Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure both aural and visual functions by preparing a virtual image display, a means which performs the pointing operations on the display, and a means which performs the selecting operations on the display respectively. SOLUTION: A virtual image display 14 includes a partially reflective/ transmissive optical element 24, a display 26, a rotary base 28, and a microcomputer or another built-in computer. Then a stick type pointing device 30 and a selector 32 perform the control of a cursor visible to a user on the device 14. A curved mirror 22 reflects the image received from the display 26 via the element 24 and produces a virtual image that is visible to the user while the is holding a personal communicator 10 to his ear so as to simultaneously use a handset 12 in optional selection. The position of the virtual image is adjusted when the display 14 is turned on the base 28.
