Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device () includes a display unit (), an imaging unit (), and a control unit (). The display unit () has a first display area and a second display area having a smaller pixel area than the first display area. The imaging unit () captures an image by receiving light through the second display area. When displaying an image based on an image signal acquired by the imaging unit () on the display unit, the control unit () processes at least one of an image signal corresponding to the second display area and an image signal corresponding to a surrounding area adjacent to the second display area.
