US 2026/0281222 A1 · METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

Abstract

A method and an electronic device including a flexible display are provided. The electronic device includes a plurality of batteries, a flexible display, a motor configured to drive at least a portion of the flexible display to move, motor driving circuitry connected to the motor, switch circuitry including a plurality of switches, configured to switch between a first state connecting the plurality of batteries in series and a second state connecting the plurality of batteries in parallel, memory including one or more storage media, storing instructions, and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to identify an event for switching an electrical connection state of the plurality of batteries, and, based on the identified event, control the switch circuitry to switch the electrical connection state from the first state to the second state or from the second state to the first state.
