An electronic apparatus whose setting can be changed even when both hands are full is provided. An input system and an electronic apparatus including an imaging device having a function of taking an image of eyes and a detection device having a function of detecting a change of the shape of the eyes from data obtained by the imaging device are provided. Settings are changed in accordance with the change of the shape of the eyes. The settings are changed by a different method from a manual method and the change of the settings can be reflected in display. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic apparatus comprising: an imaging device configured to take an image of eyes; a detection device configured to detect a change of the shape of the eyes based on the image obtained by the imaging device; an arithmetic device configured to generate display data based on the change of the shape of the eyes detected by the detection device; and a display device configured to perform display of the display data, wherein the display device includes a curved surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the imaging device, the detection device, the arithmetic device, and the display device are in a housing, wherein the housing has a first surface and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface in a top view of the housing, and wherein the display device includes a region on a first surface side of the housing and on a second surface side of the housing. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a separator, wherein images seen by a left eye and a right eye are made different from each other by the separator. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a lighting device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic apparatus is a smartphone, and wherein the electronic apparatus is held in a head mounted display. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display device comprises a light emitting element. ### Claim 7 An electronic apparatus comprising: an imaging device configured to take an image of eyes; a detection device configured to detect a change of the shape of the eyes based on the image obtained by the imaging device; an arithmetic device configured to generate display data based on the change of the shape of the eyes detected by the detection device; a display device configured to perform display of the display data; and an acceleration sensor configured to detect an inclination of a head, wherein the display device includes a curved surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the imaging device, the detection device, the arithmetic device, and the display device are in a housing, wherein the housing has a first surface and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface in a top view of the housing, and wherein the display device includes a region on a first surface side of the housing and on a second surface side of the housing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising a separator, wherein images seen by a left eye and a right eye are made different from each other by the separator. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, further comprising a lighting device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the electronic apparatus is a smartphone, and wherein the electronic apparatus is held in a head mounted display. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The electronic apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the display device comprises a light emitting element.
