    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a variable display having a main display region visible out of the electronic device, wherein a size of the main display region may be reduced from a first display region to a second display region, and including a touch screen panel serving as a first input device, and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, electrically connected to the variable display. At least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to control the display to: display a cursor in the main display region and move the cursor into the second display region and display the cursor, based on identifying the main display region being reduced in size from the first display region to the second display region, based on the cursor being positioned in the first display region other than the second display region, in the state that the size of the main display region corresponds to the first display region.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may include: a first housing, a second housing, a first support, a second support, a flexible display, a motor assembly including a motor, and a first thermal conductive member including a thermally conductive material. The second housing may be slidable relative to the first housing. The first support may be positioned in the first housing. The second support may be positioned in the second housing. The flexible display may include a first area and a second area configured to extend from the first area. The first area may be disposed on the first support and be configured to be visible to the outside of the electronic device. The second area may be configured to, during sliding of the second housing, be withdrawn from or inserted into an inner space of the electronic device while being supported by the second support. The motor assembly may be connected to the second support through a bracket disposed on the second support and be configured to provide a drive force for sliding of the second housing. The first thermal conductive member may be disposed on the first support. Based on the second area being inserted in the inner space of the electronic device, the bracket may be configured to be in contact with the first thermal conductive member.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a rollable display, includes a rotation shaft arranged in an inner space of a housing in a first direction, a first printed circuit board (PCB)coupled to the rotation shaft, a rollable display arranged to be wound in the inner space of the housing, and is drawn out from the inside to the outside of the housing in conjunction with the rotation of the rotation shaft and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first electrical component which is arranged in the inner space of the housing and between a first flat portion and one end of the rotation shaft, fixed irrespective of the rotation of the rotation shaft, and a first rollable flexible PCB (FPCB) which allows the first PCB and the first electrical component to be electrically connected to each other.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include a housing including a first housing and a second housing configured to receive at least a portion of the first housing and move with respect to the first housing, a display configured to be extended based on a slide of the first housing, a motor disposed in the housing, a gear assembly configured to move the first housing and including a first gear connected to the motor and a second gear configured to mesh with the first gear, at least one sensor disposed in the housing and configured to detect a driving state of at least a portion of the gear assembly, and at least one processor operatively connected with the motor and the at least one sensor. The at least one processor may sense, through the at least one sensor, a signal related to the driving state of at least the portion of the gear assembly while at least one of the first gear or the second gear is driven and identify whether at least one of the first gear or the second gear is deformed based on the sensed signal.

    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing including an inner space; a slide structure including a reciprocating slide configured to be slidable from the housing by a predetermined reciprocating distance along a first direction; a flexible display at least partially supported by the slide structure and configured to be received in the inner space to be at least partially invisible from the outside in a slide-in state of the electronic device; and a first friction reducing structure disposed between the housing and the slide structure. The first friction reducing structure may include: a guide slit disposed in the housing in a direction parallel to the first direction and having a predetermined length; a guide protrusion configured to be guided by the guide slit in the slide structure; at least one first magnet disposed on the guide slit; and at least one second magnet disposed on the guide protrusion at a position affected by the magnetic force of the first magnet. The at least one first magnet and the at least one second magnet may be arranged to have identical polarities at least partially facing each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
