The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a mobile terminal allowing a user to conveniently determine execution screens of at least two applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and layouts therefor; and a method for controlling same. Provided according to an aspect of the present invention is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display region viewed from the front of the body can vary depending on switching between an extended display mode and a retracted display mode; and a control unit for performing control such that, in response to switching from the retracted display mode to the extended display mode, multiple layout indicators for multiple application execution screens are displayed or multiple application icons are displayed.

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes at least one housing which may have a plurality of states, at least one display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is set to display a first execution screen of at least one application on a first display area of the at least one display when the at least one housing is in a first state, wherein the first display area corresponds to the first state, identify the transition of the at least one housing from the first state to a second state, display a first screen, which includes at least one graphic object, on the second display area when a first condition is satisfied, wherein the first screen is displayed on the basis of the transition of the at least one housing from the first state to the second state, and display a second execution screen of a first application on at least a portion of the second display region in response to a first input to a first graphic object, corresponding to the first application, among the one or more graphic objects.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for use with expandable displays. In some implementations management techniques and/or systems are provided that allow for access to expandable display functionality to be managed to as to potentially prolong device battery life. In other or additional implementations, techniques and/or systems are provided for potentially safeguarding devices with expandable displays from damage in the event of a fall or drop event. In yet other or additional implementations, techniques and/or systems are provided for determining the expansion state of an expandable display, thereby allowing corrective measures to be taken if the actual expansion state of the expandable display does not align with the expected expansion state of the expandable display.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display configured to display a screen on at least a portion of a display region, a sensor configured to detect an expansion or reduction of the display region, and a processor operatively connected to the display. The processor is configured to receive user input related to the screen displayed on the at least the portion of the display region, identify an expansion of the display region through the sensor, and display an input user interface (UI), including a UI component determined on the basis of the user input, on at least a portion of the expanded display region in response to the reception of the user input and the identification of the expansion of the display region.

An electronic device according to an embodiment comprises: at least one sensor; a flexible display having at least a part visible to the outside; a driving circuit configured to roll out or roll in the flexible display; and at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one sensor, the flexible display and the driving circuit, wherein the at least one processor can be configured to: confirm the occurrence of an event based on a sensor value of the at least one sensor; confirm a state of the flexible display; confirm whether the flexible display is roll out or roll in and the sliding speed of the flexible display based on the occurrence of an event and the state of the flexible display; and control the driving circuit so that the flexible display is rolled out or rolled in at the sliding speed, based on the rolling out or the rolling in of the flexible display being determined.

A camera module having a first housing including an image sensor converting an optical signal into an electrical signal, and a second housing including an imaging optical system focusing the optical signal on the image sensor and a first optical path conversion member disposed on an object-side surface of the imaging optical system and converting an optical path, and carried into or carried out of the first housing in a state of being coupled to the first housing.
