Abstract
According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include: a display, an optical sensor disposed in a rear surface of the display and overlapping the display, the optical sensor including a light emitting unit including light emitting circuitry and a light receiving unit including light receiving circuitry, a processor operatively connected with the display and the optical sensor, and a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: obtain position information of a first area corresponding to the light emitting unit of the optical sensor in the display, and based on the light emitting unit of the optical sensor radiating light, output a visual object in the first area and/or an area adjacent to the first area on the display.
