An electronic device includes a display that includes a first area having a plurality of first pixels arranged with a first density and a second area having a plurality of second pixels arranged with a second density, wherein the display includes at least one layer having an opening formed in at least part of the first area and in at least part of the second area, a first sensor configured to detect incident light through at least part of the first area, and a second sensor configured to generate image data using incident light received through the opening.

Electronic device including sensor for generating image data using incident light through opening formed in display

A portable communication device is provided. The portable communication device includes a window having a flat window area and a curved window area extending from the flat window area. In addition, the portable communication device includes a display disposed beneath the window and including a flat display area, a curved display area extending from the flat display area, and a wiring area extending from the curved display area. Additionally, the portable communication device includes a fixed part supporting at least one portion of the flat display area and at least one portion of the curved display area, and a bracket supporting at least one portion of the curved display area and at least one portion of the wiring area.

Electronic device with screen

Disclosed is a portable electronic device including a housing including a first surface and a second surface facing a direction opposite to the first surface, a display including a touchscreen panel exposed through the first surface of the housing and having a substantially rectangular shape, wherein the display has a first side and a third side extending with a first length in a first direction, and a second side and a fourth side substantially perpendicular to the first direction and extending with a second length which is less than the first length, and wherein a ratio of the first length to the second length is x:9, in which the x is equal to or greater than 16, a wireless communication circuit, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to display at least one first icon having a first size on a first region in contact with the second side or the fourth side of the display or adjacent to the second side or the fourth side while longitudinally extending, display at least one second icon having a second size on the first region, based at least partially on an event occurring inside the electronic device or an event received through the wireless communication circuit, receive a user input for selecting the at least one second icon through the first region of the display, and perform a function associated with the event, based on the received user input. Besides, various embodiments understood through the specification are possible.
