1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a sensor comprising a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB); and
a display module comprising a first panel comprising a plurality of pixels disposed between a first surface and a second surface of the first panel, a cover layer disposed on the first surface of the first panel, and a second panel disposed on the second surface of the first panel and having an opening passing therethrough in which at least a portion of the sensor is disposed,
wherein the sensor is attached to the second surface of the first panel in the opening,
wherein the second panel comprises a first layer coupled to the first panel on one surface thereof and a second layer coupled to the first layer on an opposite surface of the one surface of the first layer,
wherein the opening passing through the second panel corresponds to an area in which a first opening in the first layer and a second opening in the second layer overlap each other,
wherein the second opening comprises a first area corresponding to the first opening and a second area extending in an extension direction from the first area and into which the FPCB extends, and
wherein a second height of the second area in a lateral direction perpendicular to the extension direction is less than a first height of the first area in the lateral direction.
