Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing including a first space, a second housing including a second space, the second housing coupled to the first housing such that the second housing is slidable in a first direction, and a bendable member connected to the first housing. The bendable member is partially accommodated in the second space in a slid-in state and is at least partially coplanar to the first housing in a slid-out state. The electronic device includes a flexible display including a first portion disposed to be visible in the slid-in state and a second area extending from the first portion and accommodated in the second space through at least a portion of the bendable member, and a support assembly disposed to be oriented from the first housing toward the second space and configured to press the second housing in a slid-out direction.
