An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing and a display including a transparent plate forming a front of the electronic device, a display panel viewable from the front of the electronic device through the transparent plate, a panel flexible circuit film arranged under the rear surface of the display panel including a bending part that extends toward the front surface of the display panel in a region adjacent to a first side surface of the electronic device, the bending part being electrically connected to the display panel on the front surface of the display panel, and a first support member arranged between the rear surface of the display panel and the panel flexible circuit film, a partial region of the first support member having an area larger than that of the panel flexible circuit film within a designated distance from the first side surface.

Electronic device comprising display module

A hinge module according to one embodiment includes a fixed structure including a central portion, a guide portion having an edge facing an edge of the central portion, and a support portion configured to connect the central portion and the guide portion, wherein an interior space is formed between the central portion and the guide portion, a connecting shaft extending into the interior space through the central portion and including a gear formed on at least a part of an outer circumferential surface of the connecting shaft, and a rotary structure disposed in the interior space, the rotary structure including a circular arc shaped gear having a plurality of gear teeth arranged in a circular arc shape and that are engaged with the gear, wherein the rotary structure rotates about a virtual axis of rotation passing through a center of a circular arc of the circular arc shaped gear.

Hinge module and foldable electronic device including the same

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing, a slidable body; a driver including: a drive motor, a rotatable drive shaft for the drive motor, and a nut frame including a latch projection, protruding in a direction of the slidable body, and a slide hinge disposed on the slidable body and coupled to the driver, wherein the slide hinge includes: a slide plate coupled to the slidable body, and a locker including a latch groove, into which the latch protrusion is inserted, wherein, when the latch projection is inserted into the latch groove, the slidable body is moved by the driver, and wherein the slide plate defines an escape area configured to receive at least a portion of the nut frame and/or the latch protrusion, when an external impact causes the latch protrusion to separate from the latch groove.
