An electronic device includes: a housing structure; a flexible display provided on the housing structure; a pressure sensor including a first resistor and a second resistor that are provided in at least a portion of the flexible display; and a control circuit configured to detect a value associated with a pressure applied to the flexible display based on values corresponding to the first resistor and the second resistor in case that the flexible display is touched.

Electronic device including pressure sensor and method for operating same

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: one or more first electrodes; one or more second electrodes arranged in at least a different direction from the one or more first electrodes; one or more third electrodes arranged between the one or more second electrodes, respectively, in the same direction as the second electrodes when viewed from above; and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to detect touch information related to an external object, at least on the basis of a change in a capacitance value between at least a part of the one or more first electrodes and at least a part of the one or more second electrodes, and detect hovering information related to the external object, at least on the basis of a capacitance value related to at least a part of the one or more third electrodes. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device comprising sensor for touch recognition and sensor for hovering recognition, and method for operating same

Various embodiments relate to a foldable electronic device and a method for detecting a touch input by a foldable electronic device. The method may include: detecting an angle between a first housing and a second housing; and adjusting a touch-sensing sensitivity on at least a portion of a third side adjacent to a first side to be lower than a touch-sensing sensitivity on the first side based on a touch input being detected on the first side where the angle is smaller than a specified angle.

Foldable electronic device and method for detecting touch input in foldable electronic device

According to various embodiments, a display or an electronic device comprising the same comprises: a first layer comprising a first member; a second layer which is formed beneath the first layer, the second layer comprising a second member; and a third layer which is formed between the first layer and the second layer, the third layer comprising an adhesive member. The third layer has a first area which may be formed by using a first adhesive member having a first attribute, and a second which may be formed by using a second adhesive member having a second attribute. In addition, other various embodiments are also possible.

Display and electronic device comprising same

An foldable electronic device and method are disclosed. The device includes: a foldable housing rotatable about a hinge, enabling folding of a flexible display. The device further includes a touch sensor, a first processor and a second processor. The processors implement the method, including: by the first processor, detecting an external object contacting the flexible display and requesting activation of the second processor based on the detection; and by the second processor: activating and outputting a notification warning of potential damage to the flexible display if the device is folded closed with the external object present on the flexible display.
