Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a display device that can be opened and folded. The device includes a sensing portion that detects when the display is folded, and an image processing portion that generates an image in which a black image is displayed in the part of the display that is not needed when the display is folded. This results in a display device that consumes less power and can display an image in a region that can be folded. Additionally, the folded state of the display can be maintained by a magnetic force. Overall, this display device offers low power consumption and a unique display experience.

Problems solved by technology

For example, portable information processors are often used outdoors, and force might be accidentally applied by dropping to the information processors and display devices included in them.

Abstract

A display device with low power consumption is provided. Furthermore, a display device in which an image is displayed in a region that can be used in a folded state is provided. The conceived display device includes a display portion that can be opened and folded, a sensing portion that senses a folded state of the display portion, and an image processing portion that generates, when the display portion is in the folded state, an image in which a black image is displayed in part of the display portion.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an object, a method, or a manufacturing method. In addition, the present invention relates to a process, a machine, manufacture, or a composition of matter. In particular, the present invention relates to, for example, a human interface, a semiconductor device, a display device, a light-emitting device, a power storage device, a driving method thereof, or a manufacturing method thereof. For example, the present invention particularly relates to a display device. In particular, one embodiment of the present invention relates to a foldable display device.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The social infrastructures relating to means for transmitting information have advanced. This has made it possible to acquire, process, and send out many pieces and various kinds of information with the use of an information processor not only at home or office but also at other visiting places.[0003]With this being the situation, portable information processors...
