a camera being in the second portion to photograph an object over the panel through the second portion.
17. The cell phone of claim 16 , further comprising:
a control unit to control the network interface and the user interface, and to control the cameras to perform a photographing mode to photograph the object,
wherein the photographed object is displayed on the panel.
18. The cell phone of claim 16 , further comprising:
a control unit to control the network interface and the user interface, and to control the camera to perform a sensing mode to sense the object to perform a function,
wherein the sensed object is not displayed on the panel.
19. The cell phone of claim 16 , further comprising:
a control unit to control the network interface and the user interface, and to control the camera to selectively perform a sensing mode to sense the object to perform a function and a photographing mode to photograph the object,
wherein the sensed object is not displayed on the panel, and the photographed object is displayed on the panel.
20. The cell phone of claim 16 , wherein the second portion is formed in the display panel.
21. The cell phone of claim 16 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are parallel to each other within the panel.
22. The cell phone of claim 16 , wherein the second portion is formed in the first portion in a thickness direction of the panel which is perpendicular to a display area of the panel.
23. The cell phone of claim 16 , wherein the second portion is smaller than the first portion with respect to a display area of the panel.
