1. An electronic device stand comprising:
a base positioned on a mounting surface;
a vertical portion extending in an upward direction from the base and having a variable length;
a horizontal portion rotatably connected to an upper end of the vertical portion; and
an electronic device coupling portion connected to an end of the horizontal portion,
wherein the vertical portion includes:
a fixed frame connected to the base;
a movable frame connected to the horizontal portion;
a driver for controlling a distance between the movable frame and the fixed frame;
a distance detecting sensor for sensing the distance between the movable frame and the fixed frame; and
a reflector positioned at an upper end of the fixed frame and facing the distance detecting sensor,
wherein the distance detecting sensor includes a time of flight (ToF) sensor including a light emitter for outputting an infrared signal and a light receiver for sensing the reflected and returning infrared signal, and
wherein an angle of view of the ToF sensor is larger at a close range and smaller at a long range.
