Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a display panel disposed in an inner space of the housing to be at least partially visible from an outside through the housing, the display panel 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; and

an optical sensor module disposed in the inner space at least partially overlapping the display panel, and including:
a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB),
a light emitting structure disposed on the FPCB and 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 and at least partially overlapping the display area when the display panel is viewed from above,

wherein the display area has a first transmittance, and the first non-display area has a second transmittance greater than the first transmittance,
wherein each of the first non-display area and the second non-display area includes driving circuits and wiring structures arranged to control pixels disposed in the display area,
wherein the second transmittance is based on an arrangement density of the driving circuits and the wiring structures; and
wherein the first non-display area has a first arrangement density of the driving circuits and the wiring structures, and the second non-display area has a second arrangement density of the driving circuits and the wiring structures different from the first arrangement density.
