Display device and method for controlling the same

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel comprising a display module and a touch module, the display panel having a first display area, a second display area and a first bending area located at a junction between the first display area and the second display area, the display panel being capable of being bent at the first bending area;
• a data driving unit configured to control portions of the display module located in the first display area and the second display area to display;
• a touch driving unit configured to control touch electrode groups of the touch module located in the first display area and the second display area;
• and
• a bendable circuit board having a second bending area, an orthographic projection of the second bending area on the display panel being overlapped with the first bending area during the display device being bent,
• wherein the bendable circuit board is connected with the data driving unit and the touch driving unit respectively, and transmits a data signal in any of the first display area and the second display area to the data driving unit and transmits a touch signal in any of the first display area and the second display area to the touch driving unit.
