For example, in one embodiment, the first housing (210) and the first back cover (240) may be formed integrally, and the second housing (220) and the second back cover (250) may be formed integrally. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the term "housing" may mean a combination and / or combined configuration of various other parts not mentioned. For example, a first region (231a) of the first display (230) may be described as forming one side of the first housing (210), and in one embodiment, a first region (231a) of the first display (230) may be described as being placed or attached to one side of the first housing (210).

[0058] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) is connected to a hinge structure (e.g., the hinge structure (270) of FIG. 4 described below) and may include a first surface (210a) facing a first direction and a second surface (210b) facing a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second housing (220) is connected to a hinge structure (e.g., the hinge structure (270) of FIG. 4 described below) and includes a third surface (220a) facing a third direction and a fourth surface (220b) facing a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and may rotate or pivot relative to the first housing (210) around the hinge structure (or folding axis (A)).

[0059] According to one embodiment, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be positioned on both sides (or upper / lower sides) around the folding axis (A). The angle or distance at which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) intersect each other may vary depending on whether the state of the electronic device (101) is in an unfolded state, a folded state, or an intermediate state that is partially unfolded (or partially folded).

[0060] According to one embodiment, at least a portion of the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be formed of a metal or non-metal material having a selected size of rigidity to support the first display (230). The at least portion formed of the metal material may be provided as a ground plane or a radiating conductor of the electronic device (101), and when provided as a ground plane, may be electrically connected to a ground line formed on a printed circuit board (e.g., printed circuit board (216, 226) of FIG. 4).

[0061] According to one embodiment, a first rear cover (240) is positioned on one side of the folding axis (A) on the rear of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the upper side in FIG. 2) and may have a substantially rectangular periphery, for example, and the periphery may be wrapped by a first housing (210) (and / or a side bezel structure). Similarly, a second rear cover (250) is positioned on the other side of the folding axis (A) on the rear of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the lower side in FIG. 2) and its periphery may be wrapped by a second housing (220) (and / or a side bezel structure).

[0062] According to one embodiment, the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) may have a substantially symmetrical shape with respect to the folding axis (A). However, the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) do not necessarily have mutually symmetrical shapes, and in one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may include the first rear cover (240) and the second rear cover (250) of various shapes. In one embodiment, the first rear cover (240) may be formed integrally with the first housing (210), and the second rear cover (250) may be formed integrally with the second housing (220).

[0063] According to one embodiment, the first rear cover (240), the second rear cover (250), the first housing (210), and the second housing (220) may form a space in which various components of the electronic device (101) (e.g., printed circuit boards (216, 226) of FIG. 4, or batteries (215, 225)) may be placed. According to one embodiment, one or more components may be placed or visually exposed on the rear of the electronic device (101). For example, at least a portion of the second display (239) may be visually exposed through the first rear cover (240). In one embodiment, one or more components or sensors may be visually exposed through the first rear cover (240). In various embodiments, the components or sensors may include a proximity sensor, a rear camera, and / or a flash. Additionally, although not separately illustrated in the drawings, one or more components or sensors may be visually exposed through the second rear cover (250).

[0064] According to one embodiment, a front camera device (251) exposed on the front of the electronic device (101) through one or more openings or a rear camera device (253) exposed through a first rear cover (240) may include one or more lenses, an image sensor, and / or an image signal processor. A flash (not shown) may include, for example, a light-emitting diode or a xenon lamp. In some embodiments, two or more lenses (infrared camera, wide-angle and telephoto lenses) and image sensors may be disposed on one side of the electronic device (101).

[0065] According to one embodiment, the foldable housing (210, 220, 260) may include a hinge cover (260), a first housing (210), and a second housing (220). The first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be rotated about a hinge structure (270). When the electronic device (101) moves from an unfolded state to a folded state, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be rotated about the hinge structure (270) so as to move closer to each other. When the electronic device (101) moves from a folded state to an unfolded state, a part of the first housing (210) and a part of the second housing (220) may be rotated about the hinge cover (260) so as to move away from each other. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the folding direction of the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) may include the direction in which the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) are rotated with respect to the hinge structure (270) when the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) are transitioned from an unfolded state to a folded state. The unfolding direction of the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) may include the direction in which the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) are rotated with respect to the hinge structure (270) when the first housing (210) and / or the second housing (220) are transitioned from a folded state to an unfolded state.

[0066] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can be varied between a folded state and an unfolded state in which the first display (230) is folded. For example, the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) can rotate about a folding axis (A) between a folded state in which the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) of the first display (230) face each other, and an unfolded state in which the first housing (210) is unfolded by a specified angle from the folded state (e.g., the unfolded state of the electronic device (101) shown in FIG. 2).

[0067] According to one embodiment, as the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) rotate about a folding axis (A), the electronic device (101) may include a folded state and an unfolded state. The folded state may be a state in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) face each other, and the angle formed by the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be less than a predetermined angle (e.g., 10 degrees). The unfolded state may be a state in which the electronic device (101) is fully unfolded or partially unfolded, and the angle formed by the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) may be greater than the predetermined angle.

[0068] FIG. 2 illustrates an unfolded state of an electronic device (101) in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) form an angle of approximately 180°. FIG. 3 illustrates a folded state of an electronic device (101) in which the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) face each other and are parallel. In the folded state, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) of the first display (230) can be positioned to face each other, and the folding region (231c) can be bent.

[0069] According to one embodiment, the folding of the electronic device (101) can be implemented in two ways: 'in-folding,' where the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) are folded to face each other, and 'out-folding,' where the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) are folded to face opposite directions. For example, in the folded state in the in-folding manner, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be substantially concealed, and in the fully unfolded state, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be positioned to face substantially the same direction. For example, when folded in an out-folding manner, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be positioned to face opposite directions and exposed to the outside, and when fully unfolded, the first region (231a) and the second region (231b) may be positioned to face substantially the same direction.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the first display (230) may include a display panel and a window member, at least a portion of which may be formed flexibly. Although not otherwise illustrated, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the first display (230) or the display panel may include various layer(s), such as a light-emitting layer, a substrate(s) encapsulating the light-emitting layer, an electrode or wiring layer, and / or an adhesive layer(s) bonding adjacent different layers. When the first display (230) (e.g., a folding region (231c)) is deformed into a flat shape and a curved shape, relative displacement may occur between the layers forming the first display (230). The relative displacement resulting from the deformation of the first display (230) may increase as the point is further from the folding axis (A) and / or as the thickness of the first display (230) increases.

[0071] According to one embodiment, a window member, for example, a thin film plate, can serve as a protective film for protecting a display panel. As a protective film, the thin film plate may use a material that protects the display panel from external impacts, is resistant to scratches, and causes fewer wrinkles in the folding area (231c) even during repeated folding and unfolding operations of the housings (210, 220). For example, the material of the thin film plate may include a clear polyimide film (CPI) or ultra-thin glass (UTG).

[0072] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may further include a protective member (206)(s) or a decorative cover (218, 228)(s) disposed on at least a portion of the edge of the first display (230) on the front (e.g., the first side (210a) or the third side (220a)). As an example, the protective member (206) and the decorative cover (218, 228) may be connected to each other to surround the edge of the first display (230). The protective member (206) or the decorative cover (218, 228) may prevent at least a portion of the edge of the first display (230) from coming into contact with a mechanical structure (e.g., the first housing (210) or the second housing (220)). The protective member (206) or the decorative cover (218, 228) may be visually exposed to the outside of the electronic device (101).

[0073] According to one embodiment, the decorative covers (218, 228) and the protective member (206) may be connected to each other. As an example, the decorative covers (218, 228) and the protective member (206) may be formed integrally. The decorative covers (218, 228) may extend along the folding axis (A). The decorative covers (218, 228) may include a first decorative cover (218) disposed between a portion of the edge of the first region (231a) of the first display (230) and the inner wall of the first housing (210). The decorative covers (218, 228) may include a second decorative cover (228) disposed between a portion of the edge of the second region (231b) of the first display (230) and the inner wall of the second housing (220). As an example, the first decorative cover (218) and the second decorative cover (228) can be extended substantially parallel along the folding axis (A).

[0074] According to one embodiment, a speaker hole (245) may be formed in a decorative cover (218) or protective member (206) interposed between the edge of the first region (231a) of the first display (230) and the inner wall of the first housing (210). As an example, the speaker hole (245) may be formed in the first decorative cover (218).
