Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing structure including a first housing, a second housing, and a hinge housing, a hinge structure that is at least partially disposed in the hinge housing and that connects at least part of the first housing and at least part of the second housing to allow the first housing and the second housing to be folded or unfolded, with a folding axis therebetween, a display extending from the first housing to the second housing across the hinge housing, and a protective structure disposed at an edge of the hinge housing that faces a direction of the folding axis. The protective structure includes a fixed part disposed in the hinge housing, guide parts disposed in the first housing and the second housing, respectively, and moving parts including cover portions that cover at least parts of a periphery of the display. The moving parts are configured to be movable relative to the guide parts and the fixed part such that a gap between a surface of the display and the cover portions is changed.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a hinge module; a first housing, a second housing, and a flexible display. The first housing is connected to the hinge module. The second housing is connected to the hinge module. The flexible display is disposed through at least a portion of the first and second housings. The flexible display includes a display panel includes a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a direction opposite, when the electronic device is in an unfolded state. The flexible display also includes a window layer disposed at the first surface and a metal sheet layer. The display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer are disposed so that a separation distance between the display panel, the window layer, and the metal sheet layer and inner side walls of the first and second housings and generates different interlayer slips.
