Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor. The first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor are arranged adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction. The first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor have detection ranges that overlap at a distance from a middle point between an imaginary line connecting the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor in a perpendicular direction in relation to a front surface of the electronic apparatus.
