Abstract
An electronic device may include: a first housing; a second housing disposed movably with respect to the first housing; a display disposed on the second housing and expanded or contracted as the second housing moves; a motor; a pinion gear disposed in the first housing and rotatable by receiving driving force from the motor; a rack gear disposed in the second housing, engaged with the at least one pinion gear and movable by the rotation of the at least one pinion gear; a switching structure disposed between the motor and the pinion gear, and changeable to a gear-connected state, or a gear-released state, an actuator disposed in the first housing, configured to change a state of the switching structure; and at least one processor operably coupled to the motor and the actuator, and the processor may be configured to change the switching structure to the gear-connected state or the gear-released state through the actuator based on identifying the designated event.
