a housing including a first housing and a second housing configured to guide sliding movement of the first housing, while the housing is being opened and closed;
a flexible display including a first display area and a second display area extending from the first display area;
a battery;
a motor configured to provide a driving force for the sliding movement of the first housing in a first movement direction and a second movement direction;
a gear structure including a pinion gear connected to the motor and a rack gear engaged with the pinion gear, the pinion gear configured to be rotated by the driving force from the motor, wherein the pinion gear and/or the motor slidably move on the rack gear in the first movement direction and the second movement direction; and
an elastic member comprising a material arranged to be compressible and configured to be deformed based on the sliding movement of the first housing,
wherein the elastic member is configured to provide an elastic restoring force as a force for the sliding movement of the first housing in the first movement direction and the second movement direction to reduce the driving force of the motor required while the housing is being opened and closed,
wherein the gear structure is disposed adjacent to one end of the battery, and
wherein the elastic member is disposed adjacent to the other end of the battery facing a direction opposite to the one end of the battery.
