Abstract

An electronic device includes: a top panel with an operation surface; a coordinate detector that detects coordinates of operational input performed on the operation surface; a vibrating element that generates vibration on the operation surface; a drive controller that drives the vibrating element with a drive signal that generates natural vibration in an ultrasonic band on the operation surface, the drive controller driving the vibrating element so that intensity of the natural vibration changes depending on a position of the operational input on the operation surface and a degree of temporal change in the position; and a reflector disposed on the operation surface side of the top panel and having a reflective surface that reflects ultrasonic waves radiated from the top panel.
