Abstract
An electronic device according to an embodiment includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing to slide in a first direction, and a display including a first area having one end coupled to one side of the first housing so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation that faces in a second direction crossing the first direction and a second area adjacent to an opposite end of the first area. In a first state, the second housing is located in the first housing, one region of the second area of the display is folded toward a rear surface of the display, the display in a folded state is disposed on one surface of the first housing, and the first area of the display is visually exposed. In a second state, the display is unfolded such that the first area and the second area are visually exposed, and at least part of the second housing is withdrawn from the first housing and disposed on a rear surface of the second area of the display.
