Dual-Side Flexible Display Sub-Content Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals with large screens face challenges in portability due to increased size, and existing display arrangements do not effectively utilize both sides of the device for content display, leading to reduced usability.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a flexible display that can be folded or rolled, allowing content from a first area to be displayed on a second area, enabling efficient use and improved usability by identifying and separating sub-content based on user input.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display size is increased to provide a large screen, then the display area is improved, but the device size increases and portability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into multiple independent display areas located at different sides of the device (first display area at first side, second display area at second side). This segmentation allows the total display area to be distributed across multiple locations rather than requiring a single large continuous screen, thus maintaining large display capacity while keeping the device compact and portable.
Solution Approach 2:
The display areas are arranged in different spatial dimensions - specifically at opposite sides of the device rather than expanding the screen in a single direction. This dimensional arrangement enables the device to utilize both sides for display purposes, effectively doubling the usable display area without proportionally increasing the device's overall size.
2Ease of operation
If the display is divided into areas and content is displayed in one area, then the display functionality is improved, but the usability of other areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Each display area is designed to be multi-functional - they can independently display different content types (first content in first display area, second content in second display area). The controller can dynamically assign different applications and content to different display areas based on user input, making each area versatile rather than dedicated to a single function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically reconfigures content distribution between display areas based on user interaction. When a user provides input related to sub-content, the controller identifies and moves relevant content to appropriate display areas. This dynamic adaptation ensures that all display areas remain useful and adaptable to different user needs rather than being statically assigned.

AI summary
Provided is a mobile terminal including a display located at a first side of the mobile terminal and a second side of the mobile terminal facing the first side, and a controller configured to display content related to a first application in a first area of the display located at the first side, the content including at least one sub-content, identify one or more sub-contents of the at least one sub-content in response to a first input related to the one or more sub-contents being received, and display at least a portion of the identified one or more sub-contents in a second area of the display located at the second side.
