Abstract

An input system and an electronic apparatus with novel structures are provided. An electronic apparatus whose setting can be changed even when both hands are full is provided. An input system and an electronic apparatus including an imaging device having a function of taking an image of eyes and a detection device having a function of detecting a change of the shape of the eyes from data obtained by the imaging device are provided. Settings are changed in accordance with the change of the shape of the eyes. The settings are changed by a different method from a manual method and the change of the settings can be reflected in display.

Claims (28)

1. A head mounted display comprising:

a housing having a first surface and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface in a top view of the housing;

an imaging device configured to take an image of eyes;

a detection device configured to detect a change of the shape of the eyes based on the image obtained by the imaging device;

an arithmetic device configured to generate display data based on the change of the shape of the eyes detected by the detection device; and

a display device configured to perform display of the display data,

wherein the display device includes a region on a first surface side of the housing and on a second surface side of the housing, and

wherein a display region of the display device is enlarged when the eyes are opened widely and the display region of the display device is narrowed when the eyes are half-closed.

2. The head mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein the display device comprises a light emitting element.

3. The head mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein the display device comprises a liquid crystal element.

4. The head mounted display according to claim 1 ,

wherein the arithmetic device is on the first surface side of the housing, and

wherein the imaging device and the detection device are on the second surface side of the housing.

5. The head mounted display according to claim 1 , wherein the display device includes a curved surface.

6. A head mounted display comprising:

a housing having a first surface and a second surface provided in a direction crossing the first surface in a top view of the housing;

an imaging device configured to take an image of eyes;

a detection device configured to detect a change of the shape of the eyes based on the image obtained by the imaging device;

an arithmetic device configured to generate display data based on the change of the shape of the eyes detected by the detection device; and

a display device configured to perform display of the display data,

wherein the display device includes a region on a first surface side of the housing and on a second surface side of the housing, and

wherein a display region of the display device is enlarged when the eyes are opened widely, the display region of the display device is narrowed when the eyes are half-closed, and the display device stops performing display when the eyes are closed.

7. The head mounted display according to claim 6 , wherein the display device comprises a light emitting element.

8. The head mounted display according to claim 6 , wherein the display device comprises a liquid crystal element.

9. The head mounted display according to claim 6 ,

wherein the arithmetic device is on the first surface side of the housing, and

wherein the imaging device and the detection device are on the second surface side of the housing.

10. The head mounted display according to claim 6 , wherein the display device includes a curved surface.
