An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing structure including a hinge, a first housing connected to the hinge and including a first surface and a second surface directed in the opposite direction of the first surface, and a second housing connected to the hinge and including a third surface and a fourth surface directed in the opposite direction of the third surface, and configured such that the first surface faces the third surface in a folded state and such that the first surface and the third surface are directed in the same direction in an unfolded state, a first display disposed over the first surface and the third surface, a second display exposed to the outside through at least a portion of the fourth surface, and a fingerprint recognition module including a first fingerprint contact portion formed in at least a portion of the first display corresponding to the third surface and transmitting a first light into the second housing, a second fingerprint contact portion formed in at least a portion of the second display and transmitting a second light into the second housing, a first reflective member configured to reflect the first light, a second reflective member configured to reflect the second light, and an image sensor configured to detect the first light or the second light, wherein the first reflective member is disposed to reflect the first light such that the reflected first light forms a first path from the first reflective member toward the image sensor, and wherein the second reflective member is disposed to reflect the second light such that the reflected second light forms a second path from the second reflective member toward the image sensor.

Foldable electronic device for detecting fingerprints through at least a part of display

An electronic device includes: a display, an antenna structure including at least one antenna, a conductive support disposed between the display and the antenna structure, a sensor disposed between the display and the conductive support, a first printed circuit board disposed between the conductive support and the antenna structure, a second printed circuit board stacked on the first printed circuit board, a board support coupled with the conductive support and overlapping at least part of the second printed circuit board, and a first insulating member comprising an insulating material disposed between the board support and the antenna structure.

Electronic device including sensor

Various examples of the present invention relate to a method for controlling a biosensor linked with a display, the method comprising: acquiring an input of a user on the basis of a first region corresponding to the biosensor and a second region which corresponds to a touch sensor and is adjacent to at least a part of the first region; confirming an input shape corresponding to the input of the user; and acquiring, through a control of the biosensor, bio-information corresponding to the input of the user when the confirmed input shape satisfies a predetermined condition. Other embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device and method for controlling biosensor linked with display by using same

An electronic device having one or more piezoelectric elements is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including at least one portion of a surface of the electronic device, a first piezoelectric element formed at a partial area of the housing and configured to output a signal of a designated frequency band, and a second piezoelectric element formed at another partial area of the housing and configured to receive a reflection signal in which the signal output from the first piezoelectric element is reflected by an external object that has contacted the at least one portion of the housing.

Electronic device having a plurality of piezoelectric elements

A wearable device that is mounted with a fingerprint recognition sensor is provided. The wearable device includes a housing including a first, a second face facing, and a third face facing, a support structure disposed between the first and second faces, a display disposed on the first face to be exposed, and including a window having a first flange and a second flange disposed to be opposite the first face, and a display module coupled to the window to face the second direction, the display being disposed on one face of the support structure, a printed circuit board disposed on another face of the support structure, at least one light emitter mounted adjacent to the first flange to emit light to a first region of the window, and at least one light receptor mounted adjacent to the second flange to receive light reflected from the first region.

Wearable-type electronic device mounted with fingerprint recognition sensor

An electronic device and an operating method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a first processor, a second processor, a display, and a first sensor. The first processor receives an input through the first sensor while the display is in a deactivated state, and transmits the input to the second processor, when biometric data is detected in the input, and the second processor authenticates the biometric data included in the input, and activates the display if the authentication succeeds.
