An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a first main body including a first surface and a second surface which faces the opposite direction to the first surface; a second main body including a third surface which faces the first surface of the first main body part when being folded in a first direction, and a fourth surface which faces the second surface of the first main body part when being folded in a second direction; a rotatable connection unit which connects at least a part of one side of the first main body part and at least a part of one side of the second main body part; a first display which is exposed to the first surface of the first main body part; a second display which is exposed to the third surface of the second main body part; a processor which is electrically connected to the first display and the second display; and a memory which is electrically connected to the processor. The memory, when being executed, may store instructions for instructing the processor to display the first screen and the second screen on the first display and the second display, respectively, when an angle between the first main body and the second main body is included in a first range, and to display at least one from among the third screen and the fourth screen on at least one from among the first display and the second display when an angle between the first main body and the second main body is out of the first range and is included in a second range due to the first main body and the second main body being folded in the second direction.

Electronic device comprising multiple displays and method for operating same

A method for operating an electronic device, comprising a plurality of displays, which includes a first body unit, a second body unit, a first display which is disposed on the other side of the first body unit and faces a first direction, a second display which is disposed on the other side of the second body unit and faces a second direction, and a processor configured to display on the first display a screen of a first application and, when the angle between the first body unit and the second body unit is smaller than a predetermined angle, display on the second display at least one of an image related to the first application, an image related to first content being executed by means of the first application and an image related to information obtained by means of the electronic device.

Electronic device comprising plurality of displays and method for operating same

A method for operating an electronic device, which includes a first body unit, a second body unit which is hinge-coupled to the first body unit such that one side, a first display which is disposed on the other side of the first body unit and faces a first direction, a second display which is disposed on the other side of the second body unit and faces a second direction, a sensor which is for obtaining direction information of the electronic device, and a processor configured to display on the first display an execution screen of a first application, determine whether the electronic device is flipped on the basis of the direction information, determine a second application for displaying an execution screen on the second display among a plurality of applications stored in the electronic device, and display a first execution screen of the second application on the second display.

Disclosed is a method for operating an electronic device. A method for operating an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment includes a step of displaying a screen of a first application on a first screen from among a plurality of screens; and a step of using, for the operation of the first application, a first communication network corresponding to the first screen from among the plurality of communication networks.
