An electronic device may include a housing including a first housing and a second housing to move relative to the first housing, a flexible display supported by at least one of the first housing or the second housing and changeable in form of a display area based on a movement of the second housing relative to the first housing, a board module disposed inside the housing, and a seating portion that forms a seating space receiving the board module and supports the board module.

Electronic device including printed circuit board module

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may comprise: a housing; a substrate disposed inside the housing and comprising a first electric element and an adhesive material; and a shielding material fixed to the substrate by the adhesive material, the shielding member having a shielding space formed therein, the first electric element being disposed in the shielding space. The shielding member may comprise: a plate facing the substrate; and a side wall formed between the plate and the substrate so as to connect the plate and the substrate, the side wall extending in a peripheral direction so as to surround the shielding space. The adhesive material may be disposed on the substrate so as to surround at least a part of the side wall. The side wall may comprise: an outer surface directed toward the shielding space; an inner surface disposed opposite the outer surface; and a bottom surface facing the substrate. The adhesive material has at least a part formed to at least partially cover the outer surface and the inner surface. At least one of the outer surface and the inner surface may have a recess formed therein so as to contain the adhesive material. Various other embodiments understood from the specification are also possible.

The disclosure relates to an electronic device including a rollable display is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface oriented in a first direction, a second surface oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction, a first side member slidable in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction, and a second side member facing away from the first side member, a flexible display including a first region oriented in the first direction and a second region extending from the first region and oriented in the second direction opposite to the first direction, a plate configured to support at least a portion of the flexible display and to perform a sliding movement to cause at least a portion of the second region to be oriented in the first direction so as to substantially enable expansion of the first region, at least one member configured to enable the sliding movement of the plate through a rotational motion, and a rotation detection sensor configured to detect a degree of rotation while the at least one member rotates about a rotating axis.

Rollable electronic device including flexible display

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise a housing, a plate coupled to the housing to reciprocate, a flexible display including a first portion disposed on the plate and a second portion extending from the first portion and exposed to an outside or retracted into an inside of the housing as the plate reciprocates, a motor configured to move the plate, at least one electronic component, a battery, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify an event for triggering a movement of the plate, identify a first power of the battery and a second power for controlling the flexible display and the at least one electronic component, based on the event, identify a third power for controlling the motor, based on the first power and the second power, and provide the motor with a signal corresponding to the third power.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for operating the same

An electronic device may include a housing, a display including a touch sensor panel, wherein the display is configured to move with respect to the housing so that at least one portion thereof is exposed from the inside of the housing to the front surface of the electronic device, and at least one processor operatively connected to the display. The at least one processor is configured to acquire, in a state in which at least one portion of the display is exposed to the front surface of the electronic device, data indicating a capacitance change on the at least one portion of the display through the touch sensor panel, identify a moisture-introduced state, based on the acquired data, and perform an operation of responding to the identified moisture-introduced state.

Electronic device for detecting moisture inflow and method for operating same

An electronic device is provided, which may include a first housing; a second housing configured to accommodate at least a portion of the first housing and guide a sliding movement of the first housing; a display including a first display area disposed on the first housing and a second display area extending from the first display area; a PCB configured to accommodate at least one electronic component; a support member configured to support the PCB; a side wall member connected to the support member and facing at least a portion of the first housing; a heat dissipation sheet configured to receive heat from the at least one electronic component, the heat dissipation sheet being disposed on the support member and the side wall member; and a heat dissipation member disposed on the side wall member and facing the heat dissipation sheet.
