Interactive enamelled visual communication panel

Reading instrument (13) which is capable of forming an electronic representation of the information that is written on the communication panel, connected to or integrated with the writing means (14), which is for example a felt-tip pen when it is meant to be used in combination with a board that can be written on with dry-erasable felt-tip pens and that can be erased, or for example a piece of chalk when it is designed to be used in combination with a dark chalkboard or the like that can be written on with chalk, and whereby the reading instrument is provided with a light-sensitive detector (15) which is designed to detect a position-encoding pattern (6) on a communication panel (1) so as to determine the current position of the writing means (14), and the reading instrument (13) is further provided with communication means (16) that are fit to transmit information regarding the position of the writing means (14) based on the position-encoding pattern (6) as was established by the above-mentioned detector (15) to at least one external unit (17), characterised in that the reading instrument (13) is provided with a light source (18), for example a LED, to illuminate the front (3) of the communication panel (1), in particular to improve the readability of the pattern (6) that is provided on it, whereby the light-sensitive detector (15) is oriented such in relation to the above-mentioned light source (18) and is possibly positioned at a distance thereof, that it mainly registers light outside the angle of reflection (α) of the incident light beam.
