 28 ( a )) as a display drawing processing object (step S 1041 ), and after that, judges whether or not a value of the random number is a value of a deterioration ratio value or less (step S 1042 ). In this embodiment, since an image quality deterioration rate is 5%, a value of a deterioration rate becomes 5.  
      CPU  1021 , in case that it judged that a value of the random number is a deterioration rate value or less, as a result of comparing a value of the generated random number and a value of a deterioration rate=5, executes image processing as to the pixel (step S 1043 ).  
      In this image processing, a pixel as an object is replaced with original image data as a pixel which shows black or a pixel which shows white, and thereby, noise is overlapped therewith, so that image deterioration processing is carried out. Meanwhile, overlapped noise is not decided on the basis of the random number, but may be decided on the basis of a fixed non-periodic pattern which corresponds to a deterioration rate.  
      In addition, as a noise overlapping method, as substitute for blackening or whitening of a pixel, processing called as information inversion of a pixel selected with specific probability (from a pixel showing white to a pixel showing black, or from a pixel showing black to a pixel showing white), or arithmetic processing of a pixel as an object and its peripheral pixels may be used. Meanwhile, it is desirable that information inversion processing of a pixel and arithmetic processing are carried out by a processing method which can be realized even by means of simple hardware.  
      In the meantime, in case that the step S 1043  is finished, and in case that it is judged that a value of the random number is larger than a value of a deterioration rate in the step S 1042 , CPU  1021  judges whether or not a pixel, which became an object for processing in the step S 1042  is a final pixel in the above-described original image data (step S 1044 ), and in case that it judged that it is not the final pixel, it goes back to the above-described step S 1041  in order to apply image deterioration processing as to a next pixel (step S 1045 ), and carries out steps after this.  
      Meanwhile, in case that it is judged that it is the final pixel in the step S 1044 , this processing is finished.  
      Then, in the display apparatus  1002   a , the recording control circuit  1028  image-draws image data after image deterioration processing is applied thereto by CPU  1021  (see,  FIG. 28 ( b )), on the electronic paper  1200   a . CPU  1021 , which completed this image drawing (display drawing processing), rewrites an executed display image quality deterioration rate of instruction attached information which is stored in RAM  1022  in the display apparatus  1002   a , from 0 to 5%.  
      This is to be the end of image quality deterioration processing. An explanation will be carried out with reference to  FIG. 28  again. In the display apparatus  1002   a  which completed display drawing processing in this manner, it is to transmit the signal D 1006  which shows instructed processing completion, to the transfer apparatus  1001  in the above-described step S 1026 , and therefore, in the transfer apparatus  1001 , when it receives the instructed processing completion signal D 1006  from the display apparatus  1002   a  through the antenna  1015  (step S 1015 ), CPU  1011  transmits a response signal D 1007  which shows a response to this instructed processing completion, from the antenna  1015  toward the display apparatus  1002   a , through the antenna drive circuit  1014  (step S 1015 ).  
      Next, in the transfer apparatus  1001 , CPU  1011  sends out instruction completion information D 1008  which shows instruction completion to an instruction based on instruction information D 1004  received in the step S 1013 , through the PC interface circuit  1013 , to PC  1003  (step S 1016 ), and stands ready until it receives a response to this instruction completion (instruction completion information D 1008 ) from PC  1003  (step S 1017 ).  
      Then, the transfer apparatus  1001 , in case that it receives the response to the instruction completion (instruction completion information D 1008 ) from PC  1003 , goes back to the step S 1011 , and is to carry out the same operation as a processing operation to the display apparatus  1002   a.    
      In the meantime, PC  1003 , which completed an image output (instruction output) in the step S 1035 , stands ready until it receives the instruction completion information D 1008  from the transfer apparatus  1001 , and therefore, in case that it received this instruction completion information D 1008 , transmits a response signal D 1009  which shows a response to this instruction completion, to the transfer apparatus  1001  (step S 1036 ), and after that, records such a matter that a part of specified processing is completed as a history, in the storage section in PC  1003  or in the external storage apparatus  1032  (step S 1037 ). For example, log information such as a count number value of the number of copies, identification information which shows a display apparatus at a copy destination, and copying time is recorded.  
      PC  1003 , which completed processing recording of a history in this manner, carries out remaining processing as unprocessed, of an image output of the material  1  to the display apparatus  1002   b , through the transfer apparatus  1001 , in the same manner as the above-described output operation to the display apparatus  1002   a.    
      Next, in case that the display apparatus  1002   a , which displayed (wrote) image information of the material  1  on the electronic paper  1200   a , is moved from a current position (place) so as to copy display image of the display apparatus  1002   a  to a display apparatus  1002   c , the following operation will be carried out.  
      That is, attached information of 5% deteriorated image data, an executed display image quality deterioration rate (5%), and an image quality deterioration rate (5%) which is set up when it is firstly outputted from an information source (information provider) is transferred from the display apparatus  1002   a  to PC  1003  through another transfer apparatus  1001  which is capable of wireless communication with the display apparatus  1002   a . Further, the above-described each information is transmitted from PC  1003  to the display apparatus  1002   c  (not shown in the figure) through another transfer apparatus  1001  (regardless of whether or not it is a transfer apparatus which communicated wirelessly with the display apparatus  1002   a ).  
      In the display apparatus  1002   c  (not shown in the figure), image quality deterioration processing of 5% (see,  FIG. 29 ) is applied to 5% image quality deteriorated image data which is received, and this image data, to which the image quality deterioration processing is applied, is displayed on the electronic paper  1200   a . Here, an executed display image quality deterioration rate of instruction attached information in the display apparatus  1002   c  is rewritten from 5% to 10%. Meanwhile, an image quality deterioration rate remains as a value of 5% and is not changed.  
      In case of copying a display image of a predetermined display apparatus to another display apparatus in this manner, for example if it is copied, say, up to 20 generations, an image after image quality deterioration processing is applied becomes all black or all white, or one with a white-to-black ratio 50%, so that it is turned in a completely illegible state. By this means, it is possible to give the same advantage as that of analog copying.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 15, if the transfer apparatus  1001  is changed to a sophisticated one by enlarging its CPU and memory capacity and mounting a processing program thereon, it is possible to carry out distribution of information from the display apparatus  1002   a  to the display apparatus  1002   b  through the transfer apparatus  1001 , without interposition of PC  1003 .  
      In addition, in this embodiment 15, instruction completion is notified after processing to an instruction is completed, in such a manner that, in the step S 1026 , the instruction completion information D 1006  is transmitted to the transfer apparatus  1001  after processing of the step S 1025  is completed, and also, in the step S 1016 , the instruction completion information D 1008  is transmitted to PC  1003  after the instruction completion information D 1006  is received from the display apparatus  1002   a , but, in an intermediate step of processing to an instruction, it is also possible to transmit processing information in its process stage, from the display apparatus  1002   a  to the transfer apparatus  1001 , further from the transfer apparatus  1001  to PC  1003 , several times until processing to the instruction is completed.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, as information processing, explained is an example of a case of processing from information of the material  1  to image information of such a size that it can be displayed on the electronic paper  1200   a , but the invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to realize various conveniences such as efficiency/advertising effect due to calling for attention to a user/reconfirmation/summary of information, by having a display apparatus executed various information processing, such as by having a display apparatus processed only a part of the material  1001  from an attribute of a user as image information to be displayed, and by having it added another information to the material  1  to process as image information.  
      For example, in the display apparatus  1002 , as shown in  FIG. 28 ( c ), copy user name information D 1011  is added to original image data (see,  FIG. 28 ( a )), and this image data can be displayed, and also, as shown in  FIG. 28 ( d ), image display restriction information D 1012  as to a period and a place is added to the original image data (see,  FIG. 28 ( a )), and this image can be displayed.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, as an attached attribute regarding copying, an image quality deterioration rate is explained as an example, but the invention is not limited to this, and by giving an attribute of a simultaneous copying number and a total copying number to original information with no deterioration, it is possible to restrict a total copying number as to information with perfect image quality, and it becomes possible to carry out a restriction setup such as allowing only specific group members to make a copy.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, as a display information copying restriction measure, it is configured in such a manner that display information (display image) is image-deteriorated every time the number of copying increases, by processing display information at a copy source on the basis of image quality information (image deterioration rate information) which is included in copy condition information, and finally, even if copying is carried out, a meaningless display image is obtained, so that copying is restricted, but the invention is not limited to this, and it is all right even if it is carried out as follow.  
      That is, in case of displaying display information at a copy source which is displayed on the display apparatus  1002   a  at the copy source, on the display apparatus  1002   c  at a copy destination, the display apparatus  1002   a  transmits display information at the copy source to PC  1003  through the transfer apparatus  1001 . Next, PC  1003  transmits the display information at the copy source from the display apparatus  1002   a , and instruction information including copy condition information which shows a condition regarding copying, to the display apparatus  1002   c  through the transfer apparatus  1001 .  
      The display apparatus  1002   c , in case that it received information from PC  1003 , carries out addition or subtraction of a value which is set up in advance to a value which shows a copying number included in the copy condition information.  
      Then, the display apparatus  1002   c , when a value of a copying number after this calculation is carried out is smaller than a threshold value which is set up in advance, displays the received display information on the electronic display apparatus  1200   a , and on one hand, when the value of the copying number after this calculation is carried out reached to the threshold value which is set up in advance, does not display the received display information on the electronic display apparatus  1200   a.    
      In case of carrying out copying restriction of display information by a copying number in this manner, image quality of a display image is not deteriorated, but in case that it reached to a predetermined copying number, display information is not displayed.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, it is also possible to realize such a configuration that PC  1003  and the transfer apparatus  1001  are integrated. For example, it is all right if it is configured in such a manner that PC  1003  has a configuration and a function of the transfer apparatus  1001 .  
      In this case, an electronic paper system can process in the same manner as in the above-described processing case. Here, explaining basis processing again, the display apparatus  1002  and PC  1003  carry out transmission/reception of information by wireless communication. PC  1003  outputs electromagnetic waves periodically toward the display apparatus  1002 . This display apparatus  1002  transmits specific identification information which is given to itself in advance, to PC  1003 .  
      PC  1003  decides display information and instruction information on the basis of specific identification information from the display apparatus  1002  and processing procedures which were set up in advance, and transmits these decided display information and instruction information to the display apparatus  1002 .  
      Then, the display apparatus  1002  writes information on the electronic paper  1200   a , on the basis of display information and instruction information from the processing apparatus.  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, it is also possible to realize such a configuration that PC  1003  and the scanner  1004  are integrated. For example, it is all right if it is configured in such a manner that PC  1003  has a configuration and a function of the scanner  1004 .  
      Further, in this embodiment 15, it is configured in such a manner that the scanner  1004  is connected to PC  1003  by the connection cable  1005 , but it is also possible to configure in such a manner that it is connected to PC  1003  through a network (communication line).  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 15, the transfer apparatus  1001  obtains solid object identification information of the display apparatuses  1002   a , 1002   b  by non-contact communication with the display apparatus  1002   a  and the display apparatus  1002   b , and notifies this solid object identification information (specific identification information) to an information processing apparatus (computer), and on one hand, the information processing apparatus executes the information program  1030 , and thereby, it is possible to carry out a huge variety of data processing on the basis of the above-described solid object identification information, and information which is setup/registered in advance and information which shows processing procedures, and it is possible to carry out control/management regarding display to a desired display apparatus, by transmitting image information and an operation instruction to an arbitrary transfer apparatus.  
      Therefore, by approximating the display apparatus to the transfer apparatus after an output setup is done, it is possible to display desired information on an arbitrary display apparatus, and therefore, it is possible to provide a printing solution environment which is impossible by a conventional technology.  
      In addition, according to the embodiment 15, since an electronic paper enables repetitive writing and erasing, it is possible to substantially reduce a paper resource which is wasted in the past, by a trial output of a prepared material etc.  
      Further, according to the embodiment 15, by giving attached information regarding copying to instruction information to a display apparatus from an information processing apparatus (computer), it is possible to deteriorate image quality by lowering contrast of image information gradually every time copying is carried out, by means of a simple method (image deterioration processing) on the side of a display apparatus, and it is possible to restrict a copying number, and therefore, it becomes possible to give a huge variety of restrictions, for the purpose of securing information security and copyright protection to a conduct of copying etc.  
      Further, according to the embodiment 15, even in case that a display apparatus is moved before copying is completed and it is turned into such a state that communication is impossible and processing is interrupted, it is possible to transfer only remaining copy information which has not yet been transmitted because of interruption of the above-described processing, when a display apparatus is again approximated to a transfer apparatus and it is turned into such a state that communication is possible, by managing progress information in midstream of processing, and it is possible to improve stability of an operation of a display apparatus (display operation).  
     Embodiment 16  
       FIG. 30  is a conceptual diagram which shows a configuration of an electronic paper system of an embodiment 16 of the invention, and  FIG. 31  is a block diagram which shows a configuration of a transfer apparatus shown in  FIG. 30 .  
      In  FIG. 30 , the electronic paper system is equipped with 3 units of transfer apparatuses  1001 ,  1006  units of transfer apparatuses  1100 , and  3  units of PCs  1003 .  
      As shown in  FIG. 30 , one room is partitioned by a wall  1008 , and a passage, a room  1001  and room  1002  are formed. In the room  1001 , two tables  1007  are placed, and in the room  1002 , one table  1007  is placed. On each of these tables  1007 , one PC  1003  and one transfer apparatus  1001  are mounted in such a state that they were connected by a connection cable  1005 . In addition, on the wall  1008 , four transfer apparatuses  1100  are placed, and at a doorway of the room, two transfer apparatuses  1100  are placed.  
      The transfer apparatus  1100  is a transfer apparatus which is of a different configuration from the transfer apparatus  1001  and has a function by which it can be connected to a network wirelessly.  
      The transfer apparatus  1001  and PC  1003  has the same configurations and functions as those of the transfer apparatus  1001  and PC  1003  of the embodiment 16. As a matter of course, in a plurality (3 units) of PCs  1003 , an information program  1030  is installed. In this regard, however, one information program  1003  becomes a master which manages and controls an entirety, and other information programs  1030  are operated under its control, in cooperation with the information program  1030  which is specified (set up) as the master. These cooperation operations are carried out by an operation block S 1030  for the purpose of “processing” shown in  FIG. 25 .  
       FIG. 31  shows a configuration of the transfer apparatus  1100 , and this transfer apparatus  1100  is of such a configuration that, in the configuration of the transfer apparatus  1001  in the embodiment 15 shown in  FIG. 30 , the PC interface circuit  1013  and the storage battery  1016  are deleted, and a wireless communication interface circuit  1110 , a communication antenna  1120  and a power supply circuit  1130  are added. Meanwhile, in  FIG. 31 , identical reference numerals and signs are given to portions which perform the same functions as those of constituent elements shown in  FIG. 20 .  
      The wireless communication interface circuit  1110  is an interface which corresponds to wireless communication such as Bluetooth and wireless LAN which are known technologies.  
      A plurality (6 units) of transfer apparatuses  1100  are in such a state that they are always connected to a network. Management of these transfer apparatuses  1100  is carried out by the information program  1030  which is specified (set up) as the master which can manage an entirety of an information processing system. In reality, it is carried out by control means such as CPU of the processing apparatus  1003  which executes this information program  1030 .  
      On that account, in ROM/RAM  1012  which is a storage apparatus incorporated in each of the plurality of transfer apparatuses  1100 , individual identification information ID is set up. On the basis of this identification information ID, the information program  1030  can identify the plurality of transfer apparatuses.  
      Meanwhile, it is also possible to configure the power supply circuit  1130  by means which does not utilize an AC power source, such as a dry battery and a solar battery.  
      In addition, users and apparatuses (transfer apparatuses, display apparatuses) and information for control and management of display information are processed by the plurality of PCs  1003  in a cooperated manner and managed uniformly.  
      In the above-described electronic paper system, communication with the display apparatus  1002  is carried out by the transfer apparatus  1001  in a non-contact manner, and the display apparatus  1002  is detected, and the information program  1030  is recognized on the basis of solid object identification information (specific identification information) of a display side, and thereby, the transfer apparatus  1001  obtains solid object identification information of the display apparatus  1002  by non-contact communication with the display apparatus  1002 , and notifies this solid object identification information to PC  1003 , and on one hand, PC  1003  executes the information program  1030 , and thereby, it is possible to carry out location management of the display apparatus  1002  and warning to taking-out to a user and control and management of its display information, on the basis of the above-described solid object identification information, and information which is set up/registered in advance and information which shows processing procedures.  
      For example, it is possible to display copy information, through a transfer apparatus which is placed at another place, on a display apparatus which is placed in the vicinity of the same. In addition, a copy instruction is given in advance to a transfer apparatus which is placed at a conference room, and at such a time point that a display apparatus, which is brought in with an attendant, is held up on the transfer apparatus, it is possible to draw information on that display apparatus.  
      Further, in case that a display apparatus, which should be used in a specified area, is taken out to an outside of that area, an instruction for erasing information is sent to this display apparatus, and thereby, it is possible to erase an image. In addition, it becomes possible to emit a warning sound from the transfer apparatus  1001  and PC  1003  on site, to warning proceeding which is set up in advance such as taking-out from a specified area and a case wherein a display apparatus is moved from a detection available area, and to automatically erase display information after time, which is specified in the display apparatus  1002 , passed over, and to update information.  
      Therefore, it is possible to establish a wide utilization environment in which it is possible to use an electronic paper and management of its display information by an electronic paper system in an organized way.  
     Embodiment 17  
       FIG. 32  is a block diagram which shows a configuration of a display apparatus in an electronic paper system in an embodiment 17 of the invention, and  FIG. 33  is a view which explains a recording surface of the display apparatus shown in  FIG. 32 , and  FIG. 34  is a view which explains a writing operation to an electronic paper which is used for the display apparatus shown in  FIG. 32 , and  FIG. 35  is a view which explains the electronic paper, and  FIG. 36  is a view which explains the electronic paper.  
      A display apparatus  1002  shown in  FIG. 32  is of such a configuration that, in the configuration of the display apparatus  1002  of the embodiment 15 shown in  FIG. 21 , the display section  1027 B and the electronic paper  1200   a  were deleted, and a recording surface  1027 A, an electronic paper  1200   b  and an electrode sheet  1201  were added. In  FIG. 32 , identical reference numerals and signs are given to portions which perform the same functions as those of constituent elements shown in  FIG. 31 .  
      Meanwhile, a portion, which is surrounded by a broken line shown by a reference sign  1002 B of  FIG. 32 , is a circuit other than a display section, and can be realized as IC by use of one chip.  
      In this embodiment 16, the display apparatus  1002  is configured in such a manner that surface recording is available by sandwiching two surfaces of the electronic paper  1200   b . In other words, the electronic paper  1200   b  is not one which is fixed to the display apparatus  1002 , but an independent one which is detachable from the display apparatus  1002 .  
      Meanwhile, the display apparatus  1002  is configured by the detachable electronic paper  1200   b  and constituent elements other than this, i.e., an antenna  1025 , a storage battery  10026 , and a apparatus main body which is configured by a portion which is surrounded by a broken line shown by reference sign  1002 B.  
      In  FIG. 32 , as to the recording surface  1027 A, on its top surface (a surface which is in contact with the electronic paper  1200   b ), as shown in  FIG. 33 , a plurality of pixel electrodes  1027 AS are placed, and the plurality of these electrodes  1027 AS are connected to a recording control circuit (control means)  1028  by wiring (not shown in the figure).  
      An electrode  1201 S is placed on a surface of the electrode sheet  1201  on the side which is in contact with the electronic paper  1200   b . This electrode sheet  1201  is a sheet on a whole surface of which a transparent electrode is placed and which has optical transparency, and can be rotated around one side thereof as a supporting point (center).  
      In the suchlike display apparatus  1002 , it is to be utilized in such a state that the electronic paper  1200   b  is placed on the recording surface  1027 A and sandwiched by the electrode sheet  1201 . That is, as shown in  FIG. 34 , in such a state that the electronic paper  1200   b  is placed on the recording surface  1027 A and sandwiched by the electrode sheets  1201 , an arbitrary voltage is applied between this electrode  1201 S and the plurality of pixel electrodes  1027 AS, and thereby, an electric field is generated, so that writing to the electronic paper  1200   b  is carried out. Meanwhile,  FIG. 34  shows a cross sectional view of a B-B′ cross section.  
      Next, as an application example of the electronic paper  1200   b , an electronic paper  1200   c  will be described with reference to  FIG. 35  and  FIG. 36 .  
      As to the electronic paper  1200   c , as shown in  FIG. 35 , on an outside of a display area  1200   p  which includes micro capsules  1200 M (see,  FIG. 36 ), a wireless tag  1210  is bonded by a binder  1200 T and sandwiched by the sheet  1200 S, in the same manner as the micro capsule  1200 M. Meanwhile,  FIG. 35 , if it is described in more detail, shows a cross sectional view of a C-C′ cross section of  FIG. 36 .  
      The wireless tag  1210 , which is known as RFID, is configured by a circuit block having the same functions as those of CPU  1021 , ROM/RAM  1022 , RF conversion circuit  1023 , AC/DC conversion circuit  1024 , antenna  1025 , storage battery  1026  shown in the display apparatus  1002  of  FIG. 32 , and a small-size one with a size of a sesame grain level is put to practical use.  
      This wireless tag  1210  can be configured so as to carry out wireless communication directly with the transfer apparatus  1001 , or carry out wireless communication with the display apparatus  1002 , or carry out wireless communication with a tag reader (not shown in the figure) which is incorporated in the scanner.  
      Writing to the electronic paper  1200   c  is carried out in the same manner as in case of writing to the electronic paper  1200   b  shown in  FIG. 34 .  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 17, it is configured in such a manner that one wireless tag is mounted on the electronic paper  1200   c , but the invention is not limited to this, it is all right even if a plurality of wireless tags and wireless tags with a plurality of types which correspond to different wireless frequencies are mounted thereon. In this case, it is possible to improve simultaneous detection ability of plural electronic papers.  
      In addition, in this embodiment 17, it is configured in such a manner that the wireless tag  1210 , which is configured by a semiconductor chip, is incorporated in the electronic paper  1200   c , but the invention is not limited to this, and it is all right even if a circuit pattern by use of an organic semiconductor (circuit pattern which has a function of the wireless tag  1210 ) is formed as a pattern on the sheet  1200 S. In this case, an electronic paper with a uniform thickness becomes possible.  
      Further, it is all right even if a plurality of wireless tags and wireless tags with a plurality of types which correspond to different wireless frequencies are formed by forming a circuit pattern by use of an organic semiconductor on the sheet  1200 S as a pattern. In this case, it is possible to improve simultaneous detection ability of plural electronic papers, and an electronic paper with a uniform thickness becomes possible.  
      According to the above-described electronic paper system, it is possible to take a look at information on the display apparatus  1002  in such a state that the electronic paper  1200   c  is sandwiched by the recording surface  1027 A and the transparent electrode sheet  1201  and to carry on the display apparatus  1002 , and therefore, it is possible to realize improvement of convenience in such a manner that it is possible to use it in such a state that the electronic paper  1200   c  is not curled up.  
      Similarly to this, such a form that a material is sandwiched in a clear file as a stationary to be carried on is generally utilized well, but in addition to this conventional convenience, it is possible to rewrite display on the electronic paper  1200   c , and therefore, it is possible to reduce an amount of papers to be carried on. Further, it is possible to take out and take a look at the recorded electronic paper  1200   c , and therefore, it is possible to mitigate feeling of fatigue of a user, as compared to a case of holding up the display apparatus  1002  and taking a look at it, since it is of lighter weight when a user holds up it.  
      Further, even in such a specification that the electronic paper  1200   c  is detachable from the display apparatus  1002 , information management of the detached electronic paper  1200   c  becomes possible without a attaching/detaching mechanism which is mounted on the display apparatus  1002  for the purpose of monitoring.  
      Further, in case of reading the electronic paper  1200   c  by use of the scanner  1004 , it is possible to simultaneously read tag information attached to the electronic paper  1200   c , together with image data, and therefore, it is possible to carry out uniform management and copy restriction of information on the basis of this tag information, and continuity of the uniform management and copy restriction of information is maintained.  
      For example, by setting up an image quality deterioration rate to the wireless tag  1210  as tag information, image quality deterioration processing is applied to image data on the basis of the image quality deterioration rate, before the scanner  1004  scans the electronic paper  1200   c  and outputs the read image data to PC  1003 , on the basis of the tag information (image quality deterioration rate) which is read out from the wireless tag  1210 , and thereby, image quality is deteriorated as a copy number increases, so that it is possible to apply restriction to copy limitation.  
      In addition, for example, by setting up copy inhibition to the wireless tag  1210  as tag information, it becomes possible to realize such a matter that the scanner scans the electronic paper  1200   c  and reads out the tag information of the wireless tag  1210 , and inhibits image reading on the basis of this tag information, and warning of copyright violation is outputted.

      In the above-described display apparatus  1002  of the embodiments 15 through 17, writing to the electronic paper  1200   b  is carried out by a surface, whereas the display apparatus  1002  of this embodiment 17 is configured so as to write to the electronic paper  1200   b  by a line (line unit).  
      Meanwhile, the display apparatus  1002  is configured by the detachable electronic paper  1200   b  and constituent elements other than this, i.e., an antenna  1025 , a storage battery  1026 , a recording control circuit (control means)  1028 , a drive motor  1029 , a motor drive circuit  1029 C and a apparatus main body which is configured by a portion which is surrounded by a broken line shown by reference sign  1020 .  
      In  FIG. 37 , the recording head  1027  is a line type recording head having a plurality of pixel electrodes for applying an electric field to the electronic paper  1200   b  in such a state that it is in contact with the electronic paper  1200   b  and sandwiched by it and the common electrode  1202 .

The motor drive circuit  1029 C is a thing for controlling an operation of the drive motor  1029 .  
      The electronic paper  1200   b  is, as shown in  FIG. 38 , configured by micro capsules  1200 M having electronic ink function, sheets  1200 S with optical transparency for sandwiching them, and a non-conductive binder  1200 T for bonding the micro capsules  1200 M and the sheets  1200 S. Meanwhile,  FIG. 38 , if it is described in more detail, shows a cross sectional view of a D-D′ cross section shown in  FIG. 39 .  
      An image writing operation to the electronic paper  1200   b  will be described with reference to  FIG. 40 .  
      As shown in  FIG. 40 , the recording control circuit  1029  switches a positive voltage (+V) and a negative voltage (−V), as a voltage which is applied between the pixel electrode  1027 S and the common electrode  1202 , and thereby, it is possible to carry out writing and erasing of information to and from the electronic paper  1200   b . Here, it is assumed that the positive voltage (+V) is applied at the time of writing of information.  
      Now, when the positive voltage (+V), which is switched by the recording control circuit  1028 , is applied to one pixel electrode  1027 S of the recording head  1027  which is configured by laying out pixel electrodes in the shape of a line, electrified particles  1200 K and electrified particles  1200 W in the micro capsule  1200 M are electrophoresed.  
      By this means, a display image is written on a portion which is opposite to a writing surface (lower side) of the recording head  1027  in the electronic paper  1200   b , in the shape of a line.  
      When writing is completed in this manner, the recording head  1027  is moved in a direction of an arrow shown by a reference numeral  1220  in  FIG. 40 , to record a display image to a next line, and thereby, it is possible to write a display image on an entire surface of the electronic paper  1200   b.    
      That is, by moving the recording head  1027  in a direction from a position of a reference sign X to a position of a reference sign Y, in  FIG. 37  and  FIG. 40 , it is possible to write a display image on an entire surface of the electronic paper  1200   b.    
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment 18, both surfaces of the electronic paper  1200   b  are formed by the transparent sheets  1200 S, but the invention is not limited to this, and it is all right even if one side is a non-transmission sheet or a sheet on which metal is deposited. In addition, as the electronic paper, it is possible to utilize the electronic paper  1200   b  in which a wireless tag is incorporated (see,  FIG. 35 ,  FIG. 36 ).  
      In addition, in this embodiment 18, it is configured in such a manner that the recording head is moved by a conveying mechanism (not shown in the figure), but the invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to move the electronic paper  1200   b  by a conveying mechanism (not shown in the figure), by fixing a position of the recording head  1027 .

      That is, it is possible to realize such a configuration that it is possible to attach and detach a plurality of electronic papers individually. In addition, it is possible to configure in such a manner that it is possible to attach and detach a plurality of electronic papers with different sizes, individually. Further, it is possible to realize such a configuration that an electronic paper is fixed to the display apparatus  1002  so that it is not possible to attach and detach it, and to configure in such a manner that storage means, which stores predetermined information, is incorporated in the display apparatus  1002 .  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it is possible to display much more information (display information) on the display apparatus  1002  at one time, and it is possible to readily take along only necessary information. In addition, by configuring in such a manner that received display information and management information are stored in the storage means which is incorporated in the display apparatus  1002 , it is possible to carry out writing and erasing of information and display management, only by use of the display apparatus  1002 , and therefore, it becomes possible to independently display much more information.  
     Embodiment 20  
      In the display apparatus  1002  of the above-described embodiment 18 (see,  FIG. 38 ), it is configured in such a manner that the recording head  1027  is moved to the electric paper  1200   b  to carry out writing, but it is also possible to configure in such a manner that the recording head  1027  is fixed like a thermal printer, and the electronic paper  1200   b  is conveyed (moved).  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it is possible to miniaturize the display apparatus  1002  more.  
     Embodiment 21  
      It is also all right even if display means such as a liquid crystal display is disposed on the transfer apparatus of the above-described embodiment 15 (see,  FIG. 20 ) and the transfer apparatus  1001  of the embodiment 16 (see,  FIG. 31 ).  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, much more information provision and instructions become possible to warning, attention, etc. to users, by means of the transfer apparatus so that it is possible to substantially improve convenience.  
     Embodiment 22  
      It is also possible to configure in such a manner that announcing means such as vibration and blinking of light which are acknowledged by users is disposed, in addition to the buzzer  1019 , on the transfer apparatus of the above-described embodiment 15 (see,  FIG. 20 ) and the transfer apparatus  1001  of the embodiment 16 (see,  FIG. 31 ). In addition, it is also possible to provide warning by means of a warning sound through the use of a buzzer that PC  1003  has and warning display to a display screen, in a personal computer (PC  1003 ). Further, it is also possible to provide warning by writing to an electronic paper section through the use of a display apparatus.  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it is possible to more improve recognition of a user with regard to information such as warning.  
     Embodiment 23  
      In the display apparatus of the above-described embodiment 15 (see,  FIG. 22 ), the display apparatus of the embodiment 17 (see,  FIG. 32 ) and the display apparatus of the embodiment 18 (see,  FIG. 37 ), a recording section, which carries out writing of information to an electronic paper, can be circuit-configured by an organic semiconductor.  
      In particular, it is desirable to use an organic series field effect transistor as the switching device  1027 BT shown in  FIG. 23 .  
      For example, PEDOT (poly-ethylene dioxythiophene), which is conductive polymer, is drawn by means of an ink jet method, to form a source, a drain and a gate, and next, on the source and the drain, a semiconductor layer of conjugated type polymer, a film thickness of which is set to 30 nm or less, is formed by means of a spin coat method, and a high polymer insulating layer with film thickness 500 nm is formed thereon by means of a spin coat method, and further, a gate is formed thereon, and thereby, it is possible to realize TFT (thing film transistor) with a top gate structure.  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it becomes possible to make the display apparatus  1002  or an electric paper thinner to save weight.  
     Embodiment 24  
      It is possible to configure the antenna, which is mounted on the above-described transfer apparatus  1001 , display apparatus  1002  and scanner  1004 , by an organic material.  
      For example, the antenna is configured by a metal plate, a magnetic material and a conductor pattern. In order to prevent radiation of a unnecessary electromagnetic field from a surface which is opposite to a table in the transfer apparatus  1001  (surface on the side which is placed on the table), a metal sheet such as aluminum is used for one surface of an antenna section. On it, a magnetic material, or a hybrid material made by mixing an inorganic material such as a magnetic material and a dielectric material and a high polymer organic material, is laminated by press etc. Further on it, an antenna pattern is formed by an organic material with an extremely low resistance value and high conductivity is formed by an ink jet method, to manufacture a sheet-shaped antenna.  
      In this sheet-shaped antenna, an IC chip, in which a peripheral circuit is incorporated, is mounted thereon, so as to be in contact with an end portion of an antenna pattern, so that an apparatuses is configured.  
      Meanwhile, in the antenna of the display apparatus  1002 , the above-described metal sheet for shield (metal plate) may be eliminated.  
      In case of carrying out electric power transmission between the transfer apparatus and the display apparatus in a non-contact manner, use of an organic material becomes possible by carrying out electric power transmission/reception through the use of high frequency of 100 kHz or more, so that it is possible to improve electric power transmission efficiency.  
      Meanwhile, in case of carrying out electric power transmission between the transfer apparatus and the display apparatus in a non-contact manner, it is possible to utilize electromagnetic induction, but generally, in an antenna by use of a coil which is used in a PHS terminal and an electric razor, its electric power transmission efficiency is as lois approximately 20 through 30%, and coils, the number of turns of which is increased for the purpose of heightening a voltage to be taken out, are wound around a ferrite core, and therefore, an antenna itself is enlarged.  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it is possible to realize higher miniaturization/thin-shape of the transfer apparatus  1001  and the display apparatus  1002 , so that it becomes possible to realize much more weight saving.

An antenna  1025 S is a thing for carrying out communication with the transfer apparatus  1001 . An antenna  1025 P is a thing for receiving electric power supply from the transfer apparatus  1001 . The electric power antenna  1025 P is placed at a periphery of a display section in order to enable realization of a large area.  
      Here, these antennas  1025 S,  1025 P can be configured in such a manner that a metal material or an organic material is formed on a sheet as a pattern and it is formed on the same layer as a display medium such as micro capsules etc. to be used in a display section, by deposition or painting. In addition, as to the storage battery, it is possible to dispose a sheet-shaped capacitor on a lower surface of a sheet.  
      Meanwhile, in the embodiment shown in  FIG. 41 , it is configured in such a manner that an antenna is placed at a peripheral portion of a display section, but in particular, in case that an electronic paper is of a system for thermally recording like a leuko paper, it is also possible to dispose an antenna on an entire rear surface of a sheet.  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it becomes possible to improve electric power transmission efficiency of the transfer apparatus  1001  and the display apparatus  1002  and to make them thinner. In addition, it becomes possible to realize shortening of communication time.  
     Embodiment 26  
      As to the above-described display apparatus  1002 , it is all right even if remaining quantity detection means of a storage battery is mounted thereon. In addition, it is all right even if status information, such as a result of remaining quantity detection by the remaining quantity detection means, a communication connection state with the transfer apparatus and electric power receiving sensitivity, is displayed on a part of a display section of an electronic paper, or on a dedicated display section which is disposed separately.

     Embodiment 27  
      As to the above-described scanner  1004 , it is all right even if a function which is equivalent to the transfer apparatus, or a reader function of a wireless tag is mounted thereon, and further, such a function by which it is possible to process an image which is read out, and a function by which it is possible to connect to a network is provided thereon.  
      According to the suchlike electronic paper system, it is possible to process image information directly, by taking over restriction such as copy limitation from a tag, even if it is tried to optically read and copy an image which is recorded on a paper to which a wireless tag, in which restriction information such as copy limitation is stored as tag information, and a detachable electronic paper having the above-described wireless tag.  
      In addition, by such a matter that the scanner sends the read tag information to (an information program of) a personal computer, it becomes possible to realize cooperation of tag information and database information which is incorporated in the personal computer, and it becomes possible to significantly expand a scope of copyright preservation and security management. By this means, it is possible to establish a scheme which can correspond to various solutions.  
      Meanwhile, in the above-described electronic paper, an operation as to an electrophoresis method in which display is carried out by use of an electric field is described, but as a matter of course, as to a display medium of an electronic paper, it is possible to use another type which can control display by an electric field and can hold display without electric power, like a liquid crystal etc.  
      The invention can display information on a display apparatus of high portability, and can carry out management of an image input, management of images and information to be displayed, and management of a display apparatus or an electronic paper, and therefore, it is applicable to an apparatus or an information processing system which can easily carry out copying and distribution of information, and realize reduction of useless paper output and security management of output information which is impossible by papers.  
     Embodiment 28  
       FIG. 42  is a block diagram of an electronic paper system in an embodiment 28 of the invention. In  FIG. 42 , an electronic paper system, which relates to this embodiment, is equipped with a transfer apparatus  2001 , display apparatuses  2002   a ,  2002   b , PC  2004  in which an information program  2003  is installed, a cable  2005 , and an image reading apparatus (hereinafter, described as scanner.)  2006 .  
      The transfer apparatus  2001  is connected to PC  2004  by the cable  2005  and the scanner  2006  is also connected to PC  2004  by the cable  2005 . In addition, the transfer apparatus  2001  and the display apparatuses  2002   a  and  2002   b  are communication-connected wirelessly.  
      Meanwhile, in  FIG. 42 , PC  2004  and the scanner  2006 , the transfer apparatus  2001  are connected by the cable  2005 , but it is possible to connect they wirelessly, by means of means like wireless LAN.  
      This system is a thing which basically enables to have information, which is prepared in PC  2004 , outputted to predetermined one or plural display apparatuses  2002  ( 2002   a ,  2002   b ) through the transfer apparatus  2001 .  
      In the transfer apparatus  2001 , disposed is means which can receive/extract individual data which is sent from PC  2004 , and convert the obtained information and electric power into electromagnetic waves, and can output it through an antenna, and further, disposed is means which receives the electromagnetic waves from an antenna and detects the display apparatus. In addition, it is all right even if means, which can set up individual identification mark (hereinafter, described as ID), is incorporated therein.  
      The information program  2003  is a program for controlling and managing information on PC  2004 , and in this information program  2003 , a huge variety of data processing and event operation are carried out, by use of information of the display apparatuses  2002   a ,  2002   b  which is sent from the transfer apparatus  2001 , and by preliminary set/registered information and processing procedures, and image information and an operation instruction are sent to an arbitrary transfer apparatus to control/manage display to the display apparatuses  2002   a ,  2002   b.    
      In the display apparatuses  2002   a , 2002   b , an electronic paper which is a rewritable electronic display apparatus which can keep display without power supply, an antenna which receives electromagnetic waves as seen in a configuration of a wireless tag, means for taking out and converting electric power from this electromagnetic wave, means for taking out information, and means for storing the generated electric power are disposed. Further, means for recording a display image on the electronic paper from the received information, and means for controlling these are incorporated therein.  
      As the electronic paper which is used for the display apparatus, utilized is such an electrophoresis or magnetophoresis type electronic paper in which two sheets, which face to each other through a predetermined gap and at least one of which transmits light, are disposed and an developer, in which one or plural kinds of electrified fine particles, which are different in optical reflection density and color, are contained, is filled up between these sheets, and by applying an electric field or a magnetic field to this developer, fine particles are moved in the sheet and optical reflection density and color are changed.  
      Besides this, it is possible to utilize a display apparatus by use of publicly known technical means, e.g., a type of twisting ball, phase-stable liquid crystal, CN liquid crystal, toner display, electronic powder and granular material etc.  
      The scanner  2006  is such a thing that communication means with a wireless tag is disposed in publicly known image reading means, and at the time of reading a display image of an electronic paper with a tag, tag information is read out together with image data.  
      Firstly, details of a basis system configuration shown in  FIG. 42  will be described by  FIG. 43  through  FIG. 48 .  
       FIG. 43  is an internal block diagram of the transfer apparatus in the embodiment  2001  of the invention, and it is equipped with CPU  2011 , ROM(Read Only Memory)/RAM(Random Access Memory)  2012  which is storage means, an interface circuit  2013   a  with PC  2004 , an antenna drive circuit  2014 , an antenna  2015   a , a storage battery  2016 , a buzzer drive circuit  2017 , and a buzzer  2018 .  
      CPU  2011  controls an operation of the transfer apparatus  2001 , by a program which is mounted on ROM and RAM  2012 . The transfer apparatus  2001  is connected to PC  2004  by a PC interface circuit  2013   a , through the use of, for example, USB2.0 specification cable. Therefore, the transfer apparatus  2001  doe not need a power supply circuit, and receives supply of electric power from the USB cable which is connected to PC, and stores this in the storage battery  2016 , and can be driven by this electric power.  2001 P is a direct-current power source power which is supplied to each circuit block and outputted from the storage battery  2016 . It is possible to output a warning sound and an operation sound, by the buzzer drive circuit  2017  and the buzzer  2018 .  
      Meanwhile, as this embodiment, it is configured in such a manner that the transfer apparatus  2001  does not need a power supply circuit, but it is all right even if it is a configuration having an AC power supply circuit and a battery as power source means. In addition, it is all right even if the buzzer drive circuit  2017  and the buzzer  2018  are not mounted. It is desirable that RAM of ROM/RAM  2012  is a non-volatile type one which has such capacity that it is possible to store display data of one or a plurality of display screens, and further, in which there occurs almost no electric power consumption and which can keep up a content for a long stretch of time.  
       FIG. 44  is an internal block diagram of the display apparatus in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and it is a thing which is configured in such a manner that writing of an electronic paper section  2200   a  can be carried out by a surface.  
      In  FIG. 44 , the display apparatus  2002  is equipped with CPU  2021  for controlling an operation of the display apparatus  2002 , ROM/RAM  2022  which are a storage apparatus for holding/recording a control program and data, a RF conversion circuit  2023  for extracting signals from electromagnetic waves with wireless frequency which were received by a transmission/reception antenna (hereinafter, simply referred to as antenna)  2025 , an AC/DC conversion circuit  2024  for extracting electric energy from electromagnetic waves received by the antenna  2025  to convert it into direct-current power source power, an antenna  2025  for communicating with the transfer apparatus  2001  by electromagnetic waves, a storage batter  2026  for storing direct-current power source power which is generated in the AC/DC conversion circuit  2024 , an electronic paper section  2200   a , a display section  2027 B, and a recording control circuit  2028 .  
      Here, electric power of the storage battery  2026  is used for an recording operation to the electronic paper section  2200   a.    
      A portion SCM, which is surrounded by a broken line in  FIG. 44 , is of the same configuration as constituent elements in case of realizing a wireless tag, and it can have an individual ID as an identification mark, and this circuit section can be realized by an extremely small size IC. In this regard, however, in this embodiment, since a circuit for writing to the electronic paper section  2200   a  which consumes far larger electric power as compared to a chip of a general wireless tag is mounted, basic specifications of the antenna  2025  which receives electric power, the AC/DC conversion circuit  2024  which converts its energy and the storage  2026  are different significantly. For example, even if electromagnetic waves with frequency of 1 MHz are effectively received to convert a low AC voltage which is taken out from the antenna  2025  into a DC voltage of 25V, its electric power may be stored in a capacitor which is composed of an electric double layer capacitor so as to be utilized as the storage battery  2026 .  
      Meanwhile, it is all right even if a control circuit for taking out a stable voltage is incorporated in the storage battery  2026 .  
       FIG. 45 ( a ) is a cross sectional view of the electronic paper in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and ( b ) is a view which shows a cross section region of the electronic paper in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and ( c ) is a view which shows a pixel drive circuit of the electronic paper in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and  FIG. 45 ( a ) shows a cross section region A-A of  FIG. 45 ( b ).  
      In  FIG. 45 ( a ),  1200 M designates a micro capsule having an electronic ink function, and  2200 S designates an optically transparent sheet for sandwiching the micro capsule  2200 M, and  2200 T designates a non-conductive binder for bonding the micro capsule  2200 M to the sheet  2200 S. On an inner whole surface of the sheet  2200 S on the side of a display surface, there is a transparent electrode  2201 S, and on an inside of the sheet  2200 S on the side of a rear surface which is opposite to this, a plurality of pixel electrodes  2127 BS are formed.  
      Here, it is possible to configure in such a manner that the micro capsule  2200 M is filled with a plurality of particles and dyed suspension fluid, and the particles have different optical reflection characteristics and further, have contrasting electrophoresis polarities, and for example, by utilizing particles  2200 K which are of a black color and are electrically charged to + (plus) and particles  2200 W which are of a white color and are electrically charged to − (minus),  2200 L is filled with transparent suspension fluid.  
      Meanwhile, as this embodiment, both surfaces of the electronic paper  2200   a  were configured as the transparent sheets  2200 S, but a rear surface side may be configured by a non-transparent sheet, a metal sheet and an insulating film.  
      In the display section  2027 B of  FIG. 45 ( b ),  2027 BS designates a pixel electrode, and  2027 BT designates a switching device, and  2028 R designates a lateral direction drive circuit, and  2028 C designates a vertical direction drive circuit.  
      On the display section  2027 B, a plurality of the pixel electrodes  2027 BS are placed, and on each pixel electrode  2027 BS, the switching device  2027 BT is disposed with respect to each pixel. As shown in  FIG. 45 ( c ), a gate electrode and a source electrode of the switching device  2027 BT are connected to a source line  2027 C and a gate line  2027 R which are connected to the drive circuits  2028 R and  2028 C and are lateral direction and vertical direction wirings, and can matrix-drive the pixel electrode  2027 BS connected to a drain electrode of the switching device  2027 BT, individually. Since an electric field is generated between the driven pixel electrode  2027 BS and its transparent electrode  2201 S, movement of electrified particles is carried out in the micro capsule  2200 M which is located between them.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the drive circuits  2028 R and  2028 C are separated from the recording control circuit  2028 , but it is possible to configure an integral type by incorporating them into the  2 CM portion surrounded by a broken line.  
      Further, in this embodiment, one switching device  2027 B is disposed on one pixel electrode  2027 BS, but it is all right even if an active matrix drive configuration by disposing a power line and a plurality of switching devices thereon.  
       FIG. 46 ( a ) is a transition diagram of the information program in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and is composed of operation blocks of information registration, output setup, and processing. Normally, the information program waits for occurrence of each event, and in case that an event occurred, its operation block is executed.  
       FIG. 46 ( b ) is a flow chart which shows an operation outline in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and by this figure, hereinafter, an operation will be described in detail.  
      When a user enters into an information registration mode from a menu screen, which is not shown in the figure, of the information program  2003 , it goes to an information registration step S 2031 , to register display information to be displayed on the display apparatus  2002  such as images and characters and individual attribute information as to users, and further, individual information for managing the display apparatus  2002 , in PC  2004 . Here, the display information means document information which is configured by image information formed as data by the scanner and texts, figures, graphs and pictures etc. prepared by application software. In addition, as to the user, there is also a form of use by a plurality of person such as persons on the side of taking a look at information and persons on the side of managing/providing information. Then, in order to identify and manage a plurality of users, various personal information such as name and position and authority in a company, age and password for security management is managed, and thereby, it becomes possible to provide diversified conveniences.  
      Next, in PC  2004 , when a user enters into a mode of output setup from the menu screen, which is not shown in the figure, of the information program  2003 , it goes to an output setup step S 2032 . In the output setup step S 2032 , as to information to be displayed, a user carries out various output setups. For example, information which is desired to be displayed, specification of a user, selection of a display apparatus, specification of a transfer apparatus, image deterioration parameter at the time of copying, specification of the number of generations of copying, a period during which display is carried out, etc. are set up arbitrarily. Information of these output setups is recorded and stored in PC  2004  or an external storage apparatus  2004 M which is connected to PC  2004 .  
      Here, it is possible to prepare the information which is desired to be displayed, by processing registered information, in accordance with personal information of a user who possesses the display apparatus  2002  and a user which is validated by PC  2003 , by a processing procedure which is prepared in advance.  
      For example, various information processing and applications such as to display only a part of registration information, to combine a plurality of information, and to restrict a period during which display is possible, are possible.  
      Hereinafter, as to such an example that information of a material  1 , which is registered as information and is not shown in the figure, is outputted to the two display apparatuses  2002   a  and  2002   b  of ID=n 1  and ID=n 2 , through the transfer apparatus  2001  which is connected to PC  2004 , after copy attribute of an image quality deterioration rate 5% is added thereto, its operation will be described.  
      The transfer apparatus  2001  is connected to PC  2004 , and when a power supply is started, it outputs, in a step S 11 , information D 2001  including individual ID as electromagnetic waves of predetermined signals, periodically, from the antenna  2015   a . The step S 2011  doubling as ID sending-out and electromagnetic wave supply, and display apparatus detection of the step S 2012  are carried out successively and continuously. Here, in case that it is detected by received electric power in a step S 2021  that a user approaches to the transfer apparatus  2001  over bringing the display apparatuses  2002   a ,  2002   b  with one, and is located within such a distance that it is possible to receive electromagnetic waves, the display apparatuses  2002   a , 2002   b  goes to a step S 2022  by using energy of the electronic waves as electric power, and send out information D 2002  including individual IDs that the display apparatus  2002   a  and  2002   b  have, to the transfer apparatus  2001 . The transfer apparatus  2001  sends out such information D 2003  that ID(m) of the transfer apparatus  2001  is included in individual ID of any one of the display apparatuses  2002   a  and  2002   b , which is detected in the step S 2012 , to PC 2004 . The display apparatuses  2002   a  and  2002   b , when they carry out ID sending-out, go to a step S 2023 , and receive electronic waves from the transfer apparatus  2001  and carry out energy charging to the storage battery  2026 . Subsequently, they are waiting until they receive instruction from the transfer apparatus  2001  in a step S 2024 , over repeating the ID sending-out of the step S 2022  and the charging operation of the step S 2023 .  
      Meanwhile, on the occasion of sending out the ID sending-out from the display apparatuses  2002   a  or  2002   b , in order to avoid collision by sending-out at simultaneous timing, it is all right even if setup of ID sending-out timing by random numbers is carried out by using the reception of electromagnetic waves in the step S 2021  as a trigger, and means for lowering probability of simultaneous outputting is provided.  
      When PC  2004  detects that, in a step S 2033 , detection of the display apparatus  2002   a  or  2002   b  and its ID information are sent from the transfer apparatus  2001 , and it is an output specified apparatus, judging from individual information which is output set up in advance in the step S 2032 , and further, confirms that a specified output condition is satisfied, it goes to a step S 2034 , and carries out information processing in accordance with output setup information which is set u in the step S 2032 . Here, since such a setup that the material  1  is outputted to the display apparatus  2002   a  of ID=n 1  and the display apparatus  2002   b  of ID=n 2  after copy attribute (image quality deterioration rate 5%) is attached thereto is recorded in the output setup, PC  2004 , which received firstly detected ID information of the display apparatus  2002   a , processes it to image information with such a size that it can be displayed on the electronic paper, from information of the material  1  stored in PC  2004  or in the external storage apparatus  2004 M of PC  2004 , and goes to a step S 2035 . In the step S 2035 , an instruction of an image output is transmitted to the transfer apparatus  2001  of ID=m which detects the display apparatus  2002  of ID=n 1 , as information D 2004 .  
      The information D 2004  is configured by an operation instruction (in this embodiment, image display) which is information for specifying an apparatus operation as instruction information, transfer apparatus ID and display apparatus ID for showing an instruction destination, image data to be transferred (in this embodiment, images of the material  1 ) and instruction attached information for setting up details regarding the operation instruction, etc., as shown in a block diagram of the information D 2004  in the embodiment 28 of the invention. Meanwhile, the instruction attached information in this embodiment includes instruction attached information such as an image quality deterioration rate 5% and copy generation number limiting value, as an attached operation setup in an image display operation.  
      Meanwhile, in case that there is not any setup to be instructed in output setups which are recorded in the step S 32 , it is moved to an event waiting state shown in  FIG. 46 ( a ).  
      When the transfer apparatus  2001  receives instruction information D 2004  from PC  2004  in the step S 2013 , it processes its instruction. Since the transfer apparatus  2001  detects and comprehends whether or not the display apparatus  2002   a  of ID=n 1  is located within such a range that the transfer apparatus  2001  can receive it, in case that it is within the range, it goes to the step S 2014  for instruction processing. In addition, in case that the specified display apparatus  2002   a  can not be detected, it stands ready over repeating the step S 2011  through the step S 2012 , until it can be detected. Since an instruction here is an image output of the material  1  to the display apparatus  2002   a  of ID=n 1 , in the step S 2014 , image information of the material  1  and instruction attached information are transmitted from the antenna  2015   a  as information D 1005 , together with instruction information showing that it is an output to the display apparatus  2002   a  of ID=n 1  in the step S 2013 .  
      In the display apparatus  2002   a , when it is recognized that it is an image output instruction to itself in the step S 2024 , stores image information of the material  2001 , which is being sent at the same time, in built-in ROM/RAM  2022 .  
      The display apparatus  2002   a  carries out display drawing processing of images on the basis of received image data ( FIG. 48  ( a ) a view which shows original image data in the embodiment 28 of the invention) and instruction attached information of an image quality deterioration rate 5%, in the step S 2025  ( FIG. 48 ( b ) a view which shows image data after image deterioration processing of original data in the embodiment of the invention), and writes the processed image in the electronic paper section  2200   a . When writing of received all information is completed in the display drawing processing step, it goes to a step S 2026 , to transmit a signal D 2006  of instruction processing completion together with instruction information and ID information, to the transfer apparatus  2001 .  
      Here,  FIG. 47 ( b ) is a flow chart which shows image quality deterioration processing in the embodiment 28 of the invention, and image quality deterioration processing in this embodiment will be described by use of this figure.  
      In the display drawing processing, random numbers of 1 through 100 are generated every time one pixel is obtained from image data. Since an image quality deterioration rate is 5%, the random number, which is generated in the step S 2043 , is compared with “5”, and in case that the random number is the same or smaller, pixel processing is carried out in a step S 2044 . In case that it is larger, it is confirmed whether or not image data is a final pixel in a step S 2045 , and in case that it is not a final one, the same processing is repeated as to a next pixel in a step S 2046 . If it is the final pixel, processing is finished in a step S 2047 .  
      In the pixel processing of the step S 2044 . By being replaced with original image data as black or white, noise is overlapped therewith, so that image deterioration processing is carried out. Meanwhile, overlapped noise is not the random number, but may be a fixed non-periodic pattern which corresponds to a image quality deterioration rate.  
      In addition, as a noise overlapping method, as substitute for blackening or whitening of a pixel, processing called as information inversion of a pixel selected with specific probability (white→black, black→white), or arithmetic processing of a pixel as an object and its peripheral pixels may be used. Meanwhile, it is desirable that these processing are carried out by a processing method which can be realized even by means of simple hardware.  
      When image quality processed data is image-drawn on the electronic paper and completed, an executed display image quality deterioration rate of instruction attached information in the display apparatus  2002   a  is rewritten from 0 to 5%.  
      Returning to  FIG. 5 ( b ), the transfer apparatus  1 , when it receives instruction completion from the display apparatus  2002   a  in the step S 15 , outputs a response signal D 2007  from the antenna  15   a , and goes to a step S 2016 . Further, it outputs instruction completion information D 2008  to PC  2004  from the PC interface  2013   a  in a step S 2016 , and goes to a step S 2017  for waiting for a response from PC  2004 .  
      PC  2004 , after it outputted an instruction in the step S 2035 , goes to a step S 2036 , and waits for instruction completion information D 2008  from the transfer apparatus  2001 , and when it confirms the instruction completion information D 2008 , transmits a response signal D 2009  to the transfer apparatus  2001 , and goes to a step S 2037 . In the step S 2037 , PC  2004  records such a matter that a part of specified processing is completed, as a history, in storage means in PC  2004 , which is not shown in the figure, or in the external storage apparatus  2004 M which is connected to PC  2004 . For example, log information such as a count numerical value of the number of copies, ID of a display apparatus at a copy destination, and copying time is recorded.  
      Next, processing, which is called as an image output of the material  1  to the display apparatus  2002   b  and remained as not-executed, is carried out through the transfer apparatus  2001  in the same manner as the above-described output operation to the display apparatus  2002   a.    
      The transfer apparatus  2001 , when it receives and confirms the response signal D 2009  from PC  2004  in the step S 2017 , goes back to the first step S 2011 , and repeats the same operation to the display apparatus  2002   b.    
      Further, in case that the display apparatus  2002   a  is moved to make a copy of a display image of the display apparatus  2002   a  to the display apparatus  2002   c  this time, in a separate similar environment which is not shown in the figure, 5% deteriorated image data and attribute information of an executed display image quality deterioration rate (5%) and an image quality deterioration rate (5%) which is set up when it is firstly outputted from an information source (information provider) are transferred from the display apparatus  2002   a  to PC  2004  through another transfer apparatus  2001 , and the above-described information is sent from PC  2004  to the display apparatus  2002   c  through another transfer apparatus  2001 .  
      Meanwhile, in the transfer apparatus  2001 , by enlarging CPU  2011  and memory capacity and mounting a processing program to change it to a high-performance one, it is also possible to carry out distribution of information to the display apparatus  2002   b  directly from the display  2002   a  through the transfer apparatus  2001 , without interposition of PC  2004 .  
      Further, in the above-described step S 2026 , step S 2015  and step S 2016 , instruction completion information D 2006  and D 2008  were outputted, but it is also possible to transmit intermediate step processing information of an instruction, several times, until processing to PC  2004  is completed.  
      In the display apparatus  2002   c , image quality deterioration processing of 5% is further applied on 5% deteriorated image data which is received, to be displayed. Here, an executed display image quality deterioration rate of instruction attached information in the display apparatus  2002   c  is rewritten from 5% to 10%. Meanwhile, an image quality deterioration rate is stored as 5% without change.  
      In this case, if it is copied, say, up to 20 generations, it becomes all black or all white, or one with a white-to-black ratio 50%, so that it is turned in a completely illegible state, and it is possible to give the same advantage as that of analog copying.  
      According to the electronic paper system by use of the suchlike configuration, by communicating with display apparatuses  2002   a  and  2002   b  through the use of the transfer apparatus  2001  in a non-contact manner, and detecting the display apparatus  2002   a  and  2002   b , and having the information program  2003  recognized solid object identification information on the display side, it is possible to carry out a huge variety of data processing from preliminary set/registered information and processing procedures, on the basis of solid object identification information, and to send image information and an operation instruction to an arbitrary transfer apparatus, and to control/manage display on a desired display apparatus.  
      Therefore, after an output setup is completed, simply by approximating the display apparatus to the transfer apparatus, it is possible to display desired information on an arbitrary display apparatus, so that it is possible to provide a printing solution environment which does not exist in the past.  
      In addition, since an electronic paper enables repetitive writing and erasing, dit can be utilized for the purpose of reduction of a paper resource which is isted in the past, by a trial output of a prepared material etc.  
      Further, by giving attached information regarding copying, it is possible to deteriorate image quality by lowering contrast of image information gradually every time copying is carried out, by means of a simple method, and it is possible to restrict a copying number, and therefore, it becomes possible to give a huge variety of restrictions, as maintenance of information security and copyrights, even to a conduct of copying etc.  
      In addition, even in case that a display apparatus is moved before copying is completed and it is turned into such a state that communication is impossible and processing is interrupted, it is possible to transfer only remaining copy information, when a display apparatus is again approximated to a transfer apparatus and it is turned into such a state that communication is possible, by managing intermediate step information of processing, and stability improvement of an operation becomes possible.  
      Meanwhile, in an explanation of this embodiment, the case of processing from information of the material  1  to image information with such a size that it can be displayed on the electronic paper is described as information processing, but it is possible to realize various conveniences such as efficiency/advertising effect due to calling for attention to a user/reconfirmation/summary of information, by having a display apparatus executed a huge variety of information processing, such as by having it processed only a part of the material  1  from an attribute of a user, and by having it added another information to the material  1 .  
      For example, as shown in  FIG. 48 ( c ) as a view which shows image data to which information of original image data is added in the embodiment 28 of the invention, it is possible to add name information D 1  of a user of copying to an image.  
      In addition, as shown in  FIG. 48 ( d ) as a view which shows image data to which information of original image data is added in the embodiment 28 of the invention, it is also possible to add information D 2002  of an image display restriction as to a period and a place to an image.  
      Further, as an attached attribute of copying, the example of an image quality deterioration rate is explained, but by giving an attribute such as a simultaneous copy number and a total copy number to original information in which there is no deterioration, as to information with perfect image quality, it is possible to restrict its total copy number, and it becomes possible to set up a restriction such as to allow only a specific group member to make a copy.  
     Embodiment 29  
       FIG. 49  is a block diagram of an electronic paper system in an embodiment 29 of the invention. In  FIG. 49 , the same reference numerals and signs are used as to the same constituent elements as those in  FIG. 43  through  FIG. 48 , to omit explanations.  
       FIG. 49  shows a configuration of a complex system utilizing such an electronic paper system that a plurality of transfer apparatuses  2001  and PCs  2004  are placed in a room.  
      In  FIG. 49 , in this embodiment, a table  2007  for placing PC  2004  and the transfer apparatus  2001  thereon and a wall  2008  which partitions the room are provided, and a transfer apparatus  2001 B with a connection apparatus, which has such a function that it can be connected to a network wirelessly, is disposed as another form of the transfer apparatus  2001 , and thereby, an electronic paper system is configured.  
      In PC  2004  to which the transfer apparatus  2001  is connected, the information program  2003  is installed respectively.  
      In this regard, however, one information program  2003  becomes a master which manages and controls an entirety, and others are operated under its control, in cooperation with the information program  2003  which is set up as the master. These cooperation operations are carried out by an operation block S 2030  for processing of  FIG. 46 ( a ).  
       FIG. 50  is a block diagram of the transfer apparatus in the embodiment 29 of the invention, and in  FIG. 50 , the same reference numerals and signs are used as to the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 43 , to omit explanations. The transfer apparatus  2001 B is of almost the same configuration as that of the transfer apparatus  2001 , and a different point is that an interface circuit to communicate with PC is a wireless communication interface circuit  2013   b  which corresponds to wireless communication such as Bluetooth and wireless LAN which are known technologies, and an antenna  2015   b  and a power supply circuit  2019  for that purpose are provided.  
      The transfer apparatus  2001 B is in such a state that it is always connected to a network, and management of them is carried out by the information program  2003  which is set up in the master which can manage an entire system.  
      On that account, in ROM/RAM  2012  which is a storage apparatus incorporated in the transfer apparatus  2001 , individual ID information is set up. By this ID information, it becomes possible for the information problem  2003  to identify a plurality of transfer apparatuses.  
      Meanwhile, the power supply circuit  2019  can be also configured by means which does not utilize an AC power source, such as a dry batter and a solar battery.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, by communicating with display apparatus  2002  through the use of the transfer apparatus  2001  in a non-contact manner, and detecting the display apparatus  2002 , and having the information program  2003  recognized it on the basis of solid object identification information on the display side, it is possible to carry out location management of the display apparatus  2002  and warning to taking-out to a user and control and management of its display information, in accordance with set/registered information and processing procedures.  
      For example, it is possible to display copy information, passing through a transfer apparatus which is present at another place, on a display apparatus which is disposed in its vicinity. In addition, at such a time point that a display apparatus, which is brought in with an attendant, is held up on the transfer apparatus, it is possible to draw information on that display apparatus.  
      Further, it is possible to realize such a matter that the display apparatus is taken out from a specified area, and an instruction for erasing information is sent to the display apparatus, and an image is erased. In addition, it becomes possible to realize such a matter that a warning sound is emitted from the transfer apparatus and PC on site, to warning proceeding which is set up in advance such as taking-out from a specified area and a case wherein a display apparatus is moved from a detection available area, and display information is automatically erased at time specified in the display apparatus, and information is updated.  
      Therefore, it is possible to establish a wide utilization environment in which it is possible to use an electronic paper and management of its display information by an electronic paper system in an organized way.  
      Meanwhile, although it is omitted and is not described, information for a user, an apparatus and control and management of display information is processed in cooperation with PC and managed uniformly.  
     Embodiment 30  
       FIG. 51  is a block diagram of a display apparatus in an embodiment 30 of the invention. In  FIG. 51 , the same reference numerals and signs are used as to the same constituent elements as those in  FIG. 44 , to omit explanations. A display apparatus  2002  of  FIG. 51  is such a thing that writing to an electronic paper is carried out by a surface, with it being sandwiched by two surfaces. In  FIG. 50 , it is configured in such a manner that a recording surface  2027 A, which is connected to a recording control circuit  2028 , has an electronic paper  2200   b  which is a recording section, and can be contacted closely to an electrode sheet  2201 . Meanwhile, a  2002 B portion, which is surrounded by a broken line, is a circuit other than a display section, and can be made as IC through the use of one chip.  
      Thus, it is utilized in such a state that the electronic paper  2200   b  is placed on the recording surface  2027 A of the display apparatus  2002 , and sandwiched by the optically transparent electrode sheets  2201 , entire surfaces of which transparent electrodes were placed.  
      Here, the electronic paper  2200   b  is detachable from the display apparatus  2002 , by controlling opening/closing of the electrode sheet  2201  to the recording surface  2027   a , through the use of a mechanism which is not shown in the figure, and this control of attaching/detaching is managed by the information program  2003 .  
       FIG. 52 ( a ) is a cross sectional view of the electronic paper in the embodiment 30 of the invention, and ( b ) is a view which shows a cross section region of the electronic paper in the embodiment 30 of the invention, and  FIG. 52 ( b ) shows a cross section region B-B of  FIG. 52 ( a ).  
      On the recording surface  2027 A, a plurality of pixel electrodes  2027 AS are placed, and connected to a recording control circuit  2028  by wiring which is not shown in the figure. There is a transparent electrode  2201 S, on a surface of the electrode sheet  2201 , which is in contact with the electronic paper  2200   b , and an electric field is generated by applying an arbitrary voltage between it and the above-described pixel electrode  2027 AS, it is possible to carry out writing to the electronic paper  2200   b.    
       FIG. 53 ( a ) is a block diagram of the electronic paper in the embodiment 30 of the invention, and ( b ) is a cross sectional view which explains a writing operation at the time of the electronic paper in the embodiment 30 of the invention, and  FIG. 53 ( b ) shows a cross section region C-C of  FIG. 53 ( a ). In the electronic paper  2200   b , on an outside of a display area  200   p  including a micro capsule  2200 M, a wireless tag  2210  is bonded by a non-conductive binder  2200 T and sandwiched between it and the optically transparent sheet  2200 S, in the same manner as the micro capsule  2200 M.  
      The wireless tag apparatus  2210 , which is known as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), is configured by the same circuit block of CPU  2021 , ROM/RAM  2022 , a RF conversion circuit  2023 , an AC/DC conversion circuit  2024 , an antenna  2025 , a storage battery  2026  as that shown in the display apparatus  2002 , and a small-size one with a size of a sesame grain level is put to practical use.  
      This wireless tag  2210  can be configured so as to carry out wireless communication directly with the transfer apparatus  2001 , or carry out wireless communication with the display apparatus  2002 , or carry out wireless communication with a tag reader which is incorporated in the scanner  2006  and is not shown in the figure.  
      In the display apparatus  2002  of the electronic paper system of the suchlike configuration, it is possible to take a look at and carry on information in such a state that it is sandwiched by transparent electrode sheets  2201 , and therefore, it is possible to realize improvement of convenience in such a manner that it is possible to use it in such a state that the electronic paper is not curled up. Similarly to this, such a form that a material is sandwiched in a clear file (name of commodity) as a stationary to be carried on is generally utilized well, but in addition to this conventional convenience, it is possible to rewrite display on the electronic paper, and therefore, it is possible to reduce an amount of papers to be carried on. Further, it is possible to take out and take a look at the recorded electronic paper, and therefore, it is possible to mitigate feeling of fatigue of a user, as compared to a case of holding up the display apparatus and taking a look at it, since it is of lighter weight when a user holds up it.  
      In addition, even in such a specification that the electronic paper is detachable from the display apparatus  2002 , information management of the detached electronic paper becomes possible without a attaching/detaching mechanism which is mounted on the display apparatus  2002  for the purpose of monitoring. Further, if it is read out by the scanner  2006 , it is possible to read out tag information which is attached to the paper, simultaneously with image data, and therefore, continuity of uniform management and copy limitation etc. of information is maintained.  
      For example, if the above-described image quality deterioration rate is set up, by applying image quality deterioration processing before image data, which is outputted from the scanner, is outputted to PC, it can be continued. Further, if it is in a copy inhibition state, it becomes possible to inhibit image reading and output such warning that there is copyright violation.  
      Meanwhile, in this embodiment, one wireless tag is mounted, but it is all right even if a plurality of wireless tags, and plural kinds of wireless tags which correspond to different wireless frequencies are mounted. Further, here, the wireless tag  2210 , which is made by a semiconductor chip, is incorporated, but it is all right even if a circuit pattern by use of an organic semiconductor is formed as a pattern on the optically transparent sheet  2200 S.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it is possible to improve simultaneous detection ability of plural electronic papers, and an electronic paper with a uniform thickness becomes possible.

      Meanwhile, both surfaces of the electronic paper were configured by the transparent sheets  2200 S, but one side may be configured by a non-transparent sheet, and a sheet to which metal is deposited. In addition, it is also possible to utilize the electronic paper  2200   b  in which a wireless tag is incorporated, as an electronic paper.  
       FIG. 46  is a schematic view which shows a writing operation to the electronic paper in the embodiment 31 of the invention. By switching a voltage which is applied between one pixel electrode  2027 S of the recording head  2027  in which pixel electrodes were disposed in a line shape, and the common electrode (electrode sheet)  2201  and its polarity through the use of the recording control circuit  2028 , the electrified particles  2200 K and  2200 W in the micro capsule  2200 M are electrophoresed, to write a display image on a lower side of the recording head  2027 , in a line shape, and further, by moving the recording head  2027  in a Y direction, a next line is recorded, and thereby, it is possible to write on an entire surface of the electronic paper  2200   b.    
      Meanwhile, the recording head  2027  is moved by a conveying mechanism, but it is also possible to fix a position of the recording head  2027 , and to move the electronic paper  2200   b  by a conveying mechanism which is not shown in the figure.

     Embodiment 32  
      In the above-described embodiments shown in  FIG. 51  and  FIG. 54 , the electronic paper  2200   b , which is a display device of the display apparatus  2002 , is of such a configuration that it is detachable from the display apparatus and only one piece is set therein, but it is also possible to configure in such a manner that a plurality of electronic papers can be detached individually. Further, it is also possible to configure in such a manner that a plurality of different size electronic papers can be detached individually. In addition, it is possible to realize such a configuration that an electronic paper is fixed to the display apparatus  2002  and is not detachable and to have information storage means incorporated in the display apparatus  2002 .  
      By the display apparatus  2002  of the electronic paper system of the suchlike configuration, it is possible to display much more information at one time, and it is possible to take along only necessary information readily. Further, if storage means is incorporated, it is possible to receive and store display information together with management information, and to carry out writing and erasing of information and information management only by the display apparatus  2002 , and therefore, it becomes possible to display much more information by itself.  
     Embodiment 33  
      In the above-described display apparatus  2002  of  FIG. 54 , the recording head  2027  is moved to the electronic paper  2200   b  to carry out writing, but t is also possible to configure in such a manner that the recording head  2027  is fixed like a thermal printer, and the electronic paper  2200   b  is conveyed.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it is possible to more miniaturize the display apparatus  2002  of the electronic paper system.  
     Embodiment 34  
      Although it is not described in the above-described transfer apparatus  2001  shown in  FIG. 43  and  FIG. 50 , it is possible to provide display function means such as a liquid crystal display on the transfer apparatuses  2001 ,  2001 B.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, in the transfer apparatus of the electronic paper system, much more information provision and instructions become possible to warning and attention to users, and it is possible to improve convenience.  
     Embodiment 35  
      In the above-described  FIG. 43  and  FIG. 50 , the buzzer  2018  is disposed, but besides the buzzer  2018 , it is also possible to mount means such as vibration and blinking by light which are acknowledged by users. Further, it is also possible to provide warning means by a warning sound through the use of the buzzer  2018  which PC  2004  has and display on a display screen. In addition, it is also possible to provide warning means on the occasion of writing to the electronic paper section  200   a , the electronic paper  2200   b  from the display apparatus  2002 .  
      According to the suchlike configuration, user acknowledgment as to warning etc. can be further improved.  
     Embodiment 36  
      As to the recording section to the electronic paper of the display apparatus  2002  shown in  FIG. 44 ,  FIG. 51 , and  FIG. 54 , it is possible to configure its circuit by use of an organic semiconductor. In particular, it is desirable to use an organic series field effect transistor as the switching device  2027 BT shown in  FIG. 45  ( b ).  
      For example, PEDOT (poly-ethylene dioxythiophene), which is conductive polymer, is drawn by means of an ink jet method, to form a source, a drain and a gate, and, on the source and the drain, a semiconductor layer of conjugated type polymer, a film thickness of which is set to 30 nm or less, is formed by means of a spin coat method, and a high polymer insulating layer with film thickness 500 nm is formed thereon by means of a spin coat method, and a gate is formed thereon, and thereby, it is possible to realize TFT (thing film transistor) with a top gate structure.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it becomes possible to make the display apparatus  2002  or electric paper section thinner to save weight.  
     Embodiment 37  
      It is possible to configure an antenna, which is mounted on the above-described transfer apparatus  2001 , display apparatus  2002  and scanner  2006 , by an organic material.  
      For example, the antenna is configured by a metal plate, a magnetic material and a conductor pattern. In order to prevent radiation of a unnecessary electromagnetic field from a surface which is opposite to a table in the transfer apparatus  2001 , a metal sheet such as aluminum is used for one surface of an antenna section, and on it, a magnetic material, or a hybrid material made by mixing an inorganic material such as a magnetic material and a dielectric material and a high polymer organic material, is laminated by press etc., and further on it, an antenna pattern is formed by an organic material with an extremely low resistance value and high conductivity is formed by an ink jet method, to manufacture a sheet-shaped antenna. In this sheet-shaped antenna, an IC chip, in which a peripheral circuit is incorporated, is mounted thereon, so as to be in contact with an end portion of an antenna pattern, so that an apparatus is configured.  
      Meanwhile, in the antenna of the display apparatus  2002 , the above-described metal plate for shield may be eliminated.  
      In case of carrying out electric power transmission between the transfer apparatus and the display apparatus in a non-contact manner, it is possible to utilize electromagnetic induction, but generally, in an antenna by use of a coil which is used in a PHS terminal and an electric razor, its electric power transmission efficiency is as lois approximately 20 through 30%, and coils, the number of turns of which is increased for the purpose of heightening a voltage to be taken out, are wound around a ferrite core, and therefore, an antenna itself is enlarged.  
      In this embodiment, by carrying out electric power transmission/reception through the use of high frequency of 100 kHz or more, use of an organic material becomes possible so that efficiency can be also improved.  
      Thus, according to the suchlike configuration, weight saving becomes possible, by making the transfer apparatus  2001  and the display apparatus  2002  smaller/thinner.  
     Embodiment 38  
      The above-described antenna and wireless tag, which are mounted on the transfer apparatus  2001  and the display apparatus  2002 , are configured by one type, but it is possible to configure it by a plurality of different antennas and wireless tags, in order to utilize different wireless systems.  
       FIG. 57  is a block diagram of an electronic paper in an embodiment 38 of the invention. In  FIG. 57 ,  2002 CM designates IC (Integrated Circuit) of the circuit block shown in  FIG. 54 , and  2025 S designates an antenna for carrying out communication with the transfer apparatus  1 , and  2025 P designates an antenna for receiving electric power supply from the transfer apparatus  2001 . The electric power antenna  2025 P can be placed around a display section to enable its enlargement.  
      Here, these antennas can be configured in such a manner that a metal material or an organic material is formed on a sheet as a pattern and it is formed on the same layer as a display medium such as micro capsules etc. to be used in a display section, by deposition or painting.  
      Further, as to the storage battery  2016 , it is possible to dispose a sheet-shaped capacitor on a lower surface of a sheet.  
      Meanwhile, in  FIG. 57 , the antenna is placed at a peripheral portion, but in particular, in case that the electronic paper section  2200   a  is of a system for thermally recording like a leuko paper, it is also possible to dispose an antenna on an entire rear surface.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it becomes possible to improve electric power transmission efficiency of the transfer apparatus  2001  and the display apparatus  2002  and to make the apparatus thinner. In addition, it becomes possible to realize shortening of communication time.  
     Embodiment 39  
      In the above-described display apparatus  2002 , it is possible to have remaining quantity detection means of the storage battery  2016  incorporated. Further, it is possible to display status information, such as a result of the remaining quantity detection, a communication connection state with the transfer apparatus and electric power receiving sensitivity, on a part of a display section of an electronic paper, or on a dedicated display section which is disposed separately.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it is possible to get hold of the number of pages for display rewriting and speed estimation, further a communication status with a transfer apparatus, in utilization of the display apparatus  2002 , and it becomes possible to realize confirmation of a use position of a display apparatus  2002  and improvement of convenience at the time of taking along.  
     Embodiment 40  
      It is possible to mount a function which is equivalent to the transfer apparatus, or a reader function of a wireless tag on the above-described scanner  2006 , and further, it is possible to dispose such a function by which it is possible to process an image which is read out, and a function by which it is possible to connect to a network.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, it is possible to process image information directly, by taking over restriction such as copy limitation from a tag, even if it is tried to optically read and copy an image which is recorded on a paper to which a wireless tag is attached and a detachable electronic paper, by the scanner. Further, by sending the tag information which is read out, to the information program of PC, it becomes possible to realize cooperation with database information which is incorporated in PC, and it becomes possible to significantly expand a scope of copyright preservation and security management, and thereby, it is possible to establish a scheme which can correspond to various solutions.  
     Embodiment 41  
       FIG. 58 ( a ) is an internal block diagram of a transfer apparatus in an electronic paper system of an embodiment 41 of the invention, and ( b ) is a cross sectional view of the transfer apparatus in the electronic paper system of the embodiment 41 of the invention. In  FIG. 58 , the same reference numerals and signs are used as to the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 43 , to omit explanations. A transfer apparatus  2001  of  FIG. 58  is of such an example that a plurality of antennas  2015   p  for electric power supply and connection circuits  2014   s  and antenna drive circuits  2014   b  were further added to the antenna  2015   a  for wireless communication and its antenna drive circuit  2014   a . An output of the antenna drive circuit  2014   b  is connected to the antenna  2015   p  for electric power supply by the connection circuit  2014   s  which is disposed with respect to each antenna. In addition, each connection circuit  2014   s  is also connected to CPU  2011 , and its connection operation is controlled from CPU  2011 . In addition, the transfer apparatus  2001  is equipped with a power supply circuit  2019 , as a power supply function of this apparatus.  
      Here, it is desirable that, as to the antenna drive circuit  2014   b , its drive circuit operation is controlled depending on the number of connections, in such a manner that predetermined energy is radiated from each antenna, even if the number of antennas  2015   b , which were connected by the connection circuits  2014   s , is changed.  
      The antenna  2015 P is a thing which is configured in such a manner that it is possible to output an electric field, a magnetic field and electromagnetic waves, in a vertical direction to a plate shaped surface of the transfer apparatus  2001 , such as a thing to which a line is wound around a ferrite core, and a thing in which reactance is formed by a pattern. In addition, a plurality of the antennas  2015   p  are placed so as to cover an entire surface of the transfer apparatus  2001 .  
      Meanwhile, in order to prevent energy radiation to a back surface which becomes a back surface direction to a surface of the transfer apparatus, it is desirable to apply a magnetic material (e.g., ferrite) by which a loss is reduced, on a back surface side of the antenna, and further, a metal shield on an outside thereof.  
       FIG. 59 ( a ) is a block diagram of a display apparatus in the embodiment 41 of the invention, and ( b ) is a cross sectional view of the display apparatus in the embodiment 41 of the invention. In FIGS.  59 ( a ),( b ), the same reference numerals and signs are used as to the same constituent elements as those of  FIG. 57 , to omit explanations. On the display apparatus  2002 , a plurality of antennas  2025 P for electric power reception are placed at a periphery of a display area. Each antenna  2025 P is connected to a pattern in a parallel manner, and connected to an IC circuit section  2002 CM which is made as a chip. Electric power, which is received by the antenna  2025 P, is converted into an arbitrary constant voltage in the IC circuit section  202 CM, and supplied to a storage battery  2026  which is placed on the back side of the display area  2200 P.  
      By  FIG. 58  and  FIG. 59 , an operation of a mode for carrying out wireless electric power supply between a display apparatus and a transfer apparatus will be described. A display apparatus  2002  is placed at an arbitrary position on a sheet-shaped transfer apparatus  2001 , and in case that the transfer apparatus  2001  detected existence of the display apparatus  2002  by wireless communication, the transfer apparatus  2001  carries out a detection operation of a position of the display apparatus  2002  on the transfer apparatus  2001  periodically.  
      Here, the position detection operation will be hereinafter described. The connection circuit  2014   s  is controlled by CPU  2011 , so as to have only one piece among a plurality of connection circuits  2014   s  which exist in the transfer apparatus  2001 , connected to the antenna  2015   p . Then, energy is radiated from the connected antenna  2015   p . The display apparatus  2002 , when this energy is received by the antenna  2025 P, can detects that a predetermined electromotive force is received by the IC circuit section  2002 CM.  
      Then, if there is the detected electromotive force, that electromotive force information is sent to the transfer apparatus  2001  by wireless communication. The connection apparatuses are sequentially controlled by the transfer apparatus  2001 , and energy is outputted from the antenna one by one, and a communication response from the display apparatus  2002  is recorded therein.  
      The transfer apparatus  2001  can estimate and get hold of a position of the display apparatus  2002  on the transfer  2001  from the received electromotive force. Therefore, energy supply is realized by wireless, only from an antenna of the transfer apparatus  2001  which is located below the display apparatus  2002 , except an underneath of the display area  2200   p , and is linked to effective electric power supply.  
      Meanwhile, here, as to a size of an antenna, it is preferable that the antenna  2015   p  is smaller than the antenna  2025 P.  
      The electronic paper system of the suchlike configuration, if the display apparatus  2002  is placed on the transfer apparatus  2001 , can detect the display apparatus  2002  by communicating with the same in a non-contact manner, and suppress radiation of unnecessary electromagnetic waves, and carry out electric power supply by wireless. Thus, in this use form, it is easy to carry out sufficient electric power supply to the storage battery of the display apparatus  2002 , and a user recognizes solid object identification information on the display side by the information program  2003 , immediately when writing display is desired, and thereby, it is possible to carry out a huge variety of data processing on the basis of the solid object identification information, from preliminary set/registered information and processing procedures, and to control/manage display to a desired display apparatus which is located at a place where it is possible to communicate with the transfer apparatus, by sending image information and an operation instruction from the transfer apparatus.  
      Further, even in case that a foreign material such as metal, metal shield and magnetic material, which shield or absorb electromagnetic waves, is sandwiched between the display apparatus  2002  and the transfer apparatus  2002 , an antenna, which could not obtain predetermined electromotive force information, is not connected in the transfer apparatus  2001  and is left as not in use, and thereby, it is possible to prevent occurrence of non-safety and energy loss, in wireless electric power supply.  
     Embodiment 42  
      In the above-described transfer apparatus  2001 , a number of antennas  2015   p  were disposed so as to cover a surface, and also in the display apparatus  2002 , many antennas  2025 P were disposed, but it is also possible to configure in such a manner that the antennas  2025 P are disposed only four corners of the display apparatus  2002 , and further, in the transfer apparatus  2001 , a mark is disposed on a surface of the transfer apparatus  2001  so as to catch on a position of the antenna  2015   p , and the number of respective antennas is thinned out.  
      At this time, on the occasion of use by a user, it is all right if it is placed, or held up in such a manner that one of the antennas  2015   p  of the transfer apparatus  2001  and one of the antennas  2025 P of the display apparatus are matched respectively.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, an apparatus is simplified, and therefore, it can be made inexpensively.  
     Embodiment 43  
      The above-described transfer apparatus  2001  may be of a small-sized shape like a mouse pad, but it is also possible to incorporate a larger one in a top surface of an office desk and a conference table.  
      According to the suchlike configuration, a user does not recognize the transfer apparatus so that it is possible to use it simply.  
      In the above-described electronic paper, its operation is described as to an electrophoresis method in which display is carried out by an electric field, but it is a matter of course that it is possible to use other method in which display can be controlled by an electric field, and display can be maintained with no electric power, such as liquid crystals, as a display medium of an electronic paper.  
      Further, even if a rewritable thermal paper line a leuco paper is used, and pixel electrodes of a recording surface are configured by heating elements, it is possible to accomplish the same function.  
      An electronic paper system, which relates to the invention, can display information on a display apparatus with high portability, and further, can manage an image input, images and information to be displayed, a display apparatus or an electronic paper. Thus, the invention is applicable as an electronic paper system which can carry out copying and distribution of information readily, and can realize reduction of a useless paper output, and security management of output information which is impossible by papers.

      The line type head (electric field generation means)  3020  generates a predetermined electric field for carrying out writing of visible information on the sheet medium  3100 , and generates a predetermined electric field for carrying out erasing of visible information written on the sheet medium  3100 . This predetermined electric field becomes a different value depending on a type of the sheet medium  3100 , and becomes a value based on a result of judgment by the judgment means  3040 .  
      The line type head  3020  is, as shown in  FIG. 61 ( a ), equipped with an ion source  3021  which generates corona ions, a corona wire  3022 , control electrodes  3023 ,  3024  which control corona ions generated from the ion source  3021 , a control power source  3025 , and a bias power source  3026 .  
      The ion source  3021  generates corona ions by applying a high voltage to the corona wire  3022 .  
      The control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  are disposed with leaving a predetermined interval between them, and it is configured in such a manner that corona ions  3050  can be transmitted through (passed through) a hole  3027  which is disposed at center of these control electrodes. In addition, in such a state that the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  are disposed with leaving a predetermined interval between them, they are disposed so as to be movable in an up/down (vertical) direction. A plurality of he suchlike control electrodes  3023 ,  3024  are disposed, for example, at predetermined intervals, so that the line type head  3020  is configured.  
      The control power source  3025  is configured in such a manner that, by changing over a switch  3025   a  to a contact  3025   b , a minus (−) of a direct-current power source is set up to the control electrode  3023 , whereas a plus (+) of the direct-current power source is set up to the control electrode  3025 , and by changing over the switch  3025   a  to a contact  3025   c , the plus (+) of the direct-current power source is set up to the control electrode  3023 , whereas the minus (−) of the direct-current power source is set up to the control electrode  3024 .  
      The bias power source  3026  is one which applies a bias voltage of a minus (−) to the control electrode  24 . The reference electrode  3030  is grounded, and set up to an electric potential of 0 V.  
      Next, a control system of the writing apparatus will be described with reference to  FIG. 46 .  
      In  FIG. 46 , the control power source  3025  is configured in such a manner that it controls so as to change over the switch  3025   a  to the contact  3025   b  or the contact  3025   c , as described above.  
      Moving means  3060  controls so as to move the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  in an up/down (vertical) direction, in such a state that they are disposed with leaving a predetermined interval between them. Conveying means  3070  is a thing which conveys the sheet medium  3100 , which is inserted into the writing apparatus  3010 , in a direction of an arrow A in  FIG. 60 , and is configured in such a manner that it is possible to change conveying speed to the sheet medium  3100 .  
      Control means  3080  is equipped with a storage section  3081  which stores controls with respect to each type information of the sheet medium  3100 , for example in a table form, and controls the control power source  3025 , the moving means  3060  and the conveying means  3070 .  
      In the meantime, in this embodiment 44, as to a type of the sheet medium  3100  which can be used for the writing apparatus  3010 , there are types which depend on a difference of display methods, a difference of manufacturers, and a difference of versions. For example, in case that there exist the sheet medium  3100  with a fist display method relating to a first manufacturer, an improved version of the sheet medium  3100  with the first display method relating to the first manufacturer, the sheet medium  3100  with a second display method relating to the first manufacturer, the sheet medium  3100  with the first display method relating to a second manufacturer, and the sheet medium  3100  with a second display method relating to the second manufacturer, types of the sheet medium  3100  are to be 5 types.  
      In this case, as type information of the sheet medium  3100  which is stored in the storage section  3081 , it is information which shows the first display method relating to the first manufacturer, information which shows the improved version of the first display method relating to the first manufacturer, information which shows the second display method relating to the first manufacturer, and information which shows the second display method relating to the second manufacturer.  
      On one hand, as control information which is stored in the storage section  3081 , any one information is set up, among ion irradiation time information, writing speed information and erasing speed information, and distance information between the sheet medium  3100  and the control electrode, which will be described later. As a matter of course, it is also possible to set up these all information, and in this case, only information, which depends on a mode specified in advance, is to be applied.  
      In addition, a stored content of the storage section  3081  is, in case that the sheet medium  3100  of a new type is provided, updated on the basis of information relating to a type of that sheet medium  3100 . In sum, type information and control information of that sheet medium  3100  are registered in the storage section in an associated manner. Registration of the suchlike information can be realized by operating a terminal device as a writing information source, which is connected to the writing apparatus  3010 .  
      According to the control system of the writing apparatus  3010  as described above, the judgment means  3040  judges a type of the sheet medium  3100 , and notifies a result of this judgment to the control means  3080 . The control means  3080  controls any one of the control power source  3025 , the moving means  3060 , and the conveying means  3070 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3080 .  
      Next, a basis writing operation of the writing apparatus  3010  will be described with reference to  FIG. 45 .  
      When the control power source  3025  changes over the switch  3025   a  to the contact  3025   b , as shown in  FIG. 45 ( a ) and sets up so as to apply a minus (−) to the control electrode  3023  and a plus (+) to the control electrode  3024 , an electric field direction between the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  becomes a direction from the control electrode  3024  to the control electrode  3023 , and therefore, corona ions (in this case, negative corona ions)  3050  are transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027 .  
      Then, since a bias voltage of a minus (−) is applied to the control electrode  3024  by the bias power source  3026 , corona ions  3050 , which are transmitted through the hole  3027 , are accelerated, and reach to a surface of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In contrast to this, when the control power source  3025  changes over the switch  3025   a  to the contact  3025   c  as shown in  FIG. 61 ( b ) and sets up so as to apply the plus (+) to the control electrode  3023  and the minus (−) to the control electrode  3024 , an electric field direction between the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  becomes a direction from the control electrode  3023  to the control electrode  3024 , and therefore, corona ions (in this case, negative corona ions)  3050  can not be transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027 .  
      On the basis of a principle as described above, an electrostatic image due to corona ions depending on information is formed on the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, an electric field in a direction shown by an arrow B in  FIG. 61 ( a ) is to act on this electrostatic image and the reference electrode  3030 , and by this means, it is possible to write desired information on the sheet medium  3100 . By conveying the sheet medium  3100  in a direction of the arrow A in  FIG. 60  through the use of the conveying means  3070 , it is possible to carry out writing of desired information as to one sheet medium.  
      In case of erasing information which is written on the sheet medium  3100  in this manner, an electric potential with polarity, which is opposite to that in case of a writing operation, is applied to the corona wire  3022  and the control power source  3025  changes over the switch  3025   a  to a predetermined contact, to realize such a state that corona ions (in this case, positive corona ions), which are generated from the corona wire  3022 , can be passed through the hole  3027  which is disposed at center of the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024 .  
      By this means, since corona ions with polarity opposite to that at the time of writing (in this case positive corona ions) are attached to a surface of the sheet medium  3100 , information is erased. By conveying the sheet medium  3100  in a direction of the arrow A in  FIG. 60  through the use of the conveying means  3070 , it is possible to carry out erasing of desired information, as to one sheet medium.  
      Next, writing and erasing operations of information to the sheet medium  3100  of a different type through the use of the writing apparatus will be described with reference to  FIG. 63  and  FIG. 64 .  
       FIG. 63  shows ion irradiation time (which is comparable to time for having ions passed through between the control electrodes) to time per one line to each sheet medium  3100 . Here, the time per one line is time which is decided on the basis of writing speed and writing resolution of the sheet medium  3100 , and the ion irradiation time is comparable to time for having ions passed through.  
      Meanwhile, in  FIG. 63 , ( a ) shows ion irradiation time to an electrophoretic sheet using micro capsules which is made by A company (hereinafter, referred to as “electrophoretic sheet”.), and ( b ) shows ion irradiation time to an improved version of the electrophoretic sheet made by A company (hereinafter, referred to as “electrophoretic sheet (improved version).)”, and ( c ) shows ion irradiation time to a twist ball type sheet made by B company (hereinafter, referred to as “twist ball type sheet”.).  
       FIG. 64  shows an appearance of an electrostatic image which is formed on each sheet medium  3100  when ions are irradiated to the each sheet medium  3100  for only ion irradiation time shown in  FIG. 63 .  
      Meanwhile, in  FIG. 64  ( a ) shows an electrostatic image which is formed on the electrophoretic sheet, and ( b ) shows an electrostatic image which is formed on the electrophoretic sheet (improved version), and ( c ) shows an electrostatic image which is formed on the twist ball type sheet.  
      Here, in this embodiment 44, it is assumed that, as the sheet medium  3100 , there are the electrophoretic sheet (made by A company), the improved version of the electrophoretic sheet (made by A company), and the twist ball type sheet (made by B company).  
      In addition, it is assumed that, the storage section  3081  stores type information of the sheet medium  3100  and ion irradiation time information in an associated manner. That is, it is assumed that the storage section  3081  stores information showing an electrophoresis method made by A company and ion irradiation time information Time Ta in an associated manner, and in addition, stores information showing an improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company and ion irradiation time information Tb in an associated manner, and further, stores information showing a twist ball type method made by B company and ion irradiation time information Tc in an associated manner.  
      Next, an operation of the writing apparatus  3010  in case of carrying out writing to an electrophoretic sheet as the sheet medium  3100  will be described.  
      In the writing apparatus  3010 , the judgment means  3040  judges a type of the sheet medium  3100  which is inserted, on the basis of a writing instruction to the inserted sheet medium (electrophoretic sheet)  3100 , and notifies this judged result to the control means  3080 .  
      Meanwhile, with regard to judgment of a type of the sheet medium  3100 , it is all right to use a setting from a terminal (not shown in the figure) which is an information source of writing information, and in addition, it is also all right to use a setting from a menu (not shown in the figure) by operating an operation panel (not shown in the figure) which is provided on the writing apparatus  3010 , and further, it is also all right to use automatic judgment by use of various sensors.  
      The control means  3080  controls the control power source  3025 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, a notification content from the judgment means  3040  is such a judgment result that a type of the sheet medium  3100  is “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company”, and therefore, the control means  3080  searches and obtains from the storage section  3081 , control information which corresponds to “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of this sheet medium  3100 . In this example, the ion irradiation time information TA, which corresponds to the “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , is to be obtained.  
      The control means  3080  instructs the control power source  3025  in such a manner that ion irradiation time becomes “Ta” among time per one line, on the basis of “ion irradiation time information Ta” as control information which is obtained from the storage section  3081 .  
      Then, the control power source  3025  changes over the switch  3025   a  to the contact  3025   b  (see,  FIG. 61 ( a )), and at such a time point that the ion irradiation time Ta passed over from this changeover time point, changes over the switch  3025   a  to the contact  3025   c  (see,  FIG. 45 ( b )), and thereby, sets up in such a manner that a transmission state of corona ions (see,  FIG. 47 ( a )) is realized during only a period of the ion irradiation time Ta, among time per one line.  
      In consequence, as shown in  FIG. 48 ( a ), an electrostatic image  3110  is formed on a surface of an electrophretic sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 1 , between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 . On this account, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3110  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In addition, in case of carrying out writing to the above-described electrophoretic sheet (improved version) and the twist ball type sheet, in the same manner as in the case of the above-described electrophoretic sheet, the control means  3080  controls the control power source  3025 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, with regard to the electrophoretic sheet (improved version), the control power source  3025  sets up in such a manner that a transmission state of corona ions (see,  FIG. 63 ( b )) is realized during only a period of the ion irradiation time Tb, among time per one line, on the basis of ion irradiation time information Tb which corresponds to “information which shows the improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , in accordance with control of the control means  3080 .  
      In consequence, as shown in  FIG. 64 ( b ), an electrostatic image  3120  is formed on a surface of an electrophretic sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 2  between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3120  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      On one hand, with regard to the twist ball type sheet, the control power source  3025  sets up in such a manner that a transmission state of corona ions (see,  FIG. 63 ( c )) is realized during only a period of the ion irradiation time Tc, among time per one line, on the basis of ion irradiation time information Tc which corresponds to “information which shows the twist ball type method made by B company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , in accordance with control of the control means  3080 .  
      In consequence, as shown in  FIG. 64 ( c ), an electrostatic image  3130  is formed on a surface of the twist ball type sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 3  between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3130  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In case of erasing information which is written on respective sheet media  3100 , an electric potential with polarity, which is opposite to that in case of a writing operation, is applied to the corona wire  3022 , and the control power source  3025 , which is controlled by the control means  3080  on the basis of a result of judgment by the judgment means  3040 , sets up so as to realize such a state that corona ions (in this case, positive corona ions) can be transmitted through (passed through) during only a period of ion irradiation time which depends on a type of each sheet medium  3100 .  
      By this means, since corona ions with polarity (in this case positive) opposite to that at the time of writing are attached to a surface of the sheet medium  3100 , information, which is written on the sheet medium  3100 , is erased. As a matter of course, in the suchlike operation of erasing information, by conveying the sheet medium  3100  in a direction of the arrow A in  FIG. 60  through the use of the conveying means  3070 , it is possible to erase all information as to one sheet medium.  
      Meanwhile, this embodiment 44 showed, as the line type head  3020  of the writing apparatus  3010 , a non-contact method one which carries out writing and erasing in a state of non-contact with the sheet medium  3100 , but the invention is not limited to this, and it is all right to carry out writing and erasing by a contact method as shown in  FIG. 65 .  
      The writing apparatus  3010  shown in  FIG. 65  is of such a configuration that the judgment means  3040  is added, in the configuration of the conventional apparatus shown in  FIG. 74 . In  FIG. 65 , it is configured in such a manner that the sheet medium  3100  comes in contact with writing drums  3006 ,  3007  and erasing drums  3002 ,  3004 , and is conveyed in a direction of the arrow A in  FIG. 49 .  
      In the suchlike writing apparatus  3010 , the line type head  3020  controls application time for applying a voltage to each pixel electrode of the circuit substrate  3007  on the writing drum  3006  and each pixel electrode of the circuit substrate  3003  on the erasing drum  3002 , on the basis of a result of judgment by the judgment means  3040 . By this means, writing or erasing of desired information is carried out. In this regard, however, from the viewpoint of life of the sheet medium  3100 , a non-contact method is more desirable than a contact method.  
      In addition, this embodiment 44 showed, as the line type head  3020  which carries out writing of information by a non-contact method, one with a method of uniformly generating corona ions and selecting ions by use of the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024 , but the invention is not limited to this, and it is also all right to use a method of selectively generating ions by heating a metal electrode to which a high voltage is applied.  
      Further, this embodiment 44 showed, in case of erasing information written on the sheet medium  3100 , one with a method of adding an electric potential with polarity opposite to that in case of a writing operation to the corona wire  3022  to realize such a state that corona ions can be passed through and of scanning, but the invention is not limited to this, and it is also all right to use a method in which a line type head for writing and a line type head for erasing are provided respectively and by use of these line type heads, erasing or writing is carried out as a series of operations. In this case, the line type head for erasing may use any method of a simple electrode or a device which generates corona ions.  
      Further, in this embodiment 44, as the sheet medium  3100 , it is possible to use the sheet medium  3100  having memory ability of various electric field driving methods, such as an electrophoretic sheet using micro capsules, a sheet of a twist ball method which is reported by Zerox Corporation as Gyricon™, and a liquid crystal having memory ability.  
      In the meantime, a solution for reducing an environmental load by cutting down printing to papers is essential to human beings from now. On that account, by writing or erasing information on the sheet medium  3100 , an optical characteristic of which is changed reversibly by an operation of an electric field through the use of the writing apparatus of the embodiment 44, it is possible to reutilize the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, from the viewpoint of reducing an environmental load, it can be said that the writing apparatus of the embodiment  3001  is an extremely useful apparatus which can reduce an environmental load.  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 44, it is configured to be equipped with the judgment means which judges a type of the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, even in case that the sheet medium  3100  with a different type is used, it is possible to secure optimum writing quality. On that account, if a user possesses a writing apparatus which relates to the invention, even in case that inexpensive and high quality sheet media  3100  were improved one after another, it becomes possible to apply a writing operation which is suitable for that sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, it is possible to dramatically improve convenience of a user.  
      For example, since it is possible to secure optimum writing quality even if a different type sheet medium  3100  is used, it is possible to use, as the sheet medium, the sheet medium  3100  having memory ability of various electric field driving methods, such as an electrophoretic sheet using micro capsules, a sheet of a twist ball method which is reported by Zerox Corporation as Gyricon™, and a liquid crystal having memory ability, and therefore, it is possible to dramatically improve convenience of a user.  
      In addition, according to the embodiment 44, since writing and erasing are carried out in such a state that the line type head  3020  and various sheet media  3100  are not in contact with each other, there is also such an advantage that there is no damage to the sheet medium  3100  and it is possible to realize a longer operating life of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      Further, according to the embodiment 44, by writing information on or erasing information from the sheet medium  3100  an optical characteristic of which is changed reversibly by an operation of an electric field, it is possible to reutilize the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, there is such an advantage that it is possible to provide an extremely useful writing apparatus which can reduce an environmental load.  
      Further, according to this embodiment 44, to provide a writing apparatus which can be compatible with various sheet media  3100  means that this writing apparatus (system) becomes a platform and it enables for a manufacturing company of the sheet media  100  to tackle the development of unique and improved sheet media  3100  one after another and by this means, price-reduction of the sheet media  3100  is advanced and promulgation of the writing apparatuses is accelerated. In consequence, it becomes possible to dramatically reduce an environmental load on a scale of Japan or on a scale of world.  
      In contrast to this, in an apparatus which is compatible with only a specific type sheet medium  3100  as in the above-described conventional apparatus, promulgation of that apparatus is not accelerated, and as a result, it is not possible to expect reduction of an environmental load.  
     Embodiment 45  
       FIG. 66  is a view which explains pixel irradiation time in a writing apparatus in an embodiment 45 of the invention, and  FIG. 67  is a view which shows an appearance of elestrostatic latent images which are formed on various sheet media in case that writing speed of writing to various sheet media in the embodiment 45.  
      The writing apparatus of this embodiment 45 is the same in its basic configuration and functions as those of the writing apparatus of the above-described embodiment 45 (see,  FIG. 60  through  FIG. 62 ), but is different in its condition of writing or erasing to the sheet medium  3100 . Next, its different point will be described.  
      Also in this embodiment 45, as the sheet medium  3100 , in the same manner as in the case of the embodiment  3001 , it is assumed that 3003 types of the electrophoretic sheet, the electrophoretic sheet (improved version) and the twist ball type sheet are used.  
      In addition, it is assumed that the storage section  3081  stores type information of the sheet medium  3100  and speed information in an associated matter. That is, it is assumed that information showing the electrophoresis method made by A company and speed information V 1  are stored in an associated manner, and in addition, information showing the improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company and speed information V 2  are stored in an associated manner, and further, information showing the twist ball type method made by B company and speed information V 3  are stored in an associated manner. Here, the speed information is writing speed information and erasing speed information.  
      Next, an operation of the writing apparatus  3010  in case of carrying out writing to the electrophoretic sheet as the sheet medium will be described.  
      In the writing apparatus  3010 , the judgment means  3040  judges a type of the sheet medium  3100  which is inserted, on the basis of a writing instruction to the inserted sheet medium (electrophoretic sheet)  3100 , and notifies this judged result to the control means  3080 .  
      The control means  3080  controls the conveying means  3070 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, a notification content from the judgment means  3040  is such a judgment result that a type of the sheet medium  3100  is “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company”, and therefore, the control means  3080  searches and obtains from the storage section  3081 , control information which corresponds to “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of this sheet medium  3100 . In this example, as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , the speed information V 1 , which corresponds to the “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , is to be obtained.  
      The control means  3080  instructs the conveying means  3070  in such a manner that writing speed becomes “v 1 ”, on the basis of the “speed information v 1 ” as control information which is obtained from the storage section  3081 .  
      Then, the conveying means  3070  conveys the sheet medium  3100  at speed v 1  in a direction of the arrow A in  FIG. 60  in accordance with control of the control means  3080 , and at the same time, in the line type head  3020 , it is set up in such a state that negative corona ions, which were generated, is transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027  which is disposed in the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024  during only a period of pixel irradiation time Td shown in  FIG. 66 . In sum, the control power source  3025  sets up in such a manner that the switch  3025   a  is connected to the contact  3025   b  during only a period of the pixel irradiation time Td.  
      In consequence, as shown in  FIG. 67 ( a ), an electrostatic image  3110  is formed on a surface of an electrophretic sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 1 , between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 . On this account, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3110  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In addition, in case of carrying out writing to the above-described electrophoretic sheet (improved version) and the twist ball type sheet, in the same manner as in the case of the above-described electrophoretic sheet, the control means  3080  controls the conveying means  3070 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, with regard to the electrophoretic sheet (improved version), the conveying means  3070  conveys the electrophhoretic sheet (improved version) at writing speed (conveying speed) based upon the speed information v 2  which corresponds to “information which shows the improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      On one hand, with regard to the twist ball type sheet, the conveying means  3070  conveys the twist ball type sheet at writing speed (conveying speed) based on the speed information v 3  which corresponds to the “information which shows the twist ball type method made by B company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      With regard to the sheet medium  3100  which is conveyed at writing speed which corresponds to a type of each sheet medium  3100  in this manner, the line type head  3020  is set up in such a manner that negative corona ions, which were generated, are transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027  which is disposed in the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024 .  
      In consequence, with regard to the electrophoretic sheet (improved version), as shown in  FIG. 51 ( b ), an electrostatic image  3120  is formed on a surface of the electrophretic sheet (improved version) as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 2  between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3120  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      On one hand, with regard to the twist ball type sheet, as shown in  FIG. 67 ( c ), an electrostatic image  3130  is formed on a surface of the twist ball type sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference of ΔV 3  between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 , and therefore, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3130  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      As described above, even if pixel irradiation time is Td and constant, writing speed to respective sheet media  3100  differs, and therefore, the number of lines to be written on the sheet medium  3100  differs.  
      That is, in case of the electrophoretic sheet using micro capsules which is made by A company, information, which is comparable to 1 line (see,  FIG. 67 ( a )), is written, and in case of the electrophoretic sheet improved version made by A company, information, which is comparable to 2 lines (see,  FIG. 67 ( b ), is written, and in case of the twist ball type sheet made by B company (see,  FIG. 67 ( c )), information, which is comparable to 4 lines, is written, respectively.  
      Next, in case of erasing information which is written on the respective sheet media  3100 , an electric potential with polarity, which is opposite to that in case of a writing operation, is applied to the corona wire  3022 , and the conveying means  3070 , which is controlled by the control means  3080  on the basis of a result of judgment by the judgment means  3040 , conveys the sheet medium  3100  at specified erasing speed (any of v 1 , v 2 , v 3 ).  
      In addition, the line type head  3020  is set up in such a state that corona ions (in this case, positive corona ions) can be transmitted through (passed through) during only a period of the pixel irradiation time Td. As a result, it becomes possible to erase all information as to one sheet.  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 45, it is possible to expect the same operation and advantages as those in case of the above-described embodiment 44.  
      In addition, according to the embodiment 45, in case that the sheet medium  3100  is improved so as to react with small electric field strength, as compared with such a case that the non-improved sheet medium  3100  is used, it is possible to increase writing speed, and therefore, it means that writing time per one sheet medium is shortened for a user, and convenience is improved much more.  
     Embodiment 46  
       FIG. 68  is a view which shows an appearance of electrostatic images which are formed on various sheet media in case that a distance between a control electrode in a writing apparatus of an embodiment 46 of the invention and a sheet medium  3100  is changed.  
      The writing apparatus of this embodiment 46 is the same in its basic configuration and functions as those of the writing apparatus of the above-described embodiment 44 (see,  FIG. 60  through  FIG. 62 ), but is different in its condition of writing or erasing to the sheet medium  3100 . Next, its different point will be described.  
      Also in this embodiment 46, as the sheet medium  3100 , in the same manner as in the case of the embodiment 44, it is assumed that 3 types of the electrophoretic sheet, the electrophoretic sheet (improved version) and the twist ball type sheet are used.  
      In addition, it is assumed that the storage section  3081  stores type information of the sheet medium  3100  and speed information in an associated matter. That is, it is assumed that information showing the electrophoresis method made by A company and distance information L 1  are stored in an associated manner, and in addition, information showing the improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company and distance information L 2  are stored in an associated manner, and further, information showing the twist ball type method made by B company and distance information L 3  are stored in an associated manner.  
      Here, the distance information is information which shows a distance between 2 surfaces which are opposite to each other on the reference electrode  3030  and the control electrode  3024 .  
      Next, an operation of the writing apparatus  3010  in case of carrying out writing to the electrophoretic sheet as the sheet medium will be described.  
      In the writing apparatus  3010 , the judgment means  3040  judges a type of the sheet medium  3100  which is inserted, on the basis of a writing instruction to the inserted sheet medium (electrophoretic sheet)  3100 , and notifies this judged result to the control means  3080 .  
      The control means  3080  controls the moving means  3060 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, a notification content from the judgment means  3040  is such a judgment result that a type of the sheet medium  3100  is “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company”, and therefore, the control means  3080  searches and obtains from the storage section  3081 , control information which corresponds to “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of this sheet medium  3100 . In this example, as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , the distance information L 1 , which corresponds to the “information which shows the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , is to be obtained.  
      The control means  3080  instructs the moving means  3070  in such a manner that a distance between 2 surfaces which are opposite to each other on the reference electrode  3030  and the control electrode  3024  becomes “L 1 ”, on the basis of the “distance information L 1 ” as control information which is obtained from the storage section  3081 .  
      Then, the moving means  3060  moves the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  in an up/down (vertical) direction, in such a manner that a distance between 2 surfaces which are opposite to each other on the reference electrode  3030  and the control electrode  3024  becomes “L 1 ”, in accordance with control of the control means  3080 .  
      At the same time as this, in the line type head  3020 , it is set up in such a state (transmission state) that negative corona ions, which were generated, is transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027  which is disposed in the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024  during only a period of the pixel irradiation time Td, in the same manner as the above-described case of the embodiment 45.  
      In consequence, in the same manner as the above-described case of the embodiment 44 or the embodiment 45, an electrostatic image is formed on a surface of an electrophretic sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs a predetermined electric potential difference, between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 . On this account, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image  3110  on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In addition, in case of carrying out writing to the above-described electrophoretic sheet (improved version) and the twist ball type sheet, in the same manner as in the above-described case of the electrophoretic sheet, the control means  3080  controls the moving means  3060 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040  and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      That is, in case of the electrophoretic sheet (improved version), the moving means  3060  moves the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  in an up/down (vertical) direction, in such a manner that a distance between a surface of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface of the control electrode  3024  on the side of the reference electrode  3030  becomes “L 2 ” (see,  FIG. 52 ( b )), on the basis of the distance information L 2  which corresponds to “information which shows the improved version of the electrophoresis method made by A company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      On one hand, in case of the twist ball type sheet, the moving means  3060  moves the control electrode  3023  and the control electrode  3024  in an up/down (vertical) direction, in such a manner that a distance between a surface of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface of the control electrode  3024  on the side of the reference electrode  3030  becomes “L 2 ” (see,  FIG. 52 ( c )), on the basis of the distance information L 3  which corresponds to “information which shows the twist ball type method made by B company” as type information of the sheet medium  3100 , in accordance with control of the control means  3080 .  
      At the same time as the suchlike movement of the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024 , the line type head  3020  sets up in such a state (transmission state) that negative corona ions, which were generated, are transmitted through (passed through) the hole  3027  which is disposed in the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024 , during only a period of the pixel irradiation time Td, in the same manner as in the above-described case of the embodiment 45.  
      In consequence, in the same manner as the above-described case of the embodiment 44 or the embodiment 45, an electrostatic image is formed on a surface of the electrophretic sheet (improved version) or a surface of the twist ball type sheet as the sheet medium  3100 , and there occurs an electric potential difference between an electric potential of the reference electrode  3030  and a surface electric potential of the sheet medium  3100 . On this account, desired information is written in a position (region) which corresponds to the electrostatic image on the sheet medium  3100 .  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 46, it is possible to expect the same operation and advantage as those in the above-described case of the embodiment 44.  
      In addition, according to the embodiment 46, in case that the sheet medium  3100  is improved thinner so as to react with small electric field strength, the sheet medium  3100  becomes light so that handling ability is improved and furthermore, since acceleration of corona ions by the bias power source  3026  is strengthened, a passing amount of ions, which pass through the hole  3027  disposed at center of the control electrodes  3023 ,  3024  (ion passing amount) increases, even in case of the same ion irradiation time, and on this account, in the same manner as speed v 4 , v 5 , v 6  shown in  FIG. 68 , as compared to such a case that the non-improved sheet medium  3100  is used, it is possible to increase writing speed, and therefore, it means that writing time per one sheet medium is shortened for a user, and convenience is improved much more.  
     Embodiment 47  
       FIG. 69  is a perspective view which shows a configuration of a writing apparatus in an embodiment 47 of the invention, and  FIG. 11  is a view which shows a control system of the writing apparatus shown in  FIG. 69 .  
      This writing apparatus  3010  of the embodiment 63 is of such a configuration that detection means  3200  is added in the configuration of the writing apparatus  3010  of the embodiment 44 shown in  FIG. 60 . Meanwhile, in  FIG. 69 , identical reference numerals and signs are given to portions which perform the same functions as those of constituent elements shown in  FIG. 60 .  
      The detection means detects an optical characteristic of the sheet medium  3100  which is inserted into the writing apparatus  3010 , and notifies this detection result to the judgment means  3040 . The detection means  3200  detects, for example, reflectivity of the sheet medium  3100 . In case of detecting reflectivity, the detection means  3200  is composed of a sensor which has a light emission section and a light reception section.  
      In this embodiment 47, the storage section in the control means  3080  stores information showing reflectivity, type information of the sheet medium  3100 , and control information in a corresponding manner. Therefore, if it is possible to know reflectivity of the sheet medium  3100 , it is possible to know a type of the sheet medium  3100 .  
      In the writing apparatus  3010  which is configured in this manner, when the sheet medium  3100  of a predetermined type is inserted into the writing apparatus  3010 , the detection means  3200  detects (measures) reflectivity of this sheet medium  3100 , and as shown in  FIG. 54 , sends out this detected result to the judgment means  3040 .  
      The judgment means notifies the detection result from the detection means, to the control means  3080 , as a judgment result after a type of the sheet medium  3100  is judged. The control means  3080  obtains at least control information which corresponds to information showing this reflectively, from the storage section  3081 , on the basis of the judgment result (information which shows reflectivity) from the judgment means  3040 , and on the basis of this obtained control information, controls of any of the control power source  3025 , the moving means  3060 , and the conveying means  3070 .  
      Since operations after this are the same as those in the above-described cases of the embodiments 44 through 46, their explanations will be omitted here.  
      Meanwhile, in the embodiment 47, even in case that a characteristic of the sheet medium  3100  is changed by an external environment such as temperature and humidity, writing is applied to a predetermined partial region of the sheet medium  3100  and the detection means  3200  detects (measures) reflectivity as a result of that writing, and further, feedback is given on the basis of this detection result, and thereby, it is possible to generate an electrostatic image which generates an optimum electric field.  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 47, since it is configured to be equipped with the judgment means  3040  which judges a type of the sheet medium  3100  and the detection means  3200  which detects an optical characteristic of the sheet medium  3100 , it is possible to automatically secure optimum writing quality even by use of a different type sheet medium  3100 , and further, it is possible to secure writing quality in every environments, and therefore, convenience of a user is dramatically improved.  
     Embodiment 48  
       FIG. 71  is a perspective view which shows a configuration of a writing system in an embodiment 48 of the invention, and  FIG. 72  is a view which shows a configuration of a sheet medium in the writing system shown in  FIG. 71 , and  FIG. 73  is a view which shows a control system of the writing system shown in  FIG. 71 .  
      In  FIG. 71 , a writing system (processing system) is equipped with a writing apparatus (processing apparatus)  3010  and a sheet medium  3300 . Meanwhile, in  FIG. 71 , identical reference numerals and signs are given to portions which perform the same functions as those of constituent elements shown in  FIG. 60 .  
      The writing apparatus  3010  shown in  FIG. 71  is of such a configuration that wireless tag communication means  3400  is added, in the configuration of the writing apparatus  3010  of the embodiment 44 shown in  FIG. 60 .  
      The sheet medium  3300  is, as shown in  FIG. 56 , equipped with a wireless tag  3310 , and this wireless tag (first communication means)  3310  is equipped with a memory  3311  which stores information which is specific to a sheet medium, a transmitting/receiving circuit  3312  which carries out transmission/reception of signals, a control circuit  3313  which accesses to the memory  3311 , and an antenna section  3314  for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from wireless tag communication means (second communication means)  3400  which is disposed in the writing apparatus  3010 .  
      Next, an operation of the writing system which is configured in this manner will be described with reference to  FIG. 72  and  FIG. 73 .  
      Here, it is assumed that sheet medium specific information, which is stored in the memory  3311 , is, for example, type information of a sheet medium which is stored in the storage section  3081  in the control means  3080  shown in  FIG. 62 .  
      Now, when the predetermined type sheet medium  3300  is inserted into the writing apparatus  3010 , the wireless tag communication means, which is disposed in the writing apparatus  3010 , transmits electromagnetic waves with predetermined frequency.  
      The electromagnetic waves from this wireless tag communication means  3400  are received by the antenna section  3314  of the wireless tag  3310  which is disposed on the sheet medium  3300 .  
      In the wireless tag  3310 , when the transmitting/receiving circuit  3312  receives electromagnetic waves from the wireless tag communication means  3400  through the antenna section  3314  as shown in  FIG. 56 , it notifies to the control circuit  3313  that the sheet medium is inserted.  
      Then, the control circuit  3313  reads out sheet medium specific information which is stored in the memory  3311 , and requests the transmitting/receiving circuit  3312  to transmit this readout information toward the writing apparatus  3010 .  
      The sheet medium specific information, which is read out by the control circuit  3134  in this manner, is transmitted to the wireless tag communication means  3400  of the writing apparatus  3010 , through the transmitting/receiving circuit  3312  and the antenna section  3314 .  
      In the writing apparatus  3010 , the wireless tag communication means  3400  sends out the sheet medium specific information from the wireless tag  3310  of the sheet medium  3300 , to the judgment means  3040 . This judgment means  3040  notifies the received sheet medium specific information to the control means  3080  as a result of judging a type of a sheet medium.  
      The control means  3080  controls, as shown in  FIG. 63 , any of the control power source  3025 , the moving means  3060 , and the conveying means  3070 , on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040 , i.e., the sheet medium specific information, and a stored content of the storage section  3081 .  
      Since operations after this are the same as those in the above-described cases of the embodiments 44 through 46, their explanations will be omitted here.  
      Meanwhile, sheet medium specific information may be used as control information which is stored in the storage section  3081  in the control means  3080  shown in  FIG. 62 . In this case, there is no need for the control means  3080  to be equipped with the storage section  3081 , and it is all right if any of the control power source  3025 , the moving means  3060 , and the conveying means  3070  is controlled on the basis of a judgment result from the judgment means  3040 , i.e., control information.  
      At this time, in case that two or more information among ion irradiation time information, speed information and distance information are included as control information, it is configured so as to adopt control information which corresponds to a mode specified in advance.  
      As described above, in the writing apparatus  3010 , since the judgment means  3040  can obtain sheet medium specific information, which is stored in the memory  3311  of the wireless tag  3310  which corresponds to various sheet media, through the wireless tag communication means  3400 , it becomes possible for the line type head  3020  to generate an optimum electrostatic image on the basis of this sheet medium specific information, and thus, it is possible to secure writing quality.  
      Meanwhile, in the embodiment 48, it is desirable that the wireless tag  3310  is operated on the basis of an induced voltage which is generated at the antenna section  3314 , in an electromagnetic field (alternating-current magnetic field) with predetermined frequency which is radiated from the wireless tag communication means  3400 .  
      As this reason, it is that, since a power source such as a battery for use in the wireless tag  3310  is not necessary, restriction of life of the wireless tag  3310  is substantially eliminated so that it is possible to realize reduction in size and weight of the wireless tag  3310  itself, and further, a battery replacing work becomes unnecessary so that it is possible to realize maintenance-free. Further, since the wireless tag itself is provided at a low price, it is possible to realize a sheet medium at a much lower price, since a power source such as a battery is not necessary.  
      As described above, according to the embodiment 48, the wireless tag communication means  3400 , which is disposed in the writing apparatus  3010 , obtains sheet medium specific information by wireless communication with the wireless tag  3310  as tag information which is given to the sheet medium  3300 , and in the writing apparatus  3010 , since it is configured in such a manner that writing or erasing is carried out on the basis of that obtained sheet medium specific information, it is possible to automatically secure optimum writing quality even by use of a different type sheet medium, and it is possible to dramatically improve convenience of a user.  
      The invention is a processing apparatus and a processing system which realizes writing or erasing to a sheet medium which can be utilized repeatedly, unlike printing to papers, and further, it is a processing apparatus and a processing system which do not produce consumable supplies and materials, and therefore, it is useful as an image forming apparatus such as a printer, which can contribute to reduction of an environmental load.  
      Each of embodiments can be combined to each other at the same time.
