Electronic device having bended display and method for controlling the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• and
• at least one display driver chip (DDI) to drive the display,
• wherein the display includes a transparent window enclosing a front and at least a portion of a lateral side of the electronic device, a three-dimensional film of a shape corresponding to the shape of the transparent window, and a flexible panel including a front display area, four side display areas and four corner non-display areas, wherein the three-dimensional film is laminated on the transparent window and the flexible panel is laminated on the transparent window, such that the three-dimensional film is disposed between the transparent window and the flexible panel,
• wherein the four side display areas are physically extended from the front display area, each side display area forming a convex curved side surface of the electronic device, wherein each of the corner non-display areas physically connects adjacent two side display areas among the four side display areas and forms a convex double curvature corner surface disposed entirely within a space extending partially between the front and a rear of the electronic device,
• wherein each of the corner non-display areas comprises a portion that extends to a curved corner portion of the front display area,
• wherein each of the corner non-display areas comprises an opaque mechanism,
• wherein the adjacent two side display areas among the four side display areas are bent in directions and form at least one of an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle, and
• wherein the front display area is connected with one of the four side display areas and a physically separate space separate from the four corner non-display areas is included therebetween,
• wherein at least one of a speaker, a microphone, a camera, and a sensor is disposed at a position corresponding to the physically separate space.

A method for an electronic device including a display including a transparent window enclosing a front and at least a portion of a lateral side of the electronic device, a three-dimensional film of a shape corresponding to the shape of the transparent window, and a flexible panel, the flexible panel including a front display area, four side display areas, and four corner non-display areas to control the front display area and the four side display areas, the method comprising:

• receiving an input for setting a display mode;
• and
• controlling each display area to display specific content according to the display mode set by the received input,
• wherein one display mode includes a stereoscopic effect mode, the stereoscopic effect mode including three-dimensionally displaying an object by displaying on the front display area a piece of content containing the object, and displaying, on the four side display areas, side portions of the object displayed in the front display area to create a representation of at least one of a depth, a thickness, or a texture of the object,
• wherein the three-dimensional film is laminated on the transparent window and the flexible panel is laminated on the transparent window, such that the three-dimensional film is disposed between the transparent window and the flexible panel,
• wherein the four side display areas are physically extended from the front display area, each side display area forming a convex curved side surface of the electronic device, wherein each of the corner non-display areas physically connects adjacent two side display areas among the four side display areas and forms a convex double curvature corner surface disposed entirely within a space extending partially between the front and a rear of the electronic device,
• wherein each of the corner non-display areas comprises a portion that extends to a curved corner portion of the front display area,
• wherein each of the corner non-display areas comprises an opaque mechanism, and
• wherein the front display area is connected with one of the four side display areas and a physically separate space separate from the four corner non-display areas is included therebetween, wherein at least one of a speaker, a microphone, a camera, and a sensor is disposed at a position corresponding to the physically separate space.
