Curved Display UI Layout Control Across Variable Bending Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices with curved surfaces face challenges in dynamically adjusting the user interface to accommodate varying curvatures, affecting the user's immersive experience and interface usability.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a bending module at its center, controlled by a controller to change the curvature between flat, first bending, and second bending modes, allowing adjustments in the size and position of the user interface output, including spacing and arrangement, to optimize the interface based on the curvature mode.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display module is bent to increase curvature for improved immersion, then the user's immersive experience is enhanced, but the available display region size decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device dynamically adjusts the user interface configuration based on the current curvature mode. The controller detects whether the display module is in flat mode or bent mode (first or second curvature) and automatically reconfigures the user interface elements accordingly, allowing the system to adapt between different operational states without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes multiple parameters of the user interface simultaneously when curvature changes: position (repositioning UI elements to optimal locations), size (scaling UI element dimensions), and spacing (adjusting distances between elements). This coordinated parameter adjustment ensures the UI remains usable and visually balanced across different display curvatures.
2Ease of operation
If the user interface elements are spaced apart for ease of selection, then usability is improved, but the available display space is consumed faster
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different spacing strategies to different user interface elements based on their location and function. When the display is in bent mode with limited space, the controller selectively adjusts spacing for specific UI components rather than uniformly reducing all spacing, maintaining usability for critical elements while optimizing space utilization.

AI summary
A display device includes a main body configured to have a display module to which a user interface is output, a bending module located at a center of a back surface of the main body, and a controller. The controller controls the bending module to change a curvature of the display module to any one of a flat mode in which the display module is flat, a first bending mode in which the display module has a first curvature, and a second bending mode in which the display module has a second curvature, wherein the second curvature is a maximum curvature of the display module. Then, the controller changes at least one of a size and a position of a display region to which the user interface is output, according to whether a mode is the flat mode, the first bending mode, or the second bending mode.
