Abstract
A flexible display device and a data displaying method thereof are disclosed. The device includes a touch sensor to generate touch events according to touch actions, a flexible sensor to generate a bend signal as one side of the device is bent, a storage unit to store a function table, and a controller to control the components of the device. The function table is configured to define control operations to reproduce currently output contents based on the touch events and the bend events.
Claims15
A flexible display device, comprising:
- a display configured to display content;
- a touch sensor configured to detect a touch;
- a bending sensor configured to detect deformation of the display;
- and
- a processor configured to perform a function corresponding to a location of the touch in response to the touch sensor detecting the touch and the bending sensor detecting the deformation of the display,
- wherein a first function is performed based on the touch being detected on a first location and a second function is performed based on the touch being detected on a second location.
