Disclosed is a foldable electronic device comprising: a foldable housing which includes a first housing and a second housing; a first display which is disposed at a first surface of the foldable housing, can be folded according to folding operations of the first housing and the second housing, and includes an exposure region exposed to the outside in a folded state; a second display which is disposed in at least a portion of a second surface of the first housing, positioned opposite to the first surface; a sensor which senses a folding angle of the foldable housing; and a processor which is operatively connected to the first display, the second display, and the sensor.

Foldable electronic device and multi-window operation method using same

An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a housing including a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing; a first hinge configured to enable the first housing and the third housing to pivot, and a second portion configured to enable the second housing and the third housing to pivot; a first display viewable through a first area of the first housing, a second area of the second housing, and a third area of the third housing; at least one sensor; a processor operably connected to the first display and the at least one sensor; and a memory operably connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: display a first screen of an application in a first state in which the first area and the second area face the third area, detect, through the at least one sensor, a change from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the third area face a same direction or a third state in which the second area and the third area face a same direction, determine a second screen of the application to be displayed through the first display in a state, among the second state and the third state, changed from the first state, and display the second screen through the first display in the changed state.

Method for providing screen using foldable display and electronic device for supporting same

Various examples of the present invention relate to an electronic device employing a flexible display, and an operating method therefor. The electronic device operating method comprises the steps of: detecting a form change of the electronic device; determining an account to be used in the changed form of the electronic device; and displaying a user interface (UI) on the electronic device on the basis of a setting corresponding to the determined account. Other examples are also possible.

Method and apparatus for performing display in electronic device

A method and a device for providing a user interface (UI) in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display that displays a UI corresponding to an operation state of the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display, wherein the processor is configured to determine the operation state of the display, display a first UI based on a first object according to a basic arrangement when the operation state is a first state, display a second UI based on the first object and a second object associated with the first object according to an expanded arrangement when the operation state is a second state, and display the second object in an area adjacent to the first object, corresponding to the expanded arrangement.
