Electronic device

An electronic device includes: a first housing, a second housing for accommodating the first housing to enable sliding of the first housing, a flexible display connected to the first housing, a slide driving unit for slidingly moving the first housing, and a processor. The processor identifies a reduced state where the flexible display is slid in a reduction direction or an expanded state where the flexible display is slid in an expansion direction, in the reduced state, identifies a first edge area of the flexible display as a first input area and controls the flexible display to enter the expanded state, based on an input through the first input area, and in the expanded state, identifies a second edge area of the flexible display as a second input area and controls the flexible display to enter the reduced state, based on an input through the second input area.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for controlling input area for expansion and reduction of display in the electronic device

An electronic device is provided and includes a display, memory, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs cause the electronic device to display a first screen in a first area of the display during a first state, detect an event in a state display a first object corresponding to the event in a partial area of the first area, identify a first gesture input of a user in an area, and change a state of the display from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the second area of the display are exposed to the outside of the electronic device.
