A flexible display device and a flexible display apparatus are provided. The flexible display device includes a flexible display module; an attaching frame fixed and connected with the flexible display module; a bending component disposed below the flexible display module, and fixed and connected with the attaching frame; and an elastic layer disposed between the flexible display module and the bending component, and attached on a bottom of the flexible display module. The elastic layer is bendable around a bending axis. Thus, the characteristics of easy assembling and flatness can be improved.

An interface device includes an electronic device and an input device configured to communicate with the electronic device. The electronic device includes a display layer and a sensing layer disposed under the display layer. The sensing layer transmits a first driving signal to the input device and sensing an input generated by the input device. The input device includes a resonance circuit unit in which a first magnetic field is generated based on the first driving signal, a control unit configured to control the resonance circuit unit, and a power supply unit providing power to the control unit. A second magnetic field is generated by the supply in the resonance circuit unit. The sensing layer senses the input based on the second magnetic field.

A phone appliance and method of use are provided where the phone appliance can be used to make VoIP communications calls. In a preferred embodiment, the phone appliance includes an RF connection for connecting to a computer or other computing device for facilitating the placement of the VoIP communications calls. The phone appliance further includes a display or portal for depicting advertisements provided by various advertisers. The advertisements provided can be used to defray all or part of the cost associated with making VoIP communications calls. The portal can also be used to communicate with businesses for ordering products. such as ordering a pizza, and to perform various services, such as purchasing stocks. In an exemplary system, the phone appliance is used to transmit to a control center information related to the user of the phone appliance, such as interests and buying habits, and queries for receiving additional information for various advertised products and services. The control center transmits the queries to the appropriate vendors for providing the user with additional information. Other functions and features are provided to the phone appliance, such as being able to download e-mail messages stored within or received by the computer.

An apparatus and/or method for displaying a multi-window on a foldable electronic device may be provided. The electronic device may include a display device having a display area having a shape that varies depending on first and second housing structures connected to a hinge structure, and a processor operatively connected to the display device, in which the processor may divide a first type display area into a plurality of areas and display information related to a plurality of applications when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the processor may check at least one application set to be continuously used among the plurality of applications when the electronic device switches to a folded state, and the processor may set up a screen constitution in the folded state based on the at least one application and output information related to the at least one application through a second type display area based on the screen constitution. Other embodiments may also be possible.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise: a display which can be expanded or reduced; at least one sensor; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: identify whether an input is received; based on identifying that an input has been received, identify whether the display is expanded or reduced within a given period of time, using the at least one sensor; and based on identifying that expansion or reduction of the display is started within the given period of time, execute a specified function corresponding to the identified input.

Provided is an electronic device including: a battery, a display, at least one processor, and a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: identify a charging scheme for the battery and a state of the display upon detection of a charging start event, display a graphic object on the display using a first display scheme indicating a first charging scheme based on the state of the display based on the charging scheme being the first charging scheme, and display the graphic object on the display using a second display scheme indicating a second charging scheme based on the state of the display based on the charging scheme being a second charging scheme.

A portable electronic device may include an enclosure including a front cover defining a front exterior surface, and a display positioned below the front cover and including a set of transparent conductive traces positioned in a graphically active region of the display and including a first plurality of transparent conductive traces and a second plurality of transparent conductive traces oriented perpendicular to the first plurality of transparent conductive traces. The portable electronic device may further include a proximity sensor including an optical emitter below the display and configured to emit light through the display and through the front cover. The optical emitter may be arranged relative to an optical receiver along a direction oblique to the first plurality of transparent conductive traces and to the second plurality of transparent conductive traces.

A mobile phone may include a display, an enclosure enclosing the display and including a front cover positioned over the display and defining a front exterior surface, and a rear cover defining a rear exterior surface and a raised sensor array region along the rear exterior surface. The raised sensor array region may define a first hole and a second hole. The second hole may be defined by a first opening along an interior surface of the rear cover and having a first opening size and a second opening along the rear exterior surface of the rear cover and having a second opening size smaller than the first opening size. The mobile phone may further include a first camera having a first lens assembly extending into the first hole, and a second camera having a second lens assembly extending into the second hole.

A telephone system is described herein, wherein the telephone system is configured to assist a hearing-impaired person with telephone communications as well as face-to-face conversations. In telephone communication sessions, the telephone system is configured to audibly emit spoken utterances while simultaneously depicting a transcription of the spoken utterances on a display. When the telephone system is not employed in a telephone communication session, the telephone system is configured to display transcriptions of spoken utterances of people who are in proximity to the telephone system.
