Abstract: According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises a first housing comprising a first plate having a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface, and a first side frame forming a first space and at least partially surrounding the first plate; and a second housing comprising a second plate comprising a third surface facing a same direction as the first surface and a fourth surface facing away from the third surface, and a second side frame forming a second space and at least partially surrounding the second plate, wherein at least a portion of the first side frame of the first housing is coupled to at least a portion of the second side frame to be slidable in a first direction, and the first housing movable between a slide-out state and a slide-in state relative to the second housing; a flexible display comprising: a first portion extending across at least a portion of the third surface; and a second portion extending from the first portion and located in the first space

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first cover, a second cover that is coupled with the first cover and that performs a sliding operation, a display, an exposed area of which is changed in size in response to the sliding operation of the second cover, a panel support part that is disposed on one side of a rear surface of the display with respect to a front surface of the display and that includes a first hole exposed in response to the sliding operation of the second cover, a rotary shaft that makes contact with at least part of the panel support part and rotates in response to the sliding operation of the second cover, and a sensor, at least part of which is disposed under the first hole.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided and includes a display including a front area and a plurality of side areas, at least one processor, and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the at least one processor to receive a grip input for the display, identify a grip type based on the grip input, receive a touch input to at least one of the plurality of side areas while the electronic device is gripped, and identify a function corresponding to the touch input based on the identified grip type.

Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a first and second housing movable relative to each other. The second housing supports a flexible display which may be at least partially exposed to an exterior, and at least partially stowed within the first housing based on the movement of the housings. A processor implements the method including detecting movement of the housings such that a visible display area of the display is changed, detecting whether the resizing meets a predetermined condition, and if resizing does not meet the predetermined condition, executing image processing on a portion of the resized visible display area.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing including a first surface and a second surface, a second housing including a third surface and a fourth side, a folding portion, a flexible display disposed on the first surface and the third surface across the folding portion, and a hinge including a first planar portion disposed on the second surface, a second planar portion disposed on the fourth side, and a hinge center portion, wherein a first configuration where the folding portion is unfolded and the first housing and the second housing are parallel, and wherein a second configuration where the folding portion is folded and the first planar portion is at least partially inserted into the first housing and the second planar portion is at least partially inserted into the second housing and the first housing and the second housing are parallel.

Abstract: A flexible device is provided. The flexible device includes a main body, a flexible display fixed to a first face of the main body, an auxiliary display disposed on a first region of a second face of the main body that is opposite to the first face, and a cover coupled to the second face to be movable while facing the second face of the main body. The cover is configured to have an area to cover the whole of the second face of the main body, and to be moved when the main body is curved, bent, or folded. The auxiliary display is closed by the cover in a state where the flexible device is unfolded, and the auxiliary display is opened in a state where the flexible device is folded.
