Abstract: An electronic device includes a case including a rear member and side members, a first structure disposed inside the case, a second structure connected with the first structure so as to slide relative to the first structure, a display that is disposed on the second structure, the display including a first region and a second region, and a conductive structure that is disposed between the first structure and the second structure and that electrically connects the first structure and the second structure, wherein a first state of the electronic device is a state in which the first region is exposed on a front surface of the electronic device and the second region is located inside the case to face the rear member, and wherein a second state of the electronic device is a state in which at least part of the second region, together with the first region, is exposed on the front surface of the electronic device. The conductive structure includes a first contact member disposed on one of the first structure or the second structure and a second contact member and a third contact member disposed on the first structure or the second structure which the first contact member is not disposed on, wherein the second contact member and the third contact member are spaced apart from each other by a first distance in a sliding direction of the second structure, wherein the first contact member is configured to make contact with the second contact member in the first state to electrically connect the first structure and the second structure and is configured to make contact with the third contact member in the second state to electrically connect the first structure and the second structure, and wherein the second structure is configured to slide relative to the first structure by the first distance when the electronic device is changed from the first state to the second state or from the second state to the first state.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided that includes a housing and a flexible display including a bendable section that may be extracted from an inner space of the housing. The electronic device also includes a support member positioned at least partially in the inner space of the housing and including a first surface facing the bendable section with a separation distance therebetween, and a dielectric disposed in the first surface while facing the bendable section and electrically connected to a ground. The electronic device also includes a sensor integrated circuit (IC) electrically connected to a touch sensing circuit included in the flexible display and configured to detect capacitance of a touch area facing the dielectric in the touch sensing circuit.
