    摘要: According to an embodiment, an electronic device may include an illuminance sensor including a first modulator obtaining a first signal for first illuminance values during a first integration time and a second modulator obtaining a second signal for second illuminance values during a second integration time, and a processor. The processor may be configured to calculate the first illuminance values and the second illuminance values based on the first and second signals, determine that an ambient light source is a flickering light source based on the second illuminance values, if obtaining display parameter information associated with an image output through the display, compensate for the first illuminance values based on the display parameter information and adjust a brightness value of the display based on the compensated first illuminance values, and if failing to obtain the display parameter information, adjust the brightness value of the display based on the second illuminance values.

    摘要: 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.
