Abstract

In a multi-plane electronic whiteboard apparatus, a drawing sheet is extended on a main roller and driven rollers so as to be folded back once by means of the intermediate driven roller. The main roller has a diameter larger than (at least not less than twice) the diameter of the driven rollers to ensure a space for forming the folded portion. A portion of the drawing sheet is exposed through an opening of a frame for serving as a drawing plane. The folded portion contributes to providing a total of four drawing planes. Therefore, it is possible to provide the multi-plane electronic whiteboard apparatus with a simple structure and at a low cost.
