An electronic device includes a housing including a recess; an internal structure disposed in the recess; and a display disposed in the recess and supported by the internal structure, where the display includes a display panel including a first region and a second region, where the second region forms at least part of an edge of the display panel; and a flexible polymer layer forming an outer surface of the display panel, where the flexible polymer layer includes a first portion covering the first region and the second region, and a second portion extending from the first portion, enclosing the at least part of the edge of the display panel, and extending inward. Thereby, foreign material can be prevented from entering into the display. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and method of forming flexible display thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a flexible touchscreen layer movable between an open state and a closed state and having a periphery located at a first distance from a first sidewall in the closed state, and located at a second distance longer than the first distance from the first sidewall in the open state. When the flexible touchscreen layer is moved from the open state to the closed state, at least part of the bendable portion may be led out from a recess to construct substantially a plane. When the flexible touchscreen layer is moved from the closed state to the open state, at least part of the bendable portion may be led into the recess to expose at least one of an inner structure having various modules disposed thereon or electronic component for access and/or use.

Electronic device with movable flexible display and operating method thereof

An electronic device includes a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction; a transparent substrate forming at least a portion of the first surface; a display disposed between the transparent substrate and the second surface of the housing and including a third surface facing the first direction and a fourth surface facing the second direction; at least one sensor disposed between a portion of the second surface of the display and a portion of the second surface of the housing; an electrical structure disposed between the sensor and a portion of the second surface of the housing; and a control circuit electrically connected to the electrical structure, wherein the control circuit detects an electrical signal occurring by a pressure from the second direction to a portion of the transparent substrate using the electrical structure.

Disposition structure of sensor of electronic device

An example electronic device includes a memory for storing data related to an application; a display comprising a first area in which a first sensor of a first method is disposed, and a second area in which a second sensor of the first method and a third sensor of a second method are disposed; and a processor. The processor is configured to display on the display an object related to the application via the first area, detect a first input for the object, while the first sensor and the second sensor are activated, deactivate the first sensor and the second sensor at least on the basis of the first input, execute a specified function related to the application on the basis of a second input inputted according to the second method via the second area, while the third sensor is activated.

Electronic device for controlling operation by using display comprising restriction area, and operation method therefor

Disclosed is an electronic device and multitasking interface providing method therefor. The electronic device presents at least a portion of specific content on at least a portion of the display via a window having a size desired by the user, provides a multi-window display according to user input and determines the content to be displayed in each window, and provides an update on specific content via the first window of the multi-window and an application list enabling application switching via the second window.

Interface providing method for multitasking and electronic device implementing the same

A method of providing a notification and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The method includes when an event is received, identifying a state of an electronic device and determining a notification type of the received event and when the notification type is a first type, outputting a notification of the received event in a sub display area of the electronic device.

Method of providing notification and electronic device for implementing same

An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a housing comprising, a touch screen, and at least one processor electrically connected coupled to the display. The processor implements the method including defining a main area and an extension area of a display of the electronic device, detecting selecting selection of a displayed content, detecting by a processor whether a characteristic of a portion of the content disposed along an edge of the content is equal to or less than a threshold, and enlarging the selected displayed content for display on the main area and extending to the extension area based on whether the characteristic of the portion is equal to or less than the threshold.

Electronic device having hole area and method of controlling hole area thereof

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a screen splitting method and an electronic device adapted to the method. Embodiments determine a split ratio of lock screen based on the communication information between electronic devices, split the lock screen according to the determined split ratio of lock screen, and display the split screens. The screen splitting method includes: checking communication information corresponding to a contact selected by a user; determining a split ratio of lock screen based on the checked communication information; and displaying the lock screens split based on the split ratio of lock screen. Other embodiments may be implemented.

Method of screen splitting and electronic device adapted to the method

A portable communication device is provided for generating a panorama image. The portable communication device includes a touchscreen display; a fingerprint sensor; an image sensor; and a processor adapted to display, via the touchscreen display, a preview image obtained via the image sensor; receive, via the fingerprint sensor, a user input while the preview image is presented; and in response to the user input, generate a panorama image using the image sensor.

Method for control of camera module based on physiological signal

The present disclosure relates to a method and an electronic device for executing a screen security function. The electronic device includes a display unit comprising a view angle limit panel disposed on a display panel, a sensor unit including at least one sensor, and a processor. The electronic device can receive a screen security execution command, identify a direction of the electronic device using the sensor unit functionally connected to the processor, determine a view angle limit direction based on the identified direction of the electronic device using the processor, and supply an electric current to the view angle limit panel based on the determined view angle limit direction using the view angle limit panel functionally connected to the processor.

Method and electronic device for executing screen security function

A method is provided. The method includes executing a camera application at an electronic device; activating a heart rate monitor (HRM) sensor operatively coupled with a first surface of the electronic device in response to the execution of the camera application; receiving an input signal via the HRM sensor; and capturing, using a processor operatively coupled with the electronic device, an image via an image sensor operatively coupled with a second surface of the electronic device based at least in part on the input signal.
