Abstract
A rollable electronic device includes a display structure including a display area, a first housing fixed to the display structure, a second housing slidable with respect to the first housing and the display structure, a sliding driver which is in the first housing, and a tension transmitting member which is windable at the sliding driver, the tension transmitting member including a first end connected to the display structure and a second end connected the first housing. An opening operation includes the second housing sliding away from the first housing, expanding the display area, and the sliding driver winding the first end of the tension transmitting member, in a first rotational direction, and a closing operation includes the second housing sliding toward the first housing, contracting the display area, in the opening operation, the sliding driver winding the second end of the tension transmitting member, in a second rotational direction.
