A portable device (e.g., a wireless device such as a cell phone) is provided with a flexible keyboard and a flexible display screen. Such flexible components may be stored in the housing of the portable device when not in use. The flexible display screen and flexible keyboard may be expanded from the housing when the flexible components are utilized by a user. Non-flexible display and input components may be provided on the exterior of the portable device such that the device may be used, in some form, while the flexible components are stored. In one embodiment, a portion of the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) may be utilized when the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) is stored in said first housing.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain flexible displays that are bent to form displays on multiple surfaces of the devices. Bent flexible displays may be bent to form front side displays and edge displays. Edge displays may be separated from front side displays or from other edge displays using patterned housing members, printed or painted masks, or by selectively activating and inactivating display pixels associated with the flexible display. Edge displays may alternately function as virtual buttons, virtual switches, or informational displays that are supplemental to front side displays. Virtual buttons may include transparent button members, lenses, haptic feedback components, audio feedback components, or other components for providing feedback to a user when virtual buttons are activated.

The description relates to cooperatively controlling devices based upon their location and pose. One example can receive first sensor data associated with a first device and second sensor data associated with a second device. This example can analyze the first sensor data and the second sensor data to determine relative locations and poses of the first device relative to the second device and can supply the locations and poses to enable content to be collectively presented across the devices based upon the relative locations and poses.

A mobile device includes a first display portion, a second display portion and a graphics processor. The first display portion is viewable while the second display portion is obscured when the mobile device is in a retracted configuration. Both display portions are viewable when the mobile device is in an expanded configuration. The graphics processor may be coupled to each display portion and configured to generate a first image for display on: the first display portion when the mobile device is in the retracted configuration; at least one of the display portions while the mobile device is in the expanded configuration; and at least one of the display portions while the mobile device transitions between the retracted configuration and the expanded configuration. The second display portion may be a flexible display material, such as an OLED display and with the first display portion may be a single sheet OLED display.

A mobile terminal including a terminal body having an inner surface, an outer surface and side surfaces, and configured to be opened into an open state and closed into a closed state; a touch screen having first and second regions disposed on the inner surface, a third region disposed on the outer surface, and a fourth region disposed on the side surface between the first and third regions, in the closed state; and a controller configured to display an execution screen to at least one of the first and second regions in the open state, display information related to the execution screen on at least one of the third and fourth regions, based on a closed type of the terminal body corresponding folding closed the terminal body, and execute a function related to the displayed information.

Embodiments described herein provide a device for presenting for presenting visual content from a smart device, having a housing including a base pivotably connected to a display panel; and a receiver configured to receive a signal from the smart device and transmit the signal from the smart device to the display panel; where the housing is not configured to transmit a control signal to the smart device.

A connecting system of a multi-section housing provided at one end face of a first and second housing superposed with their display surfaces at the outsides, comprising: a first shaft vertical to superposed surfaces of first and second housing; and a second shaft perpendicular to the first shaft, wherein if a center line of the first shaft is arranged on a line bisecting the end face to the left and right and the center line of the second shaft is arranged on the superposed surfaces of the first and second housing, the first shaft can be used to allow the second housing superposed over the first housing to be rotated by 180 degrees and, in this state, the first housing can be made to rotate by the second shaft by 180 degrees so as to arrange the display surfaces of the first and second housings on the same plane.

An electronic device includes a body including a first portion and a second portion, a display including a first display area and a second display area, and a processor embedded inside the body. The first portion and the second portion rotate about a rotation axis. The first display area is disposed in the first portion. The second display area is disposed in the second portion. The processor is configured to execute a plurality of applications in the first display area by a first division line in a state where the body is folded by rotation of the first portion and the second portion and to execute the plurality of applications in the first display area and the second display area by a second division line parallel to the rotation axis in a state where the body is unfolded by the rotation of the first portion and the second portion.

An electronic device displays, on a first display of a foldable display, a user interface provided by a reading application, a user may flip over the electronic device, to trigger the electronic device to display, on a second display of the foldable display, a user interface provided by the reading application. In addition, the second display may display the user interface in a form suitable for reading by the user. The user can trigger, in an interaction manner of flipping over the electronic device, the electronic device to display, on the second display with reference to a currently running application or a current location, content that the user expects to view.

A handheld terminal with a transparent display unit is provided. The handheld terminal includes a first transparent display unit disposed on one of a front side and a back side of the handheld terminal, a second transparent display unit disposed on the other side, or a first and a second gesture detection units disposed on the two sides respectively, a drive module including a first display drive module for the first transparent display unit, and one of the following two constituent parts: a second display drive module for the second transparent display unit, or a first and a second gesture detection drive modules for the first and second gesture detection units respectively, and a processing module configured to cause an image to be displayed on the first transparent display unit.
