Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include: a first housing; a second housing; a hinge module rotatably connecting the first housing and the second housing; a flexible display disposed to reach one surface of the second housing from one surface of the first housing across an area in which the hinge module is disposed; and a multi-bar assembly disposed between the first housing and the second housing, configured to be variable in response to rotational movement of the module, and supporting a bending area of the flexible display. The multi-bar assembly may include: a first bar and a second bar arranged side by side, each of the first bar and second bar forming at least one guide recess disposed at positions corresponding to each other; a first bar support bracket disposed under the first bar and including a first rail forming a curved shape and a first rail guide corresponding to the shape of the first rail; and a second bar support bracket disposed under the second bar and including a second rail forming a curved shape and a second rail guide corresponding to the shape of the second rail, the second bar support bracket being coupled to be rotatable and slidable with respect to the first bar support bracket. The first rail forming on the first bar support bracket may be configured to perform sliding movement along the second rail guide of the second support bracket located adjacent thereto, and at least a portion of the first rail may be insertable into the guide recess in the second bar through the sliding movement.
