Flexible Display Area Segmentation for Battery Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User terminal devices with flexible displays face challenges in efficiently managing information display based on bending states, leading to unnecessary battery consumption and user inconvenience when displaying brief information.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal device with a flexible display that can be divided into areas based on bending states, using a bending sensor and controller to activate or deactivate information display on specific areas in response to bending and unbending, allowing for efficient management of information presentation and battery usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the flexible display continuously displays information on the entire screen, then the user can access information conveniently, but the battery consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions (first region and second region) based on bending state. When bent, only the first region displays information while the second region remains dark, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining accessibility in the visible area.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system dynamically adjusts which regions are active based on the bending state detection. The controller switches between different display modes (full screen when unbent, partial screen when bent) to optimize the balance between information accessibility and energy consumption.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the flexible display is divided into multiple areas based on bending state, then battery consumption is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A bending sensor provides real-time feedback about the device's bending state to the controller. This feedback mechanism enables automatic, context-aware adjustment of display regions without requiring complex user input or manual configuration, simplifying the control logic despite the divided display architecture.

AI summary
A bendable user terminal device provided with a flexible display controls the flexible display to display information on a first area while the user terminal device is maintained in a bent state based on a detected bending state of the user terminal device, and, in response to the user terminal device changing from the bent state to an unbent state, controls the flexible display not to display the information on the first area.
