Electronic device including flexible display

#The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, and for example, to electronic devices with a foldable flexible display on the outer surface thereof.

#Advancing information communication and semiconductor technologies accelerate the spread and use of various electronic devices. In particular, recent electronic devices are being developed to carry out communication while being carried.

#The term “electronic device” may mean a device performing a particular function according to its equipped program, such as a home appliance, an electronic scheduler, a portable multimedia player, a mobile communication terminal, a tablet PC, a video/sound device, a desktop PC or laptop computer, a navigation for automobile, etc. For example, electronic devices may output stored information as voices or images. As electronic devices are highly integrated, and high-speed, high-volume wireless communication becomes commonplace, an electronic device, such as a mobile communication terminal, is recently being equipped with various functions. For example, an electronic device comes with the integrated functionality, including an entertainment function, such as playing video games, a multimedia function, such as replaying music/videos, a communication and security function for mobile banking, and a scheduling or e-wallet function. Such electronic devices become compact enough for users to carry in a convenient way.

#The above and other aspects, features and attendant advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an electronic device in a network environment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;

#FIG. 2A is a front view illustrating an electronic device in an unfolded position according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;

#Throughout the drawings, like reference numerals will be understood to refer to like parts, components, and structures.

#Hereinafter, various example embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments, and all changes and/or equivalents and/or replacements thereto also belong to the scope of the present disclosure. The same or similar reference denotations may be used to refer to the same or similar elements throughout the specification and the drawings.

#As used herein, the terms “have,” “may have,” “include,” or “may include” a feature (e.g., a number, function, operation, or a component such as a part) indicate the existence of the feature and do not exclude the existence of other features.
