Electronic apparatus for controlling size of display and method for controlling the same

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a flexible display including at least a portion of the flexible display positioned at a front side of the electronic apparatus, wherein a size of the at least a portion of the flexible display positioned at the front side of the electronic apparatus is changeable;
• a first sensor configured to detect a pressure applied to a rear side of the electronic apparatus, wherein the first sensor is disposed to be adjacent to the rear side;
• a controller configured to detect a first input to the rear side using the first sensor for controlling the size of the at least a portion of the flexible display positioned at the front side based on a pressure corresponding to the first input satisfying a predetermined condition;
• a second sensor configured to detect an approach of an object based on a change in capacitance, wherein the second sensor comprises a metal electrode part and a sensing part configured to detect a change in capacitance of the metal electrode part, wherein the sensing part is disposed at a fixed part of the electronic apparatus and the metal electrode part is disposed at a variable part of the electronic apparatus;
• the fixed part having a predetermined fixed position and the variable part that moves for changing a size of the portion of the flexible display positioned at the front side, wherein the controller is further configured to control the size of the at least a portion of the flexible display positioned at the front side based on the first input when a value detected by the second sensor satisfies a first condition.
