1. An electronic device comprising:
a front cover forming a front surface of the electronic device;
a rear cover forming a rear surface opposite to the front surface;
a display placed between the front cover and the rear cover and visually exposed through the front cover;
a first camera disposed on the front surface; and
a processor operatively connected to the first camera and the display,
wherein the display is divided into a display region and a sensor region when facing the front surface, and comprises:
a light-emitting/light-receiving layer comprising light-emitting diodes disposed in the display region, and at least one photodiode disposed in the sensor region; and
a filter layer placed between the front cover and the light-emitting/light-receiving layer and comprising light-emitting filters aligned with the light-emitting diodes in the display region, and at least one light-receiving filter aligned with the at least one photodiode in the sensor region, and
wherein the processor is configured to receive, from the at least one photodiode, light information related to light passed through the at least one light-receiving filter to be received by the at least one photodiode, and perform, by using the light information, a function related to an image acquired from the first camera to be displayed on the display.
