1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- a display area provided on a front surface thereof and separated from other areas of the device, and a second area provided on the front surface and outside the display area,the display area being configured to display a plurality of operation-related images arranged in sequence so as to execute a specific function by touch operation, wherein the display area is formed over a first touch detection part, wherein the first detection part comprises a two-dimensional matrix of touch detection lines,the second area providing at least one touch-sensitive function key responsive to a touch operation, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive function key is formed over a second touch detection part formed over a plurality of leads that run parallel to each other in only one direction to provide a one-dimensional output in response to a touch operation performed within the second touch detection part according to a touch position in a direction orthogonal to the plurality of leads,the display area being configured to display a first display of a first subset of the plurality of operation-related images or a second display of a second subset of the plurality of operation-related images that are not contained in the first subset, andthe first display being switchable to the second display using a scroll operation in response to an operation of the at least one touch-sensitive function key.
