1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a front cover, a rear cover facing a direction opposite a direction of the front cover, and a side frame surrounding a space between the front cover and the rear cover; and
a distance detection sensor module disposed in the space and configured to detect a distance to an external object through the front cover,
wherein the distance detection sensor module comprises:
a substrate including a light emitting unit, a light receiving unit, a control circuit, and a ground layer;
a module housing disposed on the substrate and including a first upper surface;
a first shield can disposed on the module housing and electrically connected to the ground layer of the substrate, the first shield can including a second upper surface;
a second shield can disposed on the first shield can, surrounding at least a portion of the light emitting unit exposed through the first shield can, and disposed to contact at least a portion of the first shield can; and
a shielding plate having the same area as the second upper surface of the first shield can and disposed on the second upper surface,
wherein the shielding plate includes a through hole penetrated by the second shield can protruding from the second upper surface of the first shield can and another through hole penetrated by a part of the light receiving unit protruding through the module housing and the second shield can.
