Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display extending from a first housing to a second housing, and a hinge structure rotatably connecting the first housing and the second housing and including a fixed member, a first rotary member coupled to the fixed member so as to be rotatable about a first axis extending parallel to an axial direction and connected with the first housing, a second rotary member coupled to the fixed member so as to be rotatable about a second axis parallel to the axial direction and connected with the second housing, a first guide member coupled to the first rotary member so as to be rotatable about a third axis parallel to the first axis, a second guide member coupled to the second rotary member so as to be rotatable about a fourth axis parallel to the second axis, a first rotary plate at least partially coupled to the first guide member to rotate about the third axis with the first guide member and supporting a partial area of the display, and a second rotary plate at least partially coupled to the second guide member to rotate about the fourth axis with the second guide member and supporting another partial area of the display.…
