1. An electronic device comprising:
a flexible display capable of changing a size of a display region exposed to an outside of the electronic device; and
a processor operatively connected to the flexible display,
wherein the processor is configured to:
output a first image frame in the flexible display,
detect a signal for changing a size of the display region, at a first time point,
predict a size of the display region at a second time point after a predetermined time from the first time point,
form a second image frame corresponding to the predicted size of the display region, and
determine one of the first image frame or second image frame as a current image frame to be displayed in the flexible display at a current time point which is a time point between the first time point and the second time point, based on a size of the flexible display at the current time point, a size of the first image frame, and a size of the second image frame.
