Abstract:
An electronic device is provided that includes a display in which a fingerprint recognition area is formed and which includes a display pixel layer, and a rear panel, formed under the display, having a first hole. The electronic device also includes a bracket, disposed under the rear panel, having a sensor accommodating area corresponding to a fingerprint sensor. The electronic device additionally includes the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display pixel layer and adapted to acquire image information to be used for authentication of a fingerprint using at least partially light radiated from the display pixel layer and reflected by the object. The sensor accommodating area has a second hole passing through the bracket, and the fingerprint sensor is disposed in the sensor accommodating area such that an air gap between the display and the fingerprint sensor is formed at least by a portion of the second hole.
