Abstract
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is switched from the first state to the second state, a second region extending from the first region of the display is withdrawn from the inside of the first housing and exposed to the outside of the electronic device along with the first region and, when the electronic device is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.
