Abstract
An electronic device may include: a flexible display; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: identify the folding angle of the electronic device; identify the displacement of a printed layer of the flexible display according to the identified folding angle; generate a virtual dead space region to substantially abut a portion of the boundary of the printed layer on the basis of the identified displacement; and output at least a portion of the generated virtual dead space region in a specified color on the flexible display.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- a flexible display, and
- at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- identify a folding angle of the electronic device,
- identify a displacement of a printed layer of the flexible display based on the identified folding angle,
- generate a virtual dead space area substantially contacting a part of a boundary of the printed layer of the flexible display, based on the identified displacement, and
- control to output at least a part of the generated virtual dead space area in a specified color on the flexible display.
A method of controlling an electronic device including a flexible display, comprising:
- identifying a folding angle of the electronic device,
- identifying a displacement of a printed layer of the flexible display based on the identified folding angle,
- generating a virtual dead space area substantially contacting at least a part of a boundary of the printed layer of the flexible display, based on the identified displacement, and
- outputting at least a part of the generated virtual dead space area in a specified color on the flexible display.
