Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first structure, a second structure coupled to the first structure so as to be slidable, a display including at least one portion disposed on the first structure and another portion accommodated in the second structure, the display being configured such that a size of an exposed region that forms a front side of the electronic device varies in response to a sliding motion of the second structure, a display support member disposed on a rear surface of a partial region of the display to support the partial region of the display, a first driving member that connects one side of the first structure and one side of the second structure and provides a first driving force to the second structure to move the second structure relative to the first structure, and a second driving member that is disposed on at least one of the first structure or the display support member and that provides a second driving force to the display support member to move a portion of the display support member relative to the first structure.
