Abstract
An electronic device includes a first plate, a second plate continuously moving between a first state and a second state with respect to the first plate, a camera module disposed between the first plate and the second plate and including a lens, a flexible display including a planar portion and a bendable portion, and a multi-joint module overlapping the bendable portion of the flexible display and including a plurality of segment members. A position of the camera module and a direction of the lens may be changed in response to a state transition of the electronic device. The plurality of segment members may include at least one opening segment member, and an opening is formed in the opening segment member. The opening segment member may be moved in response to a change in the position of the camera module and a change of the direction of the lens.
