the electronic device includes: the device comprises a first panel, a second panel, an emitting device, a photosensitive device, a first light guide column, a first light path adjusting layer, a second light guide column and a second light path adjusting layer;
firstly, in step 501, the emitting device emits probe light, a part of the probe light is emitted from the first panel through the first light guide pillar, and a part of the probe light is emitted from the second panel through the first light guide pillar and the first light path adjusting layer;
next, in step 502, the photosensitive device receives reflected light reflected when an object approaches, where the reflected light includes reflected light entering from the first panel and passing through the first light guide pillar and reflected light entering from the second panel and passing through the second light path adjusting layer and the second light guide pillar;
next, in step 503, the electronic device detects the light quantity of the reflected light received by the photosensitive device, determines whether an object approaches according to the light quantity range in which the light quantity of the reflected light is located, and determines the first panel and/or the second panel to which the object approaches when the object approaches.
Wherein in step 503, the electronics process the received reflected light and determine that an object is proximate to the first panel in response to detecting that the amount of light of the reflected light is within a first light amount range, wherein the first light amount range is a range between a minimum value and a maximum value of the amount of light of the reflected light reflected by the object proximate to the first panel; determining that an object is close to the second panel in response to detecting that the light amount of the reflected light is in a second light amount range, wherein the second light amount range is a range between a minimum value and a maximum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the second panel; determining that an object is close to the first panel and an object is close to the second panel in response to detecting that the light amount of the reflected light is in a third light amount range between a sum of a minimum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the first panel and a minimum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the second panel, a maximum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the first panel and a maximum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the second panel; wherein a maximum value of a light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the second panel is smaller than a minimum value of a light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the first panel, and the maximum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the first panel is smaller than a sum of the minimum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the second panel and the minimum value of the light amount of the reflected light reflected by the object close to the first panel.
Referring to fig. 2, when there is no object in the first panel 100 and the second panel 200, there is almost no reflected light, and thus, the light quantity of the reflected light received by the photosensitive device 302 is almost zero, and when there is an object close to the first panel 100, the first light quantity range of the reflected light received from the first panel 100 is L11~L12(wherein, L11<L12) A second light quantity range of the reflected light received from the direction of the second panel 100 when an object approaches the second panel 200 is L21~L22(wherein, L21<L22) When an object approaches both the first panel 100 and the second panel 200, the third light amount range of the received reflected light is: (L)21+L11)~(L22+L12). The approach light device is closer to the front surface, so that the reflected light quantity of the back surface is smaller than that of the front surface, when objects approach to the two surfaces simultaneously, the light quantity is larger than that of the single surface, and the light guide rate of the first light guide column, the first light path adjusting layer, the second light guide column and the second light path adjusting layer is adjusted in advance to enable the L to be larger than that of the single surface12<L21And L is22<(L21+L11) The first light amount range, the second light amount range, and the third light amount range are not overlapped.

When the light quantity received by the photosensitive device is L, for example, when L is 300uw/cm2If the light quantity falls within the second light quantity range, it is determined that an object approaches the second panel 200; for example, when L is 900uw/cm2If the light quantity falls within the first light quantity range, it is determined that an object approaches the first panel 100; for example, when L is 1200uw/cm2And falls within the third light amount range, it is determined that an object approaches both the first panel 100 and the second panel 200.
