Various other embodiments thereof may also be possible and at least some of which are disclosed.

Lens assembly and electronic apparatus including the same

According to various embodiments disclosed herein, a lens assembly and/or an electronic device including the same may include at least four lenses which are sequentially arranged along an optical axis from an object side to a sensor side, and a tunable lens disposed between two lenses selected from among the at least four lenses and configured such that power or curvature thereof can be changed, wherein the lens assembly may satisfy Conditional Expression 1 below:1.0=<(tun_max)/(tot_min)=<3.0  [Conditional Expression 1]

Lens assembly and electronic device including the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a plate structure, a display disposed on the plate structure and including a plurality of layers including a cover layer forming part of a surface of the housing and a panel layer including a light emitting element, and a camera module including a lens assembly including a plurality of lenses, the camera module being at least partially located in a space formed in the plate structure and coupled to the display such that an extension line of an optical axis passes through the panel layer and the cover layer. The panel layer includes a first area including a field of view of the camera module and a second area around the first area, and the number of light emitting elements per unit area of the first area is smaller than the number of light emitting elements per unit area of the second area.

Electronic device including camera module

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, and a camera module disposed in an inner space of the housing, wherein the camera module includes an image sensor and a plurality of lenses aligned with the image sensor, and wherein at least one of the plurality of lenses includes a first area formed to transfer at least a part of an external light to the image sensor and a second area including a light absorbing layer formed to absorb the at least a part of the external light and to penetrate from an outer surface of the lens into an inner space with a predetermined depth.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a display panel, and a camera device. The housing may have an inner space. The display panel may be disposed in the inner space of the housing to be visible from an outside and may include a transmission area formed as a part of an active area thereof. The camera device may be disposed under the display panel such that the transmission area of the display panel is overlapped with an angle of view of the camera device. The transmission area contains a plurality of pixels or a plurality of wirings having an arrangement density lower than in a surrounding active area when the display panel is viewed from above. The display panel may include an opaque layer disposed thereunder, having a plurality of openings, and overlapped with the transmission area when the display panel is viewed from above.
