Use $event instead of event. It is little hidden in the docs http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngClick

Although this is the correct answer it should be noted that injecting DOM events to controller functions is often a bad practice as most of the time any DOM manipulation logic should be kept out of controllers and moved to directives instead.

Very close--but it's $event.

<div class="div1" ng-click="displayinfo($event)">
    sadfasf
</div>

$scope.displayinfo = function(event)
{
     alert(event);
}
