Abstract

An electronic device includes a display receiving a user input, at least one piezoelectric element disposed adjacent to the display and vibrating based on a specified control signal, a memory storing information about the user input, and a processor electrically connected to the display, the at least one piezoelectric element, and the memory. The processor applies a control signal corresponding to the user input to the at least one piezoelectric element based on the information about the user input and allows the at least one piezoelectric element vibrating depending on the control signal to output at least one of a specified vibration or a specified sound, in a display adjacent to the at least one piezoelectric element.
