Abstract

A convenient electronic device or the like is provided. The power consumption of an electronic device or the like is reduced. An electronic device or the like having high visibility regardless of the brightness of external light is provided. An electronic device or the like that can display both a smooth moving image and an eye-friendly still image is provided. Such an electronic device is an electronic device including a first display portion, a second display portion, and a control portion. The control portion is configured to make the first display portion and the second display portion individually display two or more of a first image, a second image, and a third image at a time. The first image is displayed with reflected light, the second image is displayed with emitted light, and the third image is displayed with light including both reflected light and emitted light.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing comprising a first display portion;
a second housing comprising a second display portion;
a control portion; and
a viewpoint detection portion,
wherein the first display portion or the second display portion comprises a first region at which a user looks fixedly and a second region outside the first region,
wherein the control portion is configured to make the first display portion and the second display portion individually display two or more of a first image, a second image, and a third image at the same time,
wherein the first image is displayed with reflective light,
wherein the second image is displayed with emitted light,
wherein the third image is displayed with both the reflective light and the emitted light,
wherein the viewpoint detection portion is configured to detect the first region at which the user looks fixedly and output positional data of the first region to the control portion,
wherein a frame frequency of the second region is lower than a frame frequency of the first region, and
wherein the first housing and the second housing are joined together to be capable of deforming in a mode of being folded with the first display portion and the second display portion overlapping with each other and in a mode of being opened with the first display portion and the second display portion exposed.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first display portion and the second display portion comprises a transistor, and
wherein the transistor comprises a channel formation region comprising an oxide semiconductor.
