Abstract
A display device is disclosed. The display device comprises a first touch panel comprising a first display module, a second touch panel comprising a second display module, and a contact detection module located between the first touch panel and the second touch panel. A control module performs display control of the first touch panel and the second touch panel based on operations of the first touch panel, the second touch panel, and the contact detection module.
Claims10
A display device comprising:
- a first touch panel;
- a second touch panel;
- a contact detection module located between the first touch panel and the second touch panel;
- a control module operable to perform display control of at least one of the first touch panel and second touch panel, the display control based on operations of at least one of the first touch panel, the second touch panel, and the contact detection module;
- a first housing comprising the first touch panel;
- a second housing comprising the second touch panel and the contact detection module,
- wherein the first housing and the second housing are operable to transition between a closed state in which the second housing is located at a position covering the first touch panel, and an open state in which the first touch panel and the second touch panel are both located on a substantially similar plane, and
- the control module is further operable to:
- determine whether a contact is detected by the contact detection module, if the first housing and the second housing are in the closed state in case a pressure is applied at a position of a displayed object on the second touch panel and the pressure in then released;
- without contact with the first touch panel, display the displayed object from the second touch panel to the first touch panel, if the contact is detected by the contact detection module and if the first housing and the second housing transition from the closed state to the open state.
A display method for a display device including a first housing comprising the first touch panel, a second housing comprising the second touch panel and a contact detection module, the first housing and the second housing operable to transition between a closed state in which the second housing is located at a position covering the first touch panel, and an open state in which the first touch panel and the second touch panel are both located on a substantially similar plane, and a control module operable to determine whether a contact is detected by the contact detection module, if the first housing and the second housing are in the closed state in case a pressure is applied at a position of a displayed object on the second touch panel and the pressure in then released, comprising:
- detecting operations on a first touch panel, a second touch panel, and contact detection module located between the first touch panel and the second touch panel;
- and
- performing display control for at least one of the first touch panel and second touch panel to position a displayed object, based on the operations;
- transitioning the first housing and the second housing from the closed state to the open state;
- without contact with the first touch panel, displaying the displayed object from the second touch panel to the first touch panel, if the contact is detected by the contact detection module and if the first housing and the second housing is transition from the closed state to the open state.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program code for displaying an object on touch panels, a first housing comprising the first touch panel, a second housing comprising the second touch panel and a contact detection module, the first housing and the second housing operable to transition between a closed state in which the second housing is located at a position covering the first touch panel, and an open state in which the first touch panel and the second touch panel are both located on a substantially similar plane, and a control module operable to determine whether a contact is detected by the contact detection module, if the first housing and the second housing are in the closed state in case a pressure is applied at a position of a displayed object on the second touch panel and the pressure in then released;
- the program code for:
- detecting operations on a first touch panel, a second touch panel, and contact detection module located between the first touch panel and the second touch panel;
- and
- performing display control for at least one of the first touch panel and second touch panel to position a displayed object, based on the operations;
- transitioning the first housing and the second housing from the closed state to the open state;
- without contact with the first touch panel, displaying the displayed object from the second touch panel to the first touch panel, if the contact is detected by the contact detection module and if the first housing and the second housing transition from the closed state to the open state.
