Claim 13:
14. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a transparent cover;
a display disposed in an inner space of the housing and at least partially visible from an outside through the transparent cover, the display including:
a 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
at least one additional layer disposed on a rear surface of the display panel; and

an optical sensor module disposed in the inner space and attached to a rear surface of the additional layer, the optical sensor module including:
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 is viewed from above, and
a light receiving structure disposed on the FPCB and at least partially overlapping the display area when the display 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.
