Abstract
Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device includes a planar display unit, and a touch panel which is disposed so as to overlap the display unit and is capable of detecting a vertical distance between two-dimensional coordinates along a surface of the display unit and a finger. Resolution of the two-dimensional coordinates becomes finer as the vertical distance decreases. Thus, even when the operating finger is immobilized in a state where the electronic device is fixed, a display of a pointer is not wobbled or a display of a screen is not wobbled. In addition, when a line is drawn using a drawing mode, the line is not displayed jaggedly.
