1. A smartphone comprising:

  • a cover layer;

    an organic light emitting display module which is located under the cover layer;

    a pressure sensor comprising a pressure electrode formed as a sheet, wherein the pressure sensor is attached under the display module;

    a shielding member for separating a circuit board or a battery from the display module, the shielding member located under the display module and spaced apart from the display module by a supporting structure located only in an edge portion of the shielding member, the edge portion not having the pressure electrode formed thereon; and

    a plurality of drive electrodes to which a driving signal is applied and a plurality of receiving electrodes outputting a sensing signal used to detect a touch position;

    wherein the shielding member is a reference potential layer;

    wherein a magnitude of a touch pressure is detected based on a capacitance which is detected from the pressure electrode and is changed according to a distance between the pressure electrode and the reference potential layer; and

    wherein the display module is bent by the touch, and wherein the capacitance detected from the pressure electrode changes as the display module bends.
