Electronic device

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display layer configured to display an image during a plurality of frame periods;
• a display driving unit configured to drive the display layer;
• a sensor layer disposed on the display layer;
• a sensor driving unit configured to drive the sensor layer in a first mode, a second mode different from the first mode, and a third mode different from the first mode and the second mode;
• and
• a main driving unit configured to control an operation of the display driving unit and an operation of the sensor driving unit,
• wherein, when a user makes a call, the sensor driving unit switches from the first mode to the second mode and drives the sensor layer,
• wherein, in the second mode, one frame period among the plurality of frame periods comprises:
• a first touch section in which a touch of the user is sensed in a mutual touch method;
• a first proximity sensing section in which a proximity state of a large-area conductor is sensed;
• and
• a second touch section in which the touch is sensed in a self-touch method,
• wherein, when the sensor layer senses an external input in the second mode, the sensor driving unit switches from the second mode to the third mode and drives the sensor layer,
• wherein, in the third mode, one frame period among the plurality of frame periods comprises:
• a second proximity sensing section different from the first proximity sensing section;
• and
• the first touch section or the second touch section, and
• wherein, when the main driving unit determines the proximity state in the third mode, the sensor driving unit switches from the third mode to the second mode and drives the sensor layer.
