Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a sensor configured to measure a temperature of the electronic device; a flexible display wherein an area of the flexible display visible to the outside can be changed; a memory storing executable instructions; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry configured to access the memory and execute the instructions, wherein at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, is configured to: identify a first input for changing the size of the visible area of the flexible display, identify the temperature of the electronic device via the sensor based on the identification of the first input, and identify change conditions of the size of the flexible display based on the identified temperature.

Electronic device for managing temperature, and operating method therefor

An electronic device may include a first housing, a second housing, a flexible display including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area is exposed for view to the outside of the electronic device in a first state, and when the first state is switched to a second state according to movement of the second housing with respect to the first housing, at least a portion of the second area may be exposed for view to the outside of the electronic device together with the first area, and a processor. The processor may be configured to, in the first state, supply power related to driving of the flexible display to a first portion of the second area, the first portion being adjacent to the first area and not exposed for view to the outside through a front surface of the electronic device.

Method for controlling flexible display and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a housing, a battery, a flexible display including a first area and a second area extending from the first area and configured to move from the housing to change the size of an area visible to the front face of the electronic device, a sensor configured to identify information related to the size of the visible area of the display, and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: identify size information of the visible area of the display using the information received from the sensor, and control the display to display information related to an available usage time of the electronic device based on the identified size information and the remaining amount of the battery.

Electronic device including flexible display and method of operating the same

Disclosed is an electronic device including a display including a first part where a size viewed from an outside is constant and a second part where an area viewed from the outside is variable, a display driver integrated circuit (IC) configured to control the display, a memory, and a processor operatively connected with the display driver IC and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to, based on the area of the second part viewed from the outside, define a plurality of virtual regions including a first region and a second region adjacent to each other, based on an accumulated value of red, green, blue (RGB) values applied to each frame displayed on a screen, acquire color information of each of the plurality of virtual regions, based on an accumulated use time for each of the plurality of virtual regions and the color information, calculate a plurality of total accumulated values of each of the plurality of virtual regions, set a boundary, which is positioned between the first region and the second region, as a degradation boundary, when a difference value between a first total accumulated value of the first region and a second total accumulated value of the second region is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and transmit degradation data including the degradation boundary to the display driver IC.

Electronic device including display having variable screen size and method for compensating degradation of the display

Disclosed is an electronic device having a variable screen size and in which a degradation boundary may be set based on a total accumulated value. The display having the variable screen size may be partitioned into a plurality of virtual regions, based on the set degradation boundary. Accordingly, the degradation may be compensated with respect to each of the virtual regions.
