Abstract
An electronic device includes a display including a first area and a second area; a foldable housing including a first housing which supports the first area and a second housing which supports the second area; a hinge structure which connects the first housing and the second housing to be foldable relative to each other on a folding axis between a first state in which the first area and the second area are substantially coplanar, and a second state in which the first area and the second area face each other; and a protection structure provided on the display. At least a portion of the protection structure is included in the foldable housing, wherein the foldable housing may further include a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a side surface which encloses an inner space between the front surface and the rear surface. The protection structure, from a perspective facing the front surface of the foldable housing in the first state, covers at least some of a space between the display and the side surface of the foldable housing.
