    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a flexible display including a plurality of layers and a support member having the flexible display mounted thereon. The flexible display includes a first region having a first flexibility and a second region having a second flexibility different from the first flexibility and extending from the first region in a first direction. At least one of the plurality of layers has a first structure in the first region and has a second structure different from the first structure in the second region. The support member includes a first portion that supports the first region such that at least part of the first region remains flat and a second portion that supports the second region such that at least part of the second region is bent and then unfolded.
