1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing, including a first edge oriented in a first direction and a second edge oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing to be rotatable relative to the first housing,
wherein the second housing includes a third edge corresponding to the first edge and a fourth edge corresponding to the second edge when the first housing and the second housing face each other, and
the fourth edge includes a first conductive portion, a first non-conductive portion, a second conductive portion, a second non-conductive portion, and a third conductive portion;
a flexible display defining a front surface of the electronic device and disposed over the first housing and the second housing;
a dielectric material at least partially disposed between the flexible display and the fourth edge and at least partially surrounding a perimeter of the flexible display;
a conductive member comprising a conductive material located between the dielectric material and the flexible display; and
a wireless communication circuit disposed within the first housing or the second housing,
wherein the conductive member includes a first split portion and a second split portion corresponding to the first non-conductive portion and the second non-conductive portion of the fourth edge of the second housing, respectively, and
the wireless communication circuit is configured to transmit and/or receive a radio signal using at least one of the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion, or the third conductive portion of the second housing.
