Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a base housing, a sliding housing and that is coupled to the base housing so as to slide, a folding housing that at least partially overlaps the base housing and that is connected to the sliding housing, a display disposed on the folding housing and the sliding housing, a rolling module that is coupled to a rear surface of the display, and a hinge module connected to the folding housing and the sliding housing. The electronic device is configured to be capable of a sliding operation in which the folding housing and the sliding housing move in a sliding direction to extend or retract a display region of the electronic device and a folding operation in which the folding housing is folded or unfolded relative to the sliding housing to fold or unfold a portion of the display region.
