Abstract: According to one aspect of the disclosure an electronic device comprises a foldable housing including: a hinge structure, a first housing structure connected to the hinge structure, and including a first face and a second face opposite the first face, and a second housing structure connected to the hinge structure and including a third face and a fourth face opposite the third face, the second housing structure being configured to be rotated about the hinge structure; a flexible display extending over the first face and over the third face; at least one sensor disposed within the foldable housing, and configured to sense an angle formed between the first face and the third face; a first haptic actuator disposed within the first housing structure; a second haptic actuator disposed within the second housing structure; at least one processor disposed within the first housing structure or the second housing structure, and operatively connected to the flexible display, the at least one sensor, the first haptic actuator, and the second haptic actuator. The at least one processor may detect a folding state of the foldable housing using the at least one sensor, and independently control the first haptic actuator and the second haptic actuator based on at least part of the detected folding state.

Abstract: An electronic device including an indicator is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing structure including a first face oriented in a first direction, a second face oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, and a first side member at least partially surrounding a space between the first face and the second face, a second housing structure including a third face oriented in a third direction, a fourth face oriented in a fourth direction opposite the third direction, and a second side member at least partially surrounding a space between the third face and the fourth face, a hinge structure rotatably connecting the first housing structure and the second housing structure to each other, the hinge structure configured to provide a folding axis that is a rotating center of the first housing structure and the second housing structure, a flexible display extending from the first face to the third face across the hinge structure, a hinge case disposed between the first housing structure and the second housing structure to accommodate the hinge structure therein to conceal or protect the hinge structure, and one or more first light-emitting elements disposed on an outer face of the hinge case. The electronic device may be configured to transmit light emitted from the one or more first light-emitting elements to outside of the electronic device.
