     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     The disclosure relates to an electronic device comprising an electronic component arrangement structure. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     Electronic devices are gradually becoming slimmer, rigidity is increased, design aspects are being strengthened, and at the same time, functional elements thereof are being developed to be differentiated. Electronic devices are being transformed gradually from a uniform rectangular shape into a variety of shapes. An electronic device may have a transformable structure capable of using a large-screen display while being convenient to carry. For example, as a part of a transformable structure, an electronic device may have a structure (e.g., a rollable structure or a slidable structure) capable of changing a display area of a flexible display via support of housings which operate in a sliding manner with respect to each other. Such an electronic device may include an arrangement structure of electronic components in consideration of a coupling structure of housings operating in a sliding manner. 
     The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure. 
     SUMMARY 
     An electronic device may include a transformable slidable electronic device (e.g., a rollable electronic device) capable of extending a display area thereof. A slidable electronic device may include a first housing (e.g., a first housing structure, a base housing, a base bracket, or a base structure) and a second housing (e.g., a second housing structure, a slide housing, a slide bracket, or a slide structure) which may be movably coupled to each other in a manner in which the first housing and the second housing area at least partially fitted together. For example, the first housing and the second housing may operate slidably with respect to each other, support at least a portion of a flexible display (or an expandable display), and thus in a slide-in state, may lead the flexible display to have a first display area, and in a slide-out state, may lead the flexible display to have a second display area greater than the first display area. 
     A slidable electronic device may include a plurality of electronic components arranged in an inner space. Such electronic components require different mounting spaces, and thus there may be a difficulty in arranging the electronic components in the inner spaces of the housings operating slidably with respect to each other. Electronic components performing functions by corresponding to the outside may be arranged at positions corresponding to at least one opening arranged in the housings in the inner space of the electronic device. 
     In inner spaces of housings having a sliding operation structure, a space for arranging such electronic components may be insufficient, or interference with other electronic components may occur. In addition, when an opening corresponding to an electronic component which is not frequently used has an arrangement structure in which the opening is always exposed to the outside of an electronic device, the aesthetics of the electronic device may be deteriorated. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the disclosure is to provide an electronic device including an arrangement structure of electronic components. 
     Another aspect of the disclosure is to provide an electronic device including an efficient arrangement structure of electronic components may be provided to minimize interference with other electronic components. 
     Another aspect of the disclosure is to provide an electronic device including an arrangement structure of electronic components, which may help to improve the aesthetics of an electronic device, may be provided. 
     Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments. 
     In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing including a first space configured by a first side surface member including a first side surface, a second side surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the first side surface, and a third side surface extending from the second side surface in a direction parallel to the first side surface, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing along a first direction and including a second space, a bendable member connected to the first housing, at least partially accommodated in the second space in a slide-in state and at least partially forming the same plane with the first housing in a slide-out state, a flexible display including a first portion disposed to be visible from an outside in the slide-in state and a second portion extending from the first portion accommodated in the second space via the bendable member to least partially prevent the second portion from being viewed from the outside, and a component assembly including at least two electronic components and disposed in the first space so as to correspond to the outside through an opening extending through at least a portion of the first housing, wherein the opening may be covered via at least a portion of the second housing in the slide-in state, and the first side surface and the third side surface may be accommodated in the second space to prevent the first side surface and the third side surface from being viewed from the outside in the slide-in state. 
     According to embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may provide an efficient component mounting space because at least two electronic components are arranged in a stacked manner to reduce interference with other electronic components in the inner space of a housing, and a portion of the electronic device may be covered so as to prevent the portion from being viewed from the outside in a slide-in state, thereby helping to improve the aesthetics of the electronic device. 
     Other aspects, advantages, and salient features of the disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses various embodiments of the disclosure.

     Referring to  FIG.  1   , an electronic device  101  in a network environment  100  may communicate with an electronic device  102  via a first network  198  (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or at least one of an electronic device  104  or a server  108  via a second network  199  (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). According to an embodiment, the electronic device  101  may communicate with the electronic device  104  via the server  108 . According to another embodiment, the electronic device  101  may include a processor  120 , memory  130 , an input module  150 , a sound output module  155 , a display module  160 , an audio module  170 , a sensor module  176 , an interface  177 , a connecting terminal  178 , a haptic module  179 , a camera module  180 , a power management module  188 , a battery  189 , a communication module  190 , a subscriber identification module (SIM)  196 , or an antenna module  197 .

     The communication module  190  may be configured to support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device  101  and the external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device  102 , the electronic device  104 , or the server  108 ) and performing communication via the established communication channel. In an embodiment, the communication module  190  may include one or more communication processors that are operable independently from the processor  120  (e.g., the application processor (AP)) and supports a direct (e.g., wired) communication or a wireless communication. According to another embodiment, the communication module  190  may include a wireless communication module  192  (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module  194  (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules may communicate with the external electronic device via the first network  198  (e.g., a short-range communication network, such as BLUETOOTH, wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or the second network  199  (e.g., a long-range communication network, such as a legacy cellular network, a fifth generation (5G) network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or wide area network (WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multi components (e.g., multi chips) separate from each other. The wireless communication module  192  may identify and authenticate the electronic device  101  in a communication network, such as the first network  198  or the second network  199 , using subscriber information (e.g., international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module  196 .

     At least some of the above-described components may be coupled mutually and communicate signals (e.g., commands or data) therebetween via an inter-peripheral communication scheme (e.g., a bus, general purpose input and output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), and the like). 
     According to an embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device  101  and the external electronic device  104  via the server  108  coupled with the second network  199 . Each of the electronic devices  102  or  104  may be a device of a same type as, or a different type, from the electronic device  101 . According to another embodiment, all or some of operations to be executed at the electronic device  101  may be executed at one or more of the external electronic devices  102 ,  104 , or  108 . For example, if the electronic device  101  should perform a function or a service automatically, or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device  101 , instead of, or in addition to, executing the function or the service, may request the one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of the function or the service. The one or more external electronic devices receiving the request may perform the at least part of the function or the service requested, or an additional function or an additional service related to the request, and transfer an outcome of the performing to the electronic device  101 . In yet another embodiment, the electronic device  101  may provide the outcome, with or without further processing of the outcome, as at least part of a reply to the request. To that end, a cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example.

In an embodiment, the sliding distance S may be determined according to the width W4 of the slide plate  262 . For example, as the width W4 of the slide plate  262  may become greater, so the sliding distance S may become smaller, and as the width W4 of the slide plate  262  may become smaller, so the sliding distance S may become greater. In another embodiment, the sliding distance S may be determined according to the coupling positions at which one end  2611  of the torsion spring  261  and the other end  2612  thereof are coupled to the first support member  212  and the second support member  222 , respectively.
