Abstract
A display apparatus that comprises a display screen and a set of support portions, is provided. The display apparatus receives a user input that corresponds to a configuration of the display screen and controls motion of the set of support portions based on the received user input. A change in a surface curvature of the display screen is based on the motion of the set of support portions.
Claims22
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a set of support portions;
- a display screen coupled to the set of support portions;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- receive a user input that corresponds to selection of a configuration setting of a plurality of configuration settings of the display screen;
- determine a surface curvature of the display screen from a plurality of different surface curvatures based on the selected configuration setting, wherein the plurality of configuration settings includes a plurality of viewing modes, and the plurality of viewing modes corresponds to the plurality of different surface curvatures;
- control motion of the set of support portions based on the determined surface curvature of the display screen;
- and
- control a change in the surface curvature of the display screen to the determined surface curvature based on the motion of the set of support portions.
