Flexible Display Screen Bending Detection and Region Division
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible electronic devices with foldable screens face issues such as incomplete display when folded, limited screen regions, and inability to multitask, leading to reduced user experience and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect bending of the flexible screen to divide the display region into independent sub-regions, allowing for adjustable display directions and resolutions, enabling seamless use and interaction even when folded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the flexible display screen is folded to enable portability and flexibility, then the device can be bent without damage, but the display object at the folded location becomes distorted and affects viewing quality
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent display regions (first display region, second display region, etc.) when the screen is folded. Each region can independently display content, ensuring that the display object remains complete and undistorted in each region even when the screen is bent at foldable locations.
2Area of stationary object
If the display screen is used as a single unified region, then the display area is maximized, but the screen cannot be divided into multiple functional regions limiting multitasking capability
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen dynamically switches between unified display mode and divided display mode based on whether the screen is folded or unfolded. When unfolded, the screen operates as a single unified region for maximum display area. When folded, the screen automatically divides into multiple independent display regions, enabling multitasking and multiple functions simultaneously.
3Ease of operation
If the electronic device has single-function mode for simplicity, then the device is easier to control, but resource utilization is wasted and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Each display region can independently perform different functions (work, entertainment, communication, etc.), allowing the device to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. The system provides both single-function mode for simplicity and multi-function mode for efficiency, adapting to different user needs and scenarios.

AI summary
An electronic device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The electronic device has a flexible display screen, and the flexible display screen has a first display region. The method for controlling the electronic device includes: detecting whether the flexible display screen is bent to generate detection information; and dividing a first display region into a first display sub-region and a second display sub-region in the case that the detection information indicates that the flexible display screen is bent, where the first display sub-region is independent of the second display sub-region.
