The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0042] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate.

[0051] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) may form at least a portion of the exterior of the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the surface on which the display (230) is visually exposed is defined as a front surface (e.g., a first front surface (210a) and a second front surface (220a)) of the electronic device (101) and / or the housing (202). The surface opposite the front surface is defined as a back surface (e.g., a first back surface (210b) and a second back surface (220b)) of the electronic device (101). The surface surrounding at least a portion of the space between the front surface and the back surface is defined as a side surface (e.g., a first side surface (210c) and a second side surface (220c)) of the electronic device (101).

[0052] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) may be rotatably connected to the second housing (220) using a hinge structure. For example, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may each be rotatably connected to the hinge structure (280). Accordingly, the electronic device (101) may be variable in a folded state (e.g., FIG. 3) or an unfolded state (e.g., FIG. 2). In the folded state, the first front surface (210a) may face the second front surface (220a), and in the unfolded state, the direction in which the first front surface (210a) faces may be substantially the same as the direction in which the second front surface (220a) faces. For example, in the unfolded state, the first front surface (210a) may be positioned substantially on the same plane as the second front surface (220a). In one embodiment, the second housing (220) may provide relative motion with respect to the first housing (210).

[0053] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) are arranged on both sides with respect to the folding axis (A) as the center, and may have a shape that is overall symmetrical with respect to the folding axis (A). The angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be changed depending on whether the state of the electronic device (101) is in an unfolded state, a folded state, or an intermediate state between the unfolded state and the folded state.

[0054] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include a hinge cover (240). At least a portion of the hinge cover (240) may be disposed between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220).

[0057] According to one embodiment, the display (230) may refer to a display in which at least a portion of the display can be transformed into a flat or curved surface. For example, the display (230) may be formed to be variable in response to the relative movement of the second housing (220) with respect to the first housing (210). According to one embodiment, the display (230) may include a folding area (233), a first display area (231) positioned on one side (e.g., above (+Y direction)) of the folding area (233), and a second display area (232) positioned on the other side (e.g., below (-Y direction)). According to one embodiment, the folding area (233) may be positioned above the hinge structure. For example, at least a portion of the folding area (233) may face the hinge structure (280). According to one embodiment, the first display area (231) may be disposed on the first housing (210), and the second display area (232) may be disposed on the second housing (220). According to one embodiment, the display (230) may be accommodated in the first housing (210) and the second housing (220).

[0058] However, the division of the areas of the display (230) illustrated in the above drawing 2 is exemplary, and the display (230) may be divided into multiple areas (for example, four or more or two) depending on the structure or function.

[0059] Also, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the display (230) may be divided into regions by a folding region (233) extending parallel to the X-axis or a folding axis (A-axis), but in other embodiments, the display (230) may be divided into regions based on another folding region (e.g., a folding region parallel to the Y-axis) or another folding axis (e.g., a folding axis parallel to the Y-axis).
