A portable communication device in an embodiment may include a housing which forms an exterior of the portable communication device; a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and bendable with respect to a bending axis, the flexible display including at least one layer, an opening formed in the at least one layer; and an image sensor module at least partially positioned in a space formed by the opening, wherein the at least one layer may include a first inner side surface positioned in a first direction based on the image sensor module and a second inner side surface positioned in a second direction opposite to the first direction based on the image sensor module, as the flexible display is at least partially bent, the first inner side surface may be moved in the second direction, and if the flexible display is substantially flat, a first separation distance between a first side surface of the image sensor module facing the first inner side surface of the at least one layer and the first inner side surface of the at least one layer may be greater than a second separation distance between a second side surface of the image sensor module facing the second inner side surface of the at least one layer and the second inner side surface of the at least one layer.

Electronic device comprising flexible display

According to various embodiments, an electronic device can comprise: a housing including a first surface oriented in a first direction, and a second surface oriented in a second direction traversing the first direction; a display, which is arranged along at least a part of the first surface and at least a part of the second surface and has at least a portion including a curved surface; and an optical unit arranged along the first direction.

Electronic device including flexible display

Disclosed is an electronic device including a display for data input/output, a bent display having a bent face formed by bending at least portion of a flat-type display and on which a mounted component is exposed, to provide a unique user experience, pleasing aesthetics, increased user function and improved grip capabilities.

Electronic device including bent display and method of displaying image on bent display

An electronic device and its operating method are provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface, a second surface facing the first surface in a spaced apart manner, and a lateral surface surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface, a display mounted to the housing and including a flat area substantially corresponding to the first surface and a bending area extended from the flat area in a direction of the lateral surface, a filler disposed between the housing and the bending area of the display, at least one electronic component which is installed to the filler and of which one part is exposed to the outside by penetrating at least one region of the bending area of the display, a detection circuit disposed inside the housing and electrically connected to the electronic component to detect an operation of the electronic component, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the detection circuit and the display to provide control to perform a corresponding function of the electronic device on the basis of a provided detection signal.
