The display screen includes a corner and first, second, and third display areas. The first display area is the outermost display area and the third display area is the innermost. The first display area displays a first color, and the third display area displays a second color. The processor can set the color of the middle display area (the second display area) according to the first color and the second color. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device comprising: a display screen comprising a corner, a non-display area, a first display area, a second display area, and a third display area, wherein the corner is formed by at least two intersecting edges of the display screen, the second display area connects between the at least two intersecting edges, the first display area is located between the non-display area and the second display area, and the third display area is adjacent to one side of the second display area away from the non-display area, the second display area is located between the first display area and the third display area, the second display area is adjacent to both of the first display area and the third display area, the first display area displays a first color, and the third display area displays a second color; a storage device; and at least one processor, wherein the storage device stores one or more programs that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to set the color of the second display area according to the first color and the second color, and change a shape of the second display area when the electronic device switches between operation modes, wherein the operation mode comprises executing applications of the electronic device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the corner is non-arc-shaped. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first color is the same as a color of the non-display area. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the second display area is arc-shaped. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the color of the second display area is the same as the first color, or the second color, or a medium color between the first color and the second color. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the second color changes when the electronic device switches between the operation modes. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein when the electronic device switches between the operation modes, the least one processor further changes a display color of the first display area to colors of extensions of display contents on the third display area. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the corner is formed by at least two intersecting straight edges of the display screen, or formed by an intersection of a straight edge and an arc edge of the display screen. ### Claim 9 A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to perform a method for display controlling, the electronic device comprising a display screen and a non-display area, wherein the display screen comprising a corner, a non-display area, a first display area, a second display area, and a third display area; wherein the corner is formed by at least two intersecting edges of the display screen, the second display area connects between the at least two intersecting edges, the first display area is located between the non-display area and the second display area, and the third display area is adjacent to one side of the second display area away from the non-display area, the second display area is located between the first display area and the third display area, the second display area is adjacent to both of the first display area and the third display area, the first display area displays a first color, and the third display area displays a second color; wherein the method comprises: setting the first color of the first display area of the display screen the same as the color of the non-display area; acquiring the second color of the third display area of the display screen; setting the color of the second display area according to the first color and the second color; and changing a shape of the second display area when the electronic device switches between operation modes, wherein the operation mode comprises executing applications of the electronic device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the corner is non-arc-shaped. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the second display area is arc-shaped. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the second color changes when the electronic device switches between the operation modes. ### Claim 13 A display controlling method applied in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a display screen, a non-display area, wherein the display screen comprising a corner, a non-display area, a first display area, a second display area, and a third display area, wherein the corner is formed by at least two intersecting edges of the display screen, the second display area connects between the at least two intersecting edges, the first display area is located between the non-display area and the second display area, and the third display area is adjacent to one side of the second display area away from the non-display area, the second display area is located between the first display area and the third display area, the second display area is adjacent to both of the first display area and the third display area, the first display area displays a first color, and the third display area displays a second color;
