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a second housing movable with respect to the first housing, a motor for moving the second housing to be inserted and/or withdrawn with respect to the first housing, a display for displaying a display area having a size changeable according to the movement of the second housing, and a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 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

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first housing and a second housing connected to the first housing to slide within a designated range, a flexible display including a display panel and a reinforcing sheet, the flexible display including a first portion and a second portion extended from the first portion, and drawn in or out of the housing as the second housing moves with respect to the first housing, a circuit board, and a fingerprint sensor spaced from a rear surface of the flexible display, and disposed on the circuit board. The reinforcing sheet may include a first opening area disposed between the fingerprint sensor and the display panel with the second portion drawn in and a second opening area disposed between the fingerprint sensor and the display panel with the second portion drawn out.

Electronic device including fingerprint sensor

An electronic device for obtaining a plurality of images by controlling a frame rate, and an operating method thereof is provided. The electronic device includes at least one camera, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to set a first point of interest and a second point of interest related to a moving image to be generated by using the camera, obtain a plurality of first images according to a first frame rate by using the camera, identify, through the first point of interest and the second point of interest by using at least a part of the plurality of first images, an external object that is being moved, in response to a motion of the external object through the first point of interest, obtain a plurality of second images regarding the external object according to a second frame rate by using the camera, in response to a motion of the external object through the second point of interest, obtain a plurality of third images regarding the external object according to the second frame rate or a third frame rate by using the camera, and generate the moving image including the plurality of first images, the plurality of second images, and the plurality of third images.

Electronic device for obtaining images by controlling frame rate for external moving object through point of interest, and operating method thereof

A device and methods for content display are disclosed. In various embodiments, a method for content display comprises detecting at least one of an open area or a transparent area in a display cover coupled to an electronic device, setting a partial display-area on a display area of the electronic device in response to the detecting, where the partial display-area corresponds to the at least one of the open area or the transparent area, setting content to the partial display-area, displaying the content in the partial display-area.
