    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device which employs a flexible display and, even when a housing is changed in size or shape, can keep an antenna at the same characteristic. The electronic device may comprise: a first side surface member, on one surface of which a plurality of conductive parts and at least one first non-conductive part disposed between the plurality of conductive parts are arranged; a second side surface member movable toward the one side of the first side surface member; a flexible display, the width of the exposed portion of which can be adjusted on the basis of the movement of the second side surface member; and a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to at least one of the plurality of conductive parts and configured to transmit or receive an RF signal, wherein the second side surface member comprises a sliding cover surface disposed to face the one surface of the first side surface member, and the sliding cover surface has at least one second non-conductive part formed on a portion thereof facing the first non-conductive part, when the overlap between the second side surface member and the first side surface member is largest, and the sliding cover surface is formed not to face the first non-conductive part when the overlap between the second side surface member and the first side surface member is smallest or there is no overlap therebetween. Various other embodiments of the present invention may be additionally provided.
