METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18093125 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

Abstract Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can be expanded or reduced using a rolling actuator. The device also includes wireless communication capabilities and a processor. When the device receives a message from an external device, the processor drives the rolling actuator to expand the flexible display in a specific direction. The expanded region of the display then shows a user interface with various content.

  • An electronic device with a flexible display is provided.
  • The device has a rolling actuator that can expand or reduce the flexible display.
  • It also includes a wireless communication circuit and a processor.
  • The processor can receive messages from external devices via wireless communication.
  • In response to receiving a message, the processor drives the rolling actuator to expand the flexible display in a specific direction.
  • The expanded region of the display shows a user interface with multiple content.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones with expandable screens for enhanced viewing experience.
  • Tablets or e-readers with flexible displays that can be adjusted for different reading preferences.
  • Smartwatches with expandable screens for better visibility of notifications and information.
  • Foldable laptops or portable devices with flexible displays that can be expanded for larger workspace.

Problems Solved

  • Limited screen size on electronic devices can restrict content visibility and user experience.
  • Inflexible displays can make it difficult to adjust the screen size according to user preferences.
  • Small screens on wearable devices can limit the amount of information that can be displayed.
  • Portable devices with fixed screen sizes may not provide enough workspace for certain tasks.

Benefits

  • Enhanced viewing experience with the ability to expand the screen size.
  • Flexibility in adjusting the display size based on user preferences.
  • Improved visibility of content on wearable devices with limited screen space.
  • Increased workspace on portable devices for better productivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided, which can include a flexible display, a rolling actuator for expanding or reducing the flexible display, a wireless communication circuit, and a processor. The processor can receive, via the wireless communication circuit, a message from an external device, and in response to receiving the message, drive the first rolling actuator, expand the flexible display by a first length in a first direction, and display a first UI including a plurality of content, in a first region of the flexible display expanded by the first length.
