1. An electronic device comprising:
a flexible display;
a first rolling actuator configured to extend the flexible display in a first direction;
a second rolling actuator configured to extend the flexible display in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and
at least one processor electrically connected to the flexible display, the first rolling actuator, and the second rolling actuator,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a mounting state of the electronic device;
based on the mounting state satisfying a designated condition, acquire position information of a peripheral device linked with the electronic device;
determine an extension direction of the flexible display based on the position information of the peripheral device; and
control the first rolling actuator and/or the second rolling actuator to extend the flexible display in the first direction or the second direction based on the determined extension direction.
