Abstract

A flexible display apparatus includes: a flexible display unit; a sensor unit which detects an amount of bending of the flexible display unit; a power supply unit which supplies operating power to the flexible display unit; and a control unit which controls the power supply unit to stop supply of the operating power to the flexible display unit depending on the detected degree of bending of the flexible display unit. With this configuration, the flexible display apparatus is capable of decreasing power consumption and increasing user's convenience by stopping supply of operating power to a flexible display unit based on a degree of bending of the flexible display unit, without requiring a separate switch manipulation or input from a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flexible display device and a control method of the flexible display device, more specifically, to a flexible display device capable of detecting bending of a flexible display unit and stopping supplying working power to the flexible display unit according to the detected bending And the control method of the flexible display device. Background technique [0002] A flexible display refers to a display device that can be bent. A glass substrate is used as a base of a general display device, while a plastic film is used to provide flexibility allowing folding and unfolding to a flexible display device. Such a flexible display device has characteristics of being thin, light, impact-resistant, and flexible, and thus may have unlimited applications in the future due to its high manufacturability. [0003] Figure 1A and Figure 1B An example of a flexible display device that can be rolled up is shown. Electronic produc...
