An electronic device is disclosed. According to an embodiment, an electronic device may comprise: a transparent member; a display panel that is disposed beneath the transparent member and comprises multiple pixels and at least one transmission area which is formed between the multiple pixels and through which light can pass; a biometric sensor which is disposed beneath the display panel and can acquire light that has been output through at least some of the multiple pixels, has been reflected by an external object near or in contact with the transparent member, and then has passed through the at least one transmission area; and a light path changing member disposed between the biometric sensor and the display panel and spaced a predetermined distance apart from the biometric sensor, the light path changing member being able to change an optical path with respect to at least a part of the light having passed through the at least one transmission area. Various other embodiments found in the specification are also possible.

Electronic device comprising fingerprint sensor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a transparent member, a display positioned under a transparent member that includes a plurality of pixels, an image sensor positioned under some areas of the display, a memory, and a processor. The processor obtains a first image at least based on light output through at least some of the plurality of pixels and reflected by an external object coming into contact with the transparent member using the image sensor, performs authentication on the external object at least based on the at least one template using the first image, generates a second image of the external object at least based on the first image when quality of the first image corresponds to a given condition based on a result of the authentication, and performs authentication on the external object at least based on the at least one template using the second image.
