Electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• a display element;
• a first position detection sensor of an electromagnetic induction type disposed on a back side of the display element, wherein the first position detection sensor, in operation, detects a position pointed to on a display screen of the display element;
• and
• a reinforcing plate interposed between the display element and the first position detection sensor and has a slit part corresponding to an entire surface of the display screen, the slit part having slits of a first type and of a second type, each of the first type of the slits extending in a vertical direction of the display screen and each of the second type of the slits extending in a horizontal direction of the display screen, the first and second types of the slits being provided uniformly in a manner having substantially same opening dimensions,
• wherein the display element and the first position detection sensor are bendable,
• wherein the reinforcing plate is configured to be foldable and includes a bendable part disposed in a position in which the display element and the first position detection sensor are bendable, the bendable part having bendable slits provided therein, and
• wherein a position pointed to on the bendable part is made detectable by correcting detection output from a portion of the first position detection sensor that is located under the bendable part of the reinforcing plate.
