    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a device and method of controlling an optical sensor module in an electronic device. The electronic device includes: a housing: a display disposed in an internal space of the housing to be at least partly visible from outside through the housing and including a plurality of signal lines; an optical sensor module disposed in the internal space below the display and overlapping the display, and including a first light emitting element overlapping a first signal line of the display, a second light emitting element overlapping a second signal line different from the first signal line of the display, and a light receiving element configured to collect light from the first light emitting element and/or the second light emitting element that is reflected and received from an external object; and a processor operatively connected to the display and the optical sensor module. The processor is configured to control the first light emitting element based on an off-time point of time of the first signal line corresponding to brightness of the display such that the first light emitting element emits light at a first light-emitting point of time, and to control the second light emitting element based on a time difference between off-time points of time of the first signal line and the second signal line such that the second light emitting element emits light at a second light-emitting point of time different from the first light-emitting point of time.
