Electronic device comprising flexible display, and operation method therefor

An operation method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• based on receiving a first signal, outputting, to a motor driving unit, a control signal for moving a second housing, which is disposed to be movable with respect to a first housing, in a first direction or a second direction by a pre-configured value;
• at a time of operation of the motor driving unit according to the control signal, comparing a measurement value related to movement by the motor driving unit with a pre-configured reference value;
• based on a result of the comparison, determining whether calibration of the motor driving unit is needed;
• and based on the determination that the calibration is needed, providing a user with a notification related to the calibration being needed.

An electronic device comprising:

• a first housing;
• a second housing disposed to be movable with respect to the first housing;
• a flexible display that is at least partially mounted on the second housing and is inserted into the first housing, based on movement of the second housing in a first direction, or is ejected from inside the first housing, based on movement of the second housing in a second direction;
• a motor driving unit configured to move the second housing in the first direction or the second direction;
• memory configured to store executable instructions;
• and at least one processor configured to access the memory to execute the instructions, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• based on receiving a first signal, output, to the motor driving unit, a control signal for moving the second housing in the first direction or the second direction by a pre-configured value;
• at a time of operation of the motor driving unit according to the control signal, compare a measurement value related to movement by the motor driving unit with a pre-configured reference value;
• based on a result of the comparison, determine whether calibration of the motor driving unit is needed;
• and in case that a result of the determination indicates that the calibration is needed, provide a user with a notification related to the calibration being needed, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, in case that an input related to execution of the calibration is received, output a calibration operation signal to the motor driving unit, and wherein the calibration operation signal is a signal for the motor driving unit to move the second housing in each of the first direction and the second direction, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to, at a time of operation of the motor driving unit according to the calibration operation signal, update the pre-configured value or update the pre-configured reference value, based on the measurement value related to the movement by the motor driving unit.
