Electronic device including camera module in display and method for compensating for image around camera module

A method for compensating for an image around a camera module of an electronic device in which the camera module is disposed in a display for displaying a screen, the method comprising:

• executing an image-related program;
• extracting a pixel value of a plurality of pixels in a first region around the camera module as a first value;
• determining whether a change in output of the image in the first region is detected after the first value is extracted;
• extracting a pixel value of the plurality of pixels in the first region around the camera module as a second value based on the change in the image being detected;
• determining whether a difference between the first value and the second value is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
• and
• compensating for the image of the first region after determining the change in the output of the image and when the difference between the first value and the second value is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display configured to display a screen, the display including a first region and a second region different from the first region;
• a display driver circuit configured to receive video information to control the display to display the screen;
• a camera module comprising a camera disposed in the first region of the display, the first region comprising a first portion with an absence of pixels and a second portion comprising pixels, the first portion being an interruption in a matrix of pixels of the display where pixels are not present and corresponding to positioning of the camera module;
• and
• at least one processor operatively connected with the display driver circuit and the camera module,
• wherein the at least one processor or the display driver circuit is configured to control the electronic device to compensate for the first region to reduce a degree of visibility of the camera module,
• wherein the electronic device is configured to at least one of:
• apply a vignette effect on an image at a specified region extending along at least one edge of the display and a specified region surrounding the camera module including the first region on the screen, or
• limit a region where an image is displayed on the screen by a first boundary that excludes the camera module and a portion of the second region of the display.
