Abstract
A display device according to one embodiment of the present specification can include a flexible display unit. And, the display device can modify a virtual keyboard on the flexible display unit based on a bending state of the flexible display unit.
Claims22
A display device, comprising:
- a flexible display unit configured to display one or more contents;
- a bending sensing unit configured to detect a bending state of the flexible display unit based on at least of acceleration, voltage, electric charge and resistance of points on the flexible display unit;
- and
- a processor configured to control the flexible display unit and the bending sensing unit,
- wherein the processor is further configured to display a virtual keyboard on the flexible display unit and perform a modification of the virtual keyboard based on the detected bending state of the flexible display unit, and
- wherein the modification of the virtual keyboard comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a separation of the virtual keyboard, a position change of the virtual keyboard, a size change of the virtual keyboard, a type change of the virtual keyboard, a size change of keys within the virtual keyboard, a density change of the keys within the virtual keyboard and an arrangement change of the keys within the virtual keyboard.
