Abstract
In embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing, a display panel, and an optical sensor module. The display panel is disposed in an inner space of the housing and is at least partially visible from an outside through the housing, the display including a display area, a first non-display area disposed adjacent to at least a peripheral portion of the display area, and a second non-display area disposed adjacent to at least a peripheral portion of the first non-display area. The optical sensor module is disposed in the inner space at least partially overlapping the display panel, and includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), a light emitting structure disposed on the FPCB at least partially overlapping the first non-display area when the display panel is viewed from above, and a light receiving structure disposed on the FPCB at least partially overlapping the display area when the display panel is viewed from above. The display area has a first transmittance, and the first non-display area has a second transmittance greater than the first transmittance.
