Electronic device including flexible display

Abstract

An electronic device according to an embodiment may include: a housing including a first housing and a second housing slidably connected to the first housing; a flexible display including a first area and a second area extending from the first area and configured to be drawn into or out of the housing as the second housing slides; a support plate disposed inside the electronic device and coupled to the second housing and configured to slide, wherein the support plate includes at least one magnet disposed in an area of the support plate such that an N-pole and an S-pole are aligned in a first direction in which the second housing slides; a Hall sensor structure including at least one Hall sensor disposed inside the first housing adjacent to the at least one magnet and configured to measure a magnetic field of the at least one magnet, wherein Hall sensors of the Hall sensor structure are disposed along the first direction while respective Hall sensors are spaced apart from each other by a first distance; and at least one processor electrically connected to the Hall sensor structure, wherein the processor may be configured to: determine a moving distance by which the second housing slides with respect to the first housing based on the magnetic field acquired by the Hall sensor structure via the at least one magnet.
