In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, disclosed is an electronic device including a display, a first housing, a second housing at least partially overlapping and being movable with respect to the first housing, a first conductive region formed or disposed inside the first housing, and a second conductive region formed or disposed inside the second housing so as to at least partially overlap with the first conductive region when the first housing is moved with respect to the first housing, a display in which at least the first region is exposed to the outside of an electronic device through a front surface of the electronic device, and at least one processor in which, when the electronic device is switched from the first state to the second state, a second region extending from the first region of the display is withdrawn from the inside of the first housing and exposed to the outside of the electronic device along with the first region and, when the electronic device is switched from the second state to the first state, is introduced into the inside of the first housing and operatively connected to the display. The at least one processor identifies a capacitance value, based on an overlapped region of the first conductive region and the second conductive region, and determines an externally exposed region of the display, based on the identified capacitance value, and controls the region determined to be exposed outside, to an activated state, and controls the remaining region except the region determined to be exposed outside, to an inactivated state. In addition to this, various embodiments identified through the specification are possible.

Electronic device having flexible display

An electronic device may include a wireless communication circuitry, an antenna device to transmit or receive a signal associated with an operation of the wireless communication circuitry. The antenna device may include a ground layer, at least one antenna radiator disposed at an upper portion of the ground layer, a first cell layer in which a plurality of conductive cells having a first size and shape are repeatedly disposed, with a specific distance, at a peripheral portion of the at least one antenna radiator, and a second cell layer in which a plurality of conductive cells having a second size and shape are disposed with a specific distance at a lower portion of the first cell layer and at the peripheral portion of the at least one antenna radiator. Moreover, various embodiment found through the disclosure are possible.
