Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: one or more first electrodes; one or more second electrodes arranged in at least a different direction from the one or more first electrodes; one or more third electrodes arranged between the one or more second electrodes, respectively, in the same direction as the second electrodes when viewed from above; and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to detect touch information related to an external object, at least on the basis of a change in a capacitance value between at least a part of the one or more first electrodes and at least a part of the one or more second electrodes, and detect hovering information related to the external object, at least on the basis of a capacitance value related to at least a part of the one or more third electrodes. Various other embodiments are possible.
