    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device includes a housing, a display viewable through a front surface of the housing and configured to display a screen, a camera sensor disposed in at least a portion of the front surface of the housing and configured to measure an external illuminance, a processor operationally connected to the display and the camera sensor; and a memory operationally connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: detect an turn-on event of the display, turn on the camera sensor to acquire the external illuminance using the camera sensor based on the display being turned on, acquire preview image information for a specified time through the camera sensor, turn off the camera sensor, acquire the external illuminance using an exposure time and a brightness value based on the acquired preview image information, and control a luminance of the display based on the external illuminance.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device including a processor configured to set a wake-up luminance of a display, based on a wake-up illuminance, to set, upon detecting an illuminance change through the illuminance sensor, a first target luminance of the display by using a first threshold illuminance value at a time point of detecting the illuminance change, to identify whether a flag setting related to an update of a threshold illuminance value is changed, while changing a luminance of the display based on the first target luminance, to determine the first target luminance as a final luminance of the display when there is no change in the flag setting, to update the first threshold illuminance value to a second threshold illuminance value when there is a change in the flag setting, and to change a target luminance of the display from the first target luminance to a second target luminance by using the second threshold illuminance value.

    Abstract: A foldable mobile electronic device is provided. The foldable mobile electronic device includes a processor configured to recognize, based on the data received from the first sensor, a change in a state of the foldable mobile electronic device from the folded state to a partially folded state before reaching an unfolded state, to identify a first illuminance by using the data received from the second sensor, based on the recognized state change, to set a first luminance corresponding to the first illuminance as a brightness of the display, to when an angle identified after the state change falls within a predetermined first angle range or when a specific time has not elapsed after the state change, perform a real-time adjustment operation on the brightness of the display, based on a second illuminance identified using the second sensor, and to when the angle identified after the state change is outside the first angle range or when the specific time has elapsed after the state change, perform a hysteresis adjustment operation on the brightness of the display, based on the first illuminance.
