An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing movable with respect to the first housing, a motor for moving the second housing to be inserted and/or withdrawn with respect to the first housing, a display for displaying a display area having a size changeable according to the movement of the second housing, and a processor operatively connected to the display and the motor and being configured to identify whether a maintenance mode in which the size of the display area is maintained in a determined size is activated, control the motor to move the second housing according to the state of the electronic device corresponding to the deactivation of the maintenance mode, and maintain the size of the display area to be the determined size corresponding to the activation of the maintenance mode.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for operating electronic device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna module including a first array antenna, an intermediate frequency (IF) circuit electrically connected to the first mmWave antenna module through a first path, an ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna disposed to be adjacent to the first path, a UWB circuit electrically connected to the UWB antenna, and at least one processor electrically connected to the IF circuit and the UWB circuit, wherein the at least one processor controls the IF circuit to provide a signal of a first frequency band to the first mmWave antenna module, controls the UWB circuit to acquire, through the UWB antenna, a signal of a second frequency band partially overlapping the first frequency band, and may deactivate the UWB antenna or stop communication using the first mmWave antenna module according to whether a specified condition associated with the UWB antenna is satisfied.

Electronic device comprising plurality of antennas

A disclosed electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit and a plurality of antenna elements. Each of the plurality of antenna elements may include: a first feeder arranged at a first point on a first virtual line, a second feeder arranged at a second point on a second virtual line perpendicular to the first virtual line, and a third feeder arranged at a third point on a third virtual line. The first, second, and third feeders may be connected to the wireless communication unit via first, second, and third electrical paths, respectively. The device may further include a switch arranged on the first electrical path, the second electrical path, and the third electrical path, and configured to electrically connect or disconnect the first feeder, the second feeder, and the third feeder to the wireless communication circuit.

Dual polarization antenna and electronic device including same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprising a flexible display includes a first area and a second area extending from the first area, a motor module configured to move at least a part of the second area according to a driving state in the first state and the second state, and a processor electrically connected to the flexible display and the motor module. The processor identifies a characteristic value related to the motor module when being changed from the first state to the second state and controls the motor module such that an area exposed to the outside of the electronic device among the second area is changed based on the identified characteristic value.

Method for controlling flexible display and electronic device supporting the same

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a first housing including a first insulating portion, a second housing including a second insulating portion adjacent to the first insulating portion, a hinge connecting the first housing and the second housing to be pivotable from a folded state to an unfolded state with respect to a pivot shaft, a hinge cover exposed to an outside and covering the hinge in the folded state and including a third insulating portion in at least a partial area thereof, a flexible display configured to be deformable in response to relative motion of the second housing with respect to the first housing, and an antenna structure including an antenna circuit board disposed in at least a partial area of the hinge and a plurality of antenna elements comprising at least one antenna forming an array on or in the antenna circuit board. In the unfolded state, the plurality of antenna elements may be disposed to overlap the first insulating portion and/or the second insulating portion, and in the folded state, the plurality of antenna elements may be disposed to overlap the third insulating portion of the hinge cover.
