## Abstract

Provided is an electronic device whose display quality is independent of environment light. The electronic device is provided with an optical sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like so that information including the brightness of external light, the angle of external light incident on the electronic device, and the orientation of the display portion in the electronic device is obtained, and the luminance and color tone of the display portion in the electronic device are corrected on the basis of the information. As the correcting method, calculation using a neural network is performed using the luminance and color tone meeting the preference of the user as teacher data and the obtained information as input data. The calculation result is reflected on the luminance and color tone of the display portion in the electronic device, whereby an image with display quality that suits the user's preference can be displayed.
