Electronic device and motor driving method using same

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing, a flexible display of which a display area varies based on a sliding motion of the second housing, a drive motor configured to control the sliding motion of the second housing, memory storing instructions, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the flexible display, the drive motor, and the memory. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to detect a touch input event for an object displayed through the flexible display, individually or collectively, cause the electronic device, identify whether the touch input event satisfies a sliding condition, when the touch input event satisfies the sliding condition, output sliding content corresponding to the object, and drive the drive motor so that the display area of the flexible display varies on the basis of the sliding content.
