The processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: display a first content including at least one image in a first area including a partial area of the flexible display in response to an input, measure a length of the flexible display drawn out from the housing using the sensor, based on the length of the flexible display measured using the sensor being a specified first length, determine that the electronic device is in a non-expanded state, and based on the length of the flexible display measured using the sensor being a second length longer than the first length, determine that the electronic device is in an expanded state. In addition, the processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: based on the electronic device being in an expanded state, display the first content in the first area, and display a user interface corresponding to at least one application and/or second content obtained by converting the first content into a form corresponding to a function provided by the at least one application in a second area including a partial area of the flexible display, drawn out from the housing to be visible, and transmit, in response to an input, data corresponding to the first content to a server connected to the at least one application.

A display panel is provided. The display panel has a display region and a non-display region. The non-display region has an aperture region and a non-aperture region surrounding the aperture region. The display panel includes a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in the display region. The display panel includes a plurality of first light absorbing patterns and a plurality of second light absorbing patterns disposed in the non-aperture region. The plurality of first light absorbing patterns and the plurality of second light absorbing patterns are configured to absorb different colors of lights.

A sensor module includes: a flexible printed circuit board; a temperature sensor disposed on the flexible printed circuit board to measure the temperature of a measurement object; a distance sensor disposed on the flexible circuit board adjacent to the temperature sensor to measure the distance to the measurement object; a terminal cover disposed above the temperature sensor and the distance sensor and including a first hole exposing a top surface of the temperature sensor and a second hole exposing a top surface of the distance sensor; and a window disposed in the second hole of the terminal cover.

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in at least one aspect thereof, comprises continuously charging a cell phone while the user utilizes the cellular phone for ordinary activities (e.g. posting to social media sites, texting, talking, etc.). The signals from routine cellular phone operations will send signals to a photocoupler or other dedicated sensor. The dedicated sensor will output current to drive a magnet mechanism which will in turn drive a fan that generates current to charge to a super/ultra-capacitor.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display panel having a first area and a second area, the first area including a first pixel area and a first surrounding area surrounding the first pixel area, and the second area including a second pixel area, a transmission area, and a second surrounding area surrounding the second pixel area and the transmission area, an encapsulation structure on the display panel and including at least one inorganic layer and at least one organic layer, a color filter on the encapsulation structure and overlapping the first pixel area and the second pixel area, a black matrix on the encapsulation structure and overlapping the first surrounding area and the second surrounding area, and a functional module on a rear surface of the display panel and overlapping the second area.

In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display. The computer-implemented method includes: displaying a home menu comprising a plurality of application launch icons; detecting activation of any respective application launch icon; and, in response to detecting the activation, displaying a first animation of a transition from display of the home menu to display of an application that corresponds to the activated application launch icon. The first animation comprises expanding an image of the application.

An audio output method applied to an electronic device having a proximity sensor, where the method includes obtaining proximity data of the proximity sensor when the electronic device is coupled to an audio output device and has an audio signal to output, outputting, by an earpiece of the electronic device, the audio signal when the proximity data meets a preset condition, determining a type of the audio output device, and selecting, based on the type of the audio output device, whether to output the audio signal using the audio output device. Hence, an earpiece is enabled to output an audio signal under a specific condition when an electronic device including a mobile phone is coupled to another audio output device, thereby improving user experience.

A window member including a base substrate and a light shielding layer including a first light shielding pattern disposed in a first area of the base substrate and a second light shielding pattern disposed in a second area of the base substrate while being spaced apart from the first light shielding pattern and providing a signal transmission area at an inner side thereof. The second light shielding pattern includes an edge having a plurality of curved portions on a plane. This arrangement reduces an area of the light shielding pattern adjacent to the signal transmission area of the window member.

An electronic device includes a display panel including a base substrate and a plurality of pixels disposed on a front surface of the base substrate to display an image, a cover panel in which an opening part is defined, a fingerprint sensor spaced by a predetermined gap from the cover panel and accommodated in the opening part, and an adhesive member accommodated in the opening part and disposed between the fingerprint sensor and the display panel, and the opening part includes a side surface having a step.

Provided is a mobile terminal including a front case, a display disposed at a front surface of the front case, a rear case disposed to oppose a rear surface of the front case, and a finger scan sensor part coupled to the rear surface of the front case. The finger scan sensor part may be configured to sense at least a portion of light incident after passing through the display and the front case among light reflected by an external object. Other embodiments are implementable.
