+### getDisplayInfo(json_object *object)
+
+**args: `{ }`**  
+This function gets the display information as follows:
+ - width[pixel]
+ - height[pixel]
+ - width[mm]
+ - height[mm]
+
+It outputs the display information for json_object in the argument as follows:  
+  `{"width_pixel": int value of width[pixel], "height_pixel": int value of height[pixel],
+    "width_mm": int value of width[mm], "height_mm": int value of height[mm]}`
+
+It should be called after calling init().
+It should not be called in the event handler because it occurs hang-up.
+
+#### NOTE
+It uses wl_output::geometry() for getting physical width[mm] and height[mm] of the display,
+but the value is different with measured value.

+ - value from wl_output::geometry(): width:320 height:520

+This function gets the information of area drawn by the application as follows:

+ - y-coordinate
+ - width
+ - height
+
+It outputs the area information for json_object in the 2nd argument as follows:  
+  `{"x": int value of x-coordinate, "y": int value of y-coordinate,
+    "width": int value of width, "height": int value of height}`
