Electronic device having sensor and method for obtaining information thereof

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a third surface substantially surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface and forming a lateral surface of the wearable device, a display received in the housing to be seen through the first surface, a printed circuit board disposed between the display and the second surface, and at least one biometric sensor disposed on the printed circuit board to face the second surface and including multiple light-emitting elements and multiple light-receiving elements, wherein the multiple light-emitting element include a first light-emitting element disposed in a peripheral area of the printed circuit board and configured to emit first light in a first specified band, and a second light-emitting element disposed in a center area of the printed circuit board and configured to emit second light in a second specified band at least partially different from the first specified band, and a wherein the multiple light-receiving elements include a first light-receiving element, and a second light-receiving element configured to receive light emitted from the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element and reflected from a portion of a user's body, the first light-emitting element being disposed in the peripheral area to be adjacent to each of the first light-receiving element and the second light-receiving element.
