Abstract

An electronic device includes a display module including: a display panel foldable with respect to a folding axis and a support part disposed under the display panel; and an accommodating part which accommodates the display module. The display panel includes: a first display portion covered by the accommodating part in a folded state of the display panel; and a second display portion exposed to the outside in the folded state. The accommodating part includes: a first accommodating part which accommodates the first display portion in the folded state; and a second accommodating part which accommodates the first accommodating part in the folded state. As the display panel is folded, an included angle between the first display portion and the second display portion decreases, and an area in which the first accommodating part overlaps the second accommodating part increases in a plan view.
