An electronic device, having fingerprint sensing function, is provided. The electronic device includes a display panel and a sensing module. The display panel has a surface configured to be pressed by a finger of a user. The sensing module is disposed under the display panel. The display panel displays a bright area in a fingerprint sensing area to emit an illumination beam to the finger. The sensing module obtains a base fingerprint image correspondingly. The display panel then displays the base fingerprint image in the fingerprint sensing area, so as to use the base fingerprint image as a light pattern to illuminate the finger. The sensing module obtains a second fingerprint image correspondingly. A fingerprint sensing method is also provided.
