Patent 10175804 was granted and assigned to LG on January, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An electronic device has a force touch function. The electronic device includes an image display module having a touch electrode. A cover window attaches to a front surface of the image display module. A housing receives the image display module therein, and supports the cover window. A panel moving part is between the housing and the image display module. A driving circuit senses a touch force based on a distance between the image display module and the housing which are spaced from each other with the panel moving part interposed in-between.
