Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and an electronic device for executing a screen security function. The electronic device includes a display unit comprising a view angle limit panel disposed on a display panel, a sensor unit including at least one sensor, and a processor. The electronic device can receive a screen security execution command, identify a direction of the electronic device using the sensor unit functionally connected to the processor, determine a view angle limit direction based on the identified direction of the electronic device using the processor, and supply an electric current to the view angle limit panel based on the determined view angle limit direction using the view angle limit panel functionally connected to the processor.
