Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, a hinge structure configured to connect the first housing and the second housing, and a foldable display module. The hinge structure includes a rotating shaft, a first idle gear, a second idle gear, a first gear, a second gear, a first pressing member configured to move the first gear toward the second gear, and a first interconnecting structure formed between the first gear and the second gear to enable the first gear to engage with the second gear, the first interconnecting structure being formed between the first gear and the second gear such that, as first pressing member moves the first gear toward the second gear, the first gear and the second gear receive with rotational forces in opposite directions.

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.
