Abstract
An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing that is slidable along the first device housing. The electronic device includes a flexible display and a slider framework fixedly coupled to the first device housing. A display mover slidably couples the flexible display to the slider framework, while a housing mover slidably couples the second device housing to the slider framework. An actuator coupled between the display mover and the housing mover causes the display mover and the housing mover to slide symmetrically in opposite directions along the slider framework when the second device housing slides relative to the first device housing between a closed position and an open position.
