Electronic device including proximity sensor having a plurality of light receiving elements and method of controlling the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a display having at least one hole disposed in at least a part thereof such that light from an outside can be transmitted therethrough;
• a light-emitting element disposed under the display and configured to output a first infrared ray to the outside;
• a first light-receiving element disposed under the display at a position corresponding to the at least one hole, and configured to receive a second infrared ray transmitted from the outside;
• a second light-receiving element disposed under the display at a position where light from the outside is shielded;
• and
• at least one processor,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• while the first infrared ray is output, identify a first sensing value according to the second infrared ray, output from the first light-receiving element, and a second sensing value output from the second light-receiving element,
• based on that the identified second sensing value satisfies a second specified condition, and based on the identified second sensing value, correct the first sensing value, and
• identify whether a proximate object exists, based on the corrected first sensing value.
