In an embodiment, at least one of the components (e.g., connection terminal 178) may be omitted from electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added to electronic device 101. According to an embodiment, some of the components (e.g., sensor module 176, camera module 180, or antenna module 197) may be integrated into a single component (e.g., display module 160).

[0028] Processor 120 may run software (e.g., program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., hardware or software component) of electronic device 101 connected to processor 120, and may perform various data processing or calculations. According to an embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or calculation, processor 120 may store commands or data received from another component (e.g., sensor module 176 or communication module 190) in volatile memory 132, process the commands or data stored in volatile memory 132, and store the result data in non-volatile memory 134.

For example, when electronic device 101 includes a main processor 121 and an auxiliary processor 123, the auxiliary processor 123 may be configured to use less power than the main processor 121, or may be dedicated to a specific function. The auxiliary processor 123 may be implemented separately from the main processor 121, or may be implemented as part of the main processor 121.

[0029] When the main processor 121 is inactive (e.g., in sleep) state, the auxiliary processor 123 (rather than the main processor 121) can control at least some of the functions or states associated with at least one component of the electronic device 101 (e.g., display module 160, sensor module 176, or communication module 190), or when the main processor 121 is active (e.g., running an application), the auxiliary processor 123 can work with the main processor 121 to control at least some of the functions or states associated with at least one component of the electronic device 101 (e.g., display module 160, sensor module 176, or communication module 190).

Communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently of processor 120 (e.g., application processor (AP)) and support direct (e.g., wired) or wireless communication. According to embodiments, communication module 190 may include wireless communication module 192 (e.g., cellular communication module, short-range wireless communication module, or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) communication module) or wired communication module 194 (e.g., local area network (LAN) communication module or power line communication (PLC) module). One of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device 104 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a traditional cellular network, 5G network, next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules can be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip) or as multiple components separate from each other (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 can identify or verify the electronic device 101 in the communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

[0044] Wireless communication module 192 can support 5G networks following 4G networks and next-generation communication technologies (such as new radio (NR) access technologies). NR access technologies can support enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), or ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). Wireless communication module 192 can support high-frequency bands (e.g., millimeter-wave bands) to achieve, for example, high data transmission rates.

[0047] At least some of the aforementioned components can be interconnected and communicate signals (e.g., commands or data) between them via an inter-peripheral communication scheme (e.g., bus, general purpose input / output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), or mobile industrial processor interface (MIPI)).

[0048] According to an embodiment, commands or data can be sent or received between electronic device 101 and external electronic device 104 via server 108 connected to a second network 199. External electronic devices 102 or 104 can be devices of the same type as electronic device 101, or devices of a different type. According to an embodiment, all or some operations that would be performed on electronic device 101 can be performed on one or more of external electronic devices 102, external electronic devices 104, or server 108. For example, if electronic device 101 is required to automatically perform a function or service, or is required to perform a function or service in response to a request from a user or another device, electronic device 101 may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service, instead of running the function or service, or electronic device 101 may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least a portion of the function or service in addition to running the function or service.

When the first housing 210 is folded relative to the second housing 220 about the hinge assembly 230 (e.g., Figure 3 The first-1 side surface 211a can be close to the second-1 side surface 221a, and when the first housing 210 is deployed relative to the second housing 220 about the hinge assembly 230 (e.g., Figure 2 ), the 1-1 side surface 211a can move away from the 2-1 side surface 221a.

[0065] According to an embodiment, in the fully folded state of the electronic device 101, the first front surface can face the second front surface, and in the fully unfolded state, the first direction can be the same as the second direction. In the fully unfolded state, the distance between the first-1 side surface 211a and the second-1 side surface 221a can be maximized.

[0066] According to an embodiment, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are disposed on two opposite sides of the folding axis A and are generally symmetrical in shape with respect to the folding axis A. As described below, the angle or distance between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 can vary depending on whether the electronic device 101 is in an unfolded state, a folded state, or an intermediate state of being partially unfolded (or partially folded).

[0069] According to an embodiment, a cover window 215 is disposed on the rear surface of the electronic device 101 on one side of the folding axis A, and may have a perimeter that is, for example, substantially rectangular, and this perimeter may be surrounded by a first housing 210. Similarly, a rear cover 225 is disposed on the rear surface of the electronic device 101 on the other side of the folding axis A, and its perimeter may be surrounded by a second housing 220.

[0070] According to an embodiment, the cover window 215 and the rear cover 225 may have a shape that is substantially symmetrical about the folding axis A. However, the cover window 215 and the rear cover 225 do not necessarily have mutually symmetrical shapes, and in embodiments, the electronic device 101 may include the cover window 215 and the rear cover 225 having various shapes. In an embodiment, the cover window 215 may be integrally formed with the first housing 210, and the rear cover 225 may be integrally formed with the second housing 220.

[0071] According to an embodiment, the cover 215, rear cover 225, first housing 210, and second housing 220 can form spaces in which various components of the electronic device 101 (e.g., printed circuit boards or batteries) can be disposed. According to an embodiment, one or more components can be disposed on the rear surface of the electronic device 101 or can be visually exposed through the rear surface of the electronic device 101. For example, a display panel (e.g., Figure 4 At least a portion of the display panel 218 may be visually exposed through a first rear area 216 of the cover 215. For example, one or more components or sensors may be visually exposed through a second rear area 226 of the rear cover 225. In embodiments, sensors may include proximity sensors and / or rear cameras.

[0072] According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a sub-display. The sub-display may include a cover window 215 and a display panel 218. The cover window 215 may include a transparent material (e.g., glass), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0073] According to an embodiment, a front-facing camera disposed on the front surface (e.g., a second front surface) of the electronic device 101 or a rear-facing camera exposed through the second rear region 226 of the rear cover 225 may include one or more lenses, an image sensor, and / or an image signal processor.

[0074] According to an embodiment, when the electronic device 101 and / or the housing 201 is in a folded state (e.g., Figure 3 When the electronic device 101 and / or housing 201 are in the unfolded state (e.g., when the rear cover 215 is facing away from the rear cover 225), the cover window 215 can be facing away from the rear cover 225. Figure 2 When the cover 215 is facing a direction that is substantially the same as the rear cover 225, the cover window 215 can face the same direction.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 Including the hinge cover in the hinge assembly 230 (e.g., Figure 4 The hinge cover 232 can be disposed between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 to cover internal components (e.g., Figure 4 (Hinge structure 231). According to an embodiment, depending on the state of the electronic device 101 (expanded state, intermediate state, or folded state), the hinge assembly 230 may be covered by a portion of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 or may be exposed to the outside.

[0076] According to the embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the unfolded state (e.g., fully unfolded state) of the electronic device 101, the hinge assembly 230 can be concealed from being exposed by the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. According to an embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, in the folded state (e.g., fully folded state) of electronic device 101, the hinge assembly 230 may be exposed to the outside between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. As an embodiment, in an intermediate state where the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are folded at an angle, the hinge assembly 230 may be partially exposed to the outside between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. However, in this case, the exposed area may be smaller than in the fully folded state. In an embodiment, the hinge assembly 230 may include a curved surface.

[0077] In an embodiment, the flexible display 250 may be disposed within the space formed by the foldable housing 201. For example, the flexible display 250 may be housed in a recess formed by the foldable housing 201 and may be visible from the outside through the front surface of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the first front surface and / or the second front surface). According to an embodiment, the flexible display 250 may constitute a large portion of the front surface of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the first front surface and / or the second front surface). Therefore, the front surface of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the first front surface and / or the second front surface) may include the flexible display 250 and portions of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 adjacent to the flexible display 250. Furthermore, the rear surface of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the first rear surface and / or the second rear surface) may include a cover window 215, a portion of the first housing 210 adjacent to the cover window 215, a rear cover 225, and a portion of the second housing 220 adjacent to the rear cover 225.

[0080] like Figure 2 The division of the flexible display 250 shown is merely an example; depending on the structure or function of the display 250, it may be divided into multiple (e.g., four or more, or two) areas. For example, in Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the area of ​​the flexible display 250 can be divided by a folded region 253 extending parallel to the folding axis A, but the area of ​​the flexible display 250 can be divided by another folding axis (e.g., a folding axis parallel to the width direction of the electronic device).

[0081] According to embodiments, the flexible display 250 can be coupled to or disposed adjacent to a touch panel provided with touch sensing circuitry and a pressure sensor capable of measuring the intensity (pressure) of a touch. For example, as an example of a touch panel, the flexible display 250 can be coupled to a stylus for detecting electromagnetic resonance (EMR) type touches (e.g., Figure 1 The input module 150) is placed on the electromagnetic induction panel or adjacent to it.

[0082] According to an embodiment, the first display area 251 and the second display area 252 can be symmetrical in shape with respect to the folded area 253.

The surfaces of the first display area 251 and the second display area 252 of the flexible display 250 can form a 180-degree angle therebetween while facing the same direction (e.g., the front of the front surface of the electronic device). In this case, the folding area 253 can form a coplanar plane with the first display area 251 and the second display area 252.

[0085] According to an embodiment, when the electronic device 101 is in a folded state (e.g., Figure 3When the flexible display 250 is in operation, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 can be positioned facing each other.
