Abstract:
An electronic device includes: a base housing, a sliding housing at least partially overlapping the base housing and slidably coupled to the base housing, a folding housing least partially overlapping the base housing and connected to the sliding housing, a display disposed on the folding housing and the sliding housing, at least part of the display being located inside the base housing, a rolling module comprising a rollable support coupled to a rear surface of the display and having one side connected to the sliding housing and an opposite side extending into an inner space of the base housing, and a hinge module comprising a hinge connected to the folding housing and the sliding housing wherein the sliding housing is configured to rotate about a first axis of rotation and the folding housing is configured to rotate about a second axis of rotation. The electronic device is configured to be capable of performing a sliding motion in which the folding housing and the sliding housing move in a sliding direction to extend or retract a display area of the electronic device and a folding motion in which the folding housing is folded or unfolded relative to the sliding housing to fold or unfold part of the display area.
