1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing including a first housing and a second housing;
a hinge unit configured to rotate the first housing and the second housing, the housing configured to move between a folded state and an unfolded state via the hinge unit;
a first display disposed in a first area of the first housing and a second area of the second housing;
a second display disposed in a third area of the first housing, located at an opposite side of the first area;
at least one sensor;
a memory configured to store an image frame set including a plurality of image frames including images of for visually showing dynamic changes with respect to an object; and
at least one processor;
wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
obtain, via the at least one sensor, information corresponding to a folding angle between the first housing and the second housing,
based on the obtained information corresponding to a first folding angle smaller than a first reference angle, control to deactivate the first display and control to display, via the second display, at least one image frame included in the plurality of image frames to visually show the object corresponding to the image frame set,
based on the obtained information corresponding to a second folding angle greater than the first reference angle, control to deactivate the second display and control to activate the first display, and
based on the obtained information corresponding to a folding angle increasing from the second folding angle to a third folding angle, control to display, via the first display, image frames of the image frame set to visually show dynamic changes with respect to the object, as a continuation of the object displayed on the second display, corresponding to a plurality of folding angles between the second folding angle to the third folding angle.
