Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method for controlling an electronic device includes illuminating an object while moving a light emitting area formed by turning on light emitting elements simultaneously, capturing a shadow generated by the object by image sensing elements on a same substrate as the light emitting elements, and creating three-dimensional data about an outer shape of the object based on a shadow image.
