1. A portable communication device comprising:
a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
a display disposed in the housing and visible through the first surface, the display including a first edge region, a second edge region facing the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region facing the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length;
a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
a processor disposed in the housing and configured to receive, via the communication circuit, a signal corresponding to an application from an external electronic device; and
a display driver integrated (DDI) circuit,
wherein the processor is configured to control, using the DDI circuit, to display, on the display, a visual object including a first visual-effect portion, a second visual-effect portion, and a third visual-effect portion in response to receiving the signal, such that the first visual-effect portion is displayed along the first edge region, the second visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the third edge region as extended from a first end of the first visual-effect portion, and the third visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region as extended from a second end of the first visual-effect portion.
