An electronic device may comprise a housing; an optical input/output device disposed inside the housing; an inner housing comprising a seating surface disposed inside the housing and including a hole to accommodate the optical input/output device, and a side wall protruding from the seating surface along the hole; a backlight module disposed on the seating surface and made of multiple layers, the backlight module comprising a first opening surrounding the side wall; a display panel disposed on the backlight module, the display panel comprising a first area corresponding to the hole area and a second area which surrounds the first area, and in which an active area is positioned; and a transparent plate disposed on the display panel. The side wall may comprise a first side surface facing the backlight module and may be black-processed.

Hole display and electronic device comprising same

An electronic device includes a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction; a transparent substrate forming at least a portion of the first surface; a display disposed between the transparent substrate and the second surface of the housing and including a third surface facing the first direction and a fourth surface facing the second direction; at least one sensor disposed between a portion of the second surface of the display and a portion of the second surface of the housing; an electrical structure disposed between the sensor and a portion of the second surface of the housing; and a control circuit electrically connected to the electrical structure, wherein the control circuit detects an electrical signal occurring by a pressure from the second direction to a portion of the transparent substrate using the electrical structure.

Disposition structure of sensor of electronic device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display including a sensor area in at least a part of the display, a sensor module disposed under the sensor area, and a processor operatively connected with the display and the sensor module. The display includes a screen area surrounding the sensor area. At least one pixel electrode included in the sensor area is disposed differently from pixel electrodes included in the screen area.

Display and electronic device including the same

An electronic device according to various examples can comprise: a window; a polarizing plate disposed at a lower part of the window and including a first region, which has a first characteristic with respect to light, and a second region, which has a second characteristic with respect to the light; a display disposed at a lower part of the polarizing plate; and at least one sensor disposed at a lower part of the display and disposed at a location corresponding to the second region. A method for operating the electronic device, according to various examples, can comprise the steps of: determining an activated state of at least one sensor; aligning, in a first direction, at least one portion of a liquid crystal formed on a window when the at least one sensor is activated; and aligning the at least one portion of the liquid crystal in a second direction when the at least one sensor is inactivated.

Electronic device for controlling display and method for operating same

An electronic device includes a housing including a 1st surface that faces in a 1st direction, and a 2nd surface that faces in a 2nd direction opposite to the 1st direction, a display disposed between the transparent plate and the 2nd surface of the housing, and including a 1st surface that faces in the 1st direction and a 2nd surface that faces in the 2nd direction, at least one sensor disposed between the 2nd surface of the display and the 2nd surface of the housing, a processor electrically coupled with the display and the at least one sensor, and a memory electrically coupled with the processor. The memory stores instructions and the processor is configured to execute the instructions to enable the display during 1st time periods, and disable at least a part of the display during at least a part of 2nd time periods, and enable the at least one sensor.
