    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing including an inner space; a slide structure including a reciprocating slide configured to be slidable from the housing by a predetermined reciprocating distance along a first direction; a flexible display at least partially supported by the slide structure and configured to be received in the inner space to be at least partially invisible from the outside in a slide-in state of the electronic device; and a first friction reducing structure disposed between the housing and the slide structure. The first friction reducing structure may include: a guide slit disposed in the housing in a direction parallel to the first direction and having a predetermined length; a guide protrusion configured to be guided by the guide slit in the slide structure; at least one first magnet disposed on the guide slit; and at least one second magnet disposed on the guide protrusion at a position affected by the magnetic force of the first magnet. The at least one first magnet and the at least one second magnet may be arranged to have identical polarities at least partially facing each other along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include a first housing, a second housing, a flexible display, a bendable member, and a bending plate. The second housing may slide in a first housing to cause at least a part of the second housing to be drawn out of the first housing in an open state, and may slide in a second direction to cause the at least a part of the second housing to enter the first housing in a closed state. The flexible display may be disposed in a space formed by the first housing and the second housing, and may include a first area visible to an outside, and a second area extending from the first area, accommodated inside the flexible display in a closed state, and visible to the outside in an open state. The bendable member may be disposed on a rear side of the flexible display to support the flexible display in the closed state and in the open state, and may include a plurality of multi-bars disposed at predetermined intervals. The bending plate may be attached to the flexible display and the plurality of multi-bars.
