The display system of the present invention includes: a body unit for transmitting display data that has been generated; and a display device for displaying an image in accordance with the display data that has been transmitted from the body unit. The display system is characterized in that the body unit and the display device perform communications via radio communication means, and the body unit and the display device are separately provided. Thus, the radio transmission is used as communication means, and there is no cable connecting the display device and the body unit that transfers the display data, so that the user can operate the system freely while watching the display device.
