Abstract
A data processing device which includes a flexible position input portion for sensing proximity or a touch of an object such as a user's palm and finger. In the case where a first region of the flexible position input portion is held by a user for a certain period, supply of image signals to the first region is selectively stopped.
Claims13
A portable device comprising:
- a display panel configured to display an image over a front surface and a first side surface of the portable device;
- a sensor portion configured to sense touch of an object over the front surface and the first side surface of the portable device;
- and
- an arithmetic portion configured to determine whether touch in a region of the display panel corresponds to an intentional input of a user and selectively stop supply of an image signal to the region,
- wherein a part of the display panel is curved toward a back surface of the portable device, and
- wherein the arithmetic portion is on and in contact with the part of the display panel.
