An electronic device includes a housing; a flexible display at least partially exposed to an outside through the housing; and at least one processor operatively connected to the flexible display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: based on receiving a first user input on the flexible display for a sliding operation to expose a second part including at least part of a first part of the flexible display to the outside in a state in which the first part of the flexible display is exposed to the outside, identify an edge area of the flexible display to be slid, control the flexible display to display an indicator in at least part of an area of the first part of the flexible display corresponding to the edge area of the flexible display, and expose the second part to the outside by sliding at least part of the flexible display including the edge area after the indicator is displayed.

Slidable electronic device and control method therefor

Electronic device

An electronic device includes: a first housing, a second housing for accommodating the first housing to enable sliding of the first housing, a flexible display connected to the first housing, a slide driving unit for slidingly moving the first housing, and a processor. The processor identifies a reduced state where the flexible display is slid in a reduction direction or an expanded state where the flexible display is slid in an expansion direction, in the reduced state, identifies a first edge area of the flexible display as a first input area and controls the flexible display to enter the expanded state, based on an input through the first input area, and in the expanded state, identifies a second edge area of the flexible display as a second input area and controls the flexible display to enter the reduced state, based on an input through the second input area.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for controlling input area for expansion and reduction of display in the electronic device

An electronic device is provided and includes a display, memory, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs cause the electronic device to display a first screen in a first area of the display during a first state, detect an event in a state display a first object corresponding to the event in a partial area of the first area, identify a first gesture input of a user in an area, and change a state of the display from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the second area of the display are exposed to the outside of the electronic device.
