The flexible display may be at least partially bendable in response to the rotation of the second housing relative to the first housing. The hinge structure may include at least one rotating member, at least one detent member, and/or at least one pin member. The rotating member may include a first detent member coupled to the first housing and rotatable about a first rotational axis and/or a second detent member coupled to the second housing and rotatable about a second rotational axis parallel to the first rotational axis. The detent member may include a first detent member disposed in the first rotating member and including a first detent slot and/or a second detent member disposed in the second rotating member and including a second detent slot. The pin member may include a first pin member slidably connected to the first detent slot and/or a second pin member slidably connected to the second detent slot.
