Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile terminal equipped with flexible display. The controller changes a screen displayed on the flexible display or controls the operation according to a bent part of the flexible display.
Claims30
A method of controlling a mobile terminal equipped with a flexible display, the method comprising:
- displaying data on a display region of the flexible display;
- dividing the display region into a plurality of parts;
- detecting that a part of the display region of the flexible display is bent;
- selecting one of the divided plurality of parts in response to a location of the bent part;
- enlarging a size of an image of the data displayed in the selected part without changing a size of an image of the data displayed in the unselected parts, if a detected bend direction is a first direction;
- and
- reducing a size of an image of the data displayed in the selected part without changing a size of an image of the data displayed in the unselected parts, if the detected bend direction is a second direction opposite to the first direction.
4 more elements
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a flexible display configured to display data;
- a sensing unit configured to determine that a part of a display region of the flexible display is bent;
- and
- a controller configured to
- divide the display region into a plurality of parts,
- select one of the divided plurality of parts in response to a location of the bent part,
- enlarge a size of an image of the data displayed in the selected part without changing a size of an image of the data displayed in the unselected parts, if a detected bend direction is a first direction, and
- reduce a size of an image of the data displayed in the selected part without changing a size of an image of the data displayed in the unselected parts, if the detected bend direction is a second direction opposite to the first direction.
5 more elements
A method of controlling a mobile terminal equipped with a flexible display, the method comprising:
- displaying data on a display region of the flexible display, the display region divided into a plurality of divided parts;
- detecting a bend in a predetermined portion of the flexible display;
- and
- changing a characteristic of data displayed in one part of the plurality of divided parts without changing a characteristic of data displayed in any remaining parts of the plurality of divided parts in response to the detected bend.
1 more element
