Abstract
Provided is an electronic apparatus including a flexible display comprising at least a portion disposed at a first surface, a body frame disposed at a second surface opposed to the first surface, a display frame moving to decrease a distance to a first region of the body frame in response to a reduction in size of the flexible display exposed on the first surface, a first sensor disposed at at least a portion of the first region of the body frame and configured to sense an approach of an object, and a controller configured to control the size of the flexible display exposed on the first surface based on measurement information of the first sensor. The first region includes a surface corresponding to a position of the display frame among at least one surface of the body frame.
