An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, at least one processor, a memory that is electrically connected to the at least one processor, and a display driver integrated circuit that is electrically connected to the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a synchronization signal request corresponding to a first process initiated by the at least one processor from the at least one processor, determine whether the first process is for displaying an image in response to the synchronization signal request, and control an activation state of the display driver integrated circuit for displaying the image based on a determination result. The memory is configured to store instructions for the at least one processor to initiate and run the first process.
