Claim 10:
11. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing movable with respect to the first housing;
a flexible display disposed on the first housing and drawn into an inner space formed by the first housing and the second housing at a first edge of the first housing, wherein the flexible display including:
a glass forming the front surface of the electronic device;
a pixel layer disposed under the glass and including a plurality of pixels; and
a cover layer disposed below the pixel layer;

a circuit board disposed under the flexible display;
an optical sensor disposed between the circuit board and the flexible display and including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit; and
at least one partition disposed between the optical sensor and the cover layer,
wherein the optical sensor is disposed corresponding to a first position of the flexible display when the flexible display has a first length in a direction perpendicular to the first edge, wherein the optical sensor is disposed corresponding to a second position of the flexible display when the flexible display has a second length longer than the first length in a direction perpendicular to the first edge as the second housing moves relative to the first housing, and
wherein the at least one partition is disposed between the light emitter and the light receiver when the optical sensor is in the first position and when the optical sensor is in the second position.
