Flexible Display Panel Bending Detection and Image Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current flexible displays do not effectively utilize their flexibility to provide different display patterns, resulting in a similar user experience to traditional LCD displays, failing to showcase their unique characteristics.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device comprising a first and second display portion connected by a bendable portion with integrated sensors and a control module that detects bending to switch between different images on each portion, allowing for varied display orientations and patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the flexible display panel is bent to allow first and second display portions to be located at different planes, then different display orientations are achieved, but the display content remains the same across all portions
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically adjusts the content displayed in different regions based on the bending state. A sensor detects whether the panel is bent, and the control module responds by displaying different images in different display regions when bent, or a unified full-sized image when flat. This dynamic adaptation enables both varied display orientations and differentiated display content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sensors and control modules are integrated into the flexible display panel to detect bending and switch display patterns, then display adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor serves multiple functions: it detects the bending state of the panel and provides this information to the control module which then adjusts the display content accordingly. The control module integrates the sensing input and manages the display output for multiple regions, consolidating control functions into a single module that reduces overall system complexity despite the added adaptability.

AI summary
A display device includes a flexible display panel. The flexible display device includes a first display portion, a second display portion, and a bendable portion. The bendable portion is configured to be bendable to allow the first display portion and the second display portion to be located at different planes. A sensor is disposed in the flexible display panel and configured to detect whether the bendable portion is bending. A control module is disposed in the flexible display panel and electrically connected to the sensor. The control module enables the first display portion to display a first image and enables the second display portion to display a second image when the sensor detects that the bendable portion is bending.
