An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a foldable housing comprising a hinge structure, and a first and a second housing structures connected to the hinge structure; a flexible display, a wireless communication circuit disposed inside the foldable housing; a grip sensor disposed in the foldable housing; at least one sensor disposed inside the foldable housing; a processor disposed inside the first housing structure or the second housing structure and operatively connected to the flexible display, the wireless communication circuit, the grip sensor, and the at least one sensor; and a memory, operatively connected to the processor, storing instructions that cause the processor to: measure an angle between the first and the third surface and/or an angle between the second and the fourth surface; detect a distance between the foldable housing and an external object; and control transmission power of the wireless communication circuit.

Electronic device and method for controlling transmission power thereof

An electronic device includes a first display driver configured to control a first display, a second display driver configured to control a second display, and a processor. The processor is configured to: if screen switching is detected while displaying first image data on the first display using a first pixel value, produce a first calibration value based on the difference between the first pixel value for display on the first display and a second pixel value for display on the second display; apply the first calibration value to the second pixel value so as to produce a third pixel value corresponding to the first pixel value; and control the second display driver so as to display the first image data on the second display using the third pixel value. Various other embodiments may be provided.

Electronic device and method for calibrating image data in electronic device

A foldable electronic device including a foldable housing including: a hinge structure; a first housing structure connected to the hinge structure; and a second housing structure connected to the hinge structure and being foldable with the first housing structure about the hinge structure. The foldable electronic device further including a flexible display disposed to be viewable from outside of the device; a locker & closer configured such that the foldable housing maintains an unfolding status or a folding status; a first damper member disposed in the interior of the first housing structure and including a magnetic substance; and a second damper member disposed in the interior of the second housing structure and including a magnetic substance such that a repulsive force is applied when being adjacent to the first damper member. In addition, electronic devices according to various embodiments can be provided.

Foldable electronic device including hidden damper

A flexible display device is provided, which includes a first housing, a second housing, a hinge structure that connects the first housing and the second housing and supports a hinge motion of the first housing or the second housing, a heat source disposed in the first housing, a heat sink disposed in the second housing, and a heat-dissipation path structure disposed across the first housing, the hinge structure, and the second housing. The heat-dissipation path structure transfers heat generated by the heat source to the heat sink.
