Abstract
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.
