Abstract
An electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing, a flexible display including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area is exposed for view to the outside of the electronic device in a first state, and when the first state is switched to a second state according to movement of the second housing with respect to the first housing, at least a portion of the second area may be exposed for view to the outside of the electronic device together with the first area, and a processor. The processor may be configured to, in the first state, supply power related to driving of the flexible display to a first portion of the second area, the first portion being adjacent to the first area and not exposed for view to the outside through a front surface of the electronic device.
