Abstract
An electronic device includes a flexible display, a foldable housing, and a flexible display disposed on one surface of the housing. The housing includes a first part, a second part, and a connection unit for connecting the second part to the first part to be relatively movable. The connection unit has hinge members extended substantially in parallel to an edge of the first or second part, arranged between the first part and the second part, and forming part of the one surface of the housing. As the hinge members move relative to each other, the hinge members connect the second part to the first part to enable relative movement of the second part with respect to the first part between a position in which the second part faces the first part and a position in which the second part is leveled next to the first part.
