In an electronic device,
a housing including a first surface and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface;
at least one transparent plate disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface;
a decorative layer formed on the inner surface of the transparent plate; and
a transparent display disposed between the transparent plate and the decorative layer on any one of the first surface and the second surface to output a screen;
and the transparent display is configured to visually expose at least a portion of the decorative layer.
The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the decoration layer includes at least one of a plating layer, a deposition layer, a printed layer, a tinting film, and/or an ultraviolet curing pattern layer.
10. The method of claim 9,
The electronic device further comprising a shielding layer formed to face the transparent display with the decorative layer interposed therebetween.
10. The method of claim 9,
Further comprising an optical adhesive layer disposed between the decorative layer and the transparent display,
wherein the optical adhesive layer is configured to visually expose at least a portion of the decorative layer.
10. The method of claim 9,
The electronic device further comprising a touch sensing layer disposed between the transparent display and the transparent plate.
10. The method of claim 9,
processor;
a camera module disposed in the housing such that the transparent display faces a screen output direction from the side on which the transparent display is disposed; and
Further comprising a first display disposed in the housing to output a screen in a direction different from that of the transparent display,
The processor is configured to output an image acquired through the camera module using at least one of the transparent display and the first display.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the processor,
Obtaining an image of a subject using the camera module,
An electronic device configured to output a live view image of a subject using at least one of the transparent display and the first display while acquiring the subject image.
15. The method of claim 14,
Further comprising a touch sensing layer disposed on the transparent display,
The processor is
Obtaining an image of a subject using the camera module,
While acquiring the subject image, a graphic object related to acquiring the subject image is displayed using the first area of the transparent display, and a live view image of the subject is output using the second area of the transparent display and
An electronic device configured to sense a user input in the first area using the touch sensing layer.
The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the graphic object comprises at least one of a shooting mode switching button, a shutter button, a zoom button, and a sensitivity control button.
10. The method of claim 9,
further comprising a processor;
The processor is configured to output at least one of a pattern, a character, a screen flickering, a gradual color change, or a movement of a color change using the transparent display.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the processor,
