Abstract
A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a deformation sensor configured to sense a bending of the display panel; and a controller configured to control the display panel, wherein the controller is configured to: control displaying a plurality of objects on the display panel; detect the bending of the display panel through the deformation sensor; divide the display panel into a first area and a second area with respect to a bending line defined by the bending; divide the objects into a first object corresponding to the first area and a second object corresponding to the second area according to the bending; and move the first and second objects in first and second directions, respectively, according to the bending.
Claims10
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel;
- a deformation sensor configured to sense a bending of the display panel;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the display panel and detect the bending using the deformation sensor;
- control displaying a first icon corresponding to a first application in a first icon arrangement area;
- detect a first touch input selecting the first icon;
- detect a first bending of the display panel;
- determine that an execution command executing the first application is input according to the first bending to generate a first control signal;
- execute the first application in response to the first control signal;
- define an execution area distinct from the first icon arrangement area in the display panel according to the first bending and to display an execution screen of the first application in the execution area;
- and
- determine that the execution command of the first application is input when a first bending angle between the first icon arrangement area and an execution area becomes smaller.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display panel;
