Flexible display screen systems and methods

A flexible display screen system comprising:

• an article comprising a flexible material;
• at least one flexible display screen secured on the flexible material;
• at least one motive device and linkage to apply a force on the flexible material or on the at least one flexible display screen to cause the flexible material or the at least one flexible display screen to flex or bend in a controlled manner;
• a computer system configured to provide image information for controlling a display of images on the flexible display screen;
• and
• at least one sensor coupled to the computer system and configured for sensing a plurality of different levels of a predefined condition, and providing different sensor information corresponding to each different level of the predefined condition sensed by the at least one sensor;
• wherein the computer system is further configured to control the at least one motive device to provide a different amount of flexing or bending of the flexible material or of the at least one flexible display screen, dependent on each different sensed level to which the sensor information corresponds;
• and
• wherein the predefined condition which the at least one sensor is configured for sensing comprises temperature.

• a computer system configured to provide image information for controlling a display of images on the flexible display screen, wherein the images displayed on the flexible display screen correspond with an amount of flex or bend of the flexible material by the at least one motive device and linkage;
• wherein the computer system comprises one or more processor systems configured to control the at least one motive device to flex or bend the flexible material dependent upon the images displayed on the flexible display screen;
• and
• wherein the one or more processor systems are configured to control the at least one motive device to flex or bend the flexible material in a rounded or partially spherical shape upon the images on the flexible display screen displaying a round or spherical object.
