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.
