Portable pen computers include a large active screen area that is responsive to a pen or stylus device. Various devices are developed to position a pointer on a computer screen operate in conjunction with the application software. Light pens are commonly used as input devices for data processing and storage systems in place of conventional keyboards and mouse devices. Light pen is positioned against the display to detect changes in the light pattern of the display where the pen is positioned. The tip of the light pen receives light signals via a photo detector when placed in close proximity with the surface of the CRT monitor. Light pens interact directly with the video monitor's screen like a touchscreen, in providing the absolute positioning and pen-type input of a digitizing tablet.
