An electronic apparatus according to a variety of embodiments of the present invention may comprise: a display panel comprising a display which comprises one or more first pixels, one or more second pixels, and one or more first wires connected to the one or more first pixels and second pixels, and one or more fingerprint sensors which are disposed between the one or more first pixels and one or more second pixels; and a wiring layer comprising one or more second wires connected to the one or more fingerprint sensors by wiring between the layers, A variety of other embodiments are possible.

Electronic apparatus having fingerprint recognition function

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device may comprise a housing and a display received in at least a portion of the housing, wherein the display comprises: a flexible substrate; a first light-emitting unit which is disposed on a first area of the substrate, has a first attribute, and includes a plurality of first pixels; and a second light-emitting unit which is disposed on a second area of the substrate, has a second attribute different from the first attribute, and includes a plurality of second pixels. Various other embodiments are also possible.

Flexible display and electronic device including same

An apparatus and method for obtaining biometric information in an electronic device are provided. An electronic device comprising a display comprising a plurality of pixels, a biometric sensor disposed in at least a partial region of the display; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive an input for sensing biometric information of an external object, in response to the input, select at least one pixel among a first pixel and a second pixel in accordance with history information about use of the first pixel and second pixel, wherein the first pixel and the second pixel are disposed in the at least the partial region of the display proximate to the biometric sensor, and obtain the biometric information of an external object through the biometric sensor by using light irradiated by the selected at least one pixel.

Method for obtaining biometric information and electronic device thereof

According to the present disclosure, an electronic device may include a housing forming a first portion of an outer surface of the electronic device and a display received in the housing and forming a second portion of the outer surface. The display may include a biometric sensor formed between a first pixel and a second pixel and a waveguide substantially perpendicular to the biometric sensor and extending from the biometric sensor to the second portion. In an electronic device, light or ultrasonic waves may be put to use in sensing the user's biometric information (e.g., fingerprint information) using a biometric sensor positioned in a portion of the display, presenting better performance.
