METHOD FOR DISPLAYING BACKGROUND IMAGE THROUGH FLEXIBLE DISPLAY, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18502626 titled 'METHOD FOR DISPLAYING BACKGROUND IMAGE THROUGH FLEXIBLE DISPLAY, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
- An electronic device with a flexible display is described.
- The display is divided into a first face and a second face with respect to a folding axis.
- At least one processor is coupled to the display.
- The processor is able to display main content through a first area of the display.
- It can detect folding of the display while the main content is displayed.
- The processor can display the main content through a second area smaller than the first area, based on the folding angle of the display and the positional relationship between the device and the user.
- Background content is displayed in a third area, which is an area excluding the second area.
- The background content is an image that fills the margin produced by displaying the main content in the second area.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a flexible display divided into a first face and a second face with respect to a folding axis, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the display. The at least one processor is configured to display main content through a first area of the display, detect folding of the display while the main content is displayed, display the main content through a second area smaller than the first area, based on a folding angle of the display and a positional relationship between the electronic device and a user, and display background content in a third area which is an area excluding the second area. The background content is an image for filling a margin produced by displaying the main content in the second area.
