Abstract
A flexible display apparatus configured to sense deformation of the flexible display apparatus, control display of an object displayed on the flexible display apparatus based on the deformation, and execute operations based on the displayed object.
Claims18
A flexible display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display;
- a sensor configured to sense a deformation of the flexible display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the flexible display to display a first object in a first location and a second object in a second location on the flexible display, wherein the flexible display is flat,
- based on the deformation of the flexible display, control the flexible display to move the first object displayed in the first location to the second location while the second object is maintained in the second location, and
- based on the first object moving to the second location, execute a function associated with the second object displayed in the second location,
- wherein the first object is moved along a line perpendicular to a bending line on the flexible display, and
- wherein the bending line is a line which connects points at which a greatest resistance value is sensed by the sensor.

A method of displaying information on a flexible display apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying a first object in a first location and a second object in a second location on a flexible display of the flexible display apparatus, wherein the flexible display is flat;
- sensing deformation of the flexible display;
- based on the deformation of the flexible display, moving the first object displayed in the first location to the second location on the flexible display, while the second object maintained in the second location;
- and
- based on the first object moving to the second location, executing a function associated with the second object displayed in the second location,
- wherein the first object is moved along a line perpendicular to a bending line on the flexible display, and
- wherein the bending line is a line which connects points at which a greatest resistance value is sensed.

A flexible display apparatus comprising:
- a flexible display;
- a sensor configured to sense a deformation of the flexible display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control the flexible display to display a first object in a first location and a second object in a second location on the flexible display, wherein the flexible display is flat,
- determine a direction of movement of the first object and an amount of the movement of the first object based on the deformation,
- based on the direction of movement of the first object and the amount of the movement of the first object, determine a location of the first object on the flexible display at which the first object is to be displayed, control the flexible display to move the first object displayed in the first location to the second location according to determination of the location while the second object is maintained in the second location, and
- based on the first object moving to the second location, execute a function associated with the second object displayed in the second location,
- wherein the first object is moved along a line perpendicular to a bending line on the flexible display, and
- wherein the bending line is a line which connects points at which a greatest resistance value is sensed by the sensor.
