An electronic device may include: a housing; a flexible display which can be slid out from an inner space of the housing; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: control a first screen operation on the flexible display having a first size; determine whether the flexible display is slid out; control a second screen operation on the flexible display having a second size when the flexible display is slid out; and control the second screen operation such that a first page displayed during the first screen operation and at least some of icons included on a second page are displayed, and a user interface is displayed to allow the at least some of icons included on the second page to be distinguished from the first page.

A portable, electronic device configured to transform between a smartphone usage mode and a keyboard-based usage mode. The device includes (i) a base section and (ii) a top section that includes a touchscreen display that sits over the base section when the device is in the smartphone mode. A sliding carriage system enables the top section to both (i) slide back over the base section, moving parallel to a top surface of the base section, and then fully expose the keyboard, and (ii) then pivot so that the display is at a conventional reading angle to the keyboard.

A glass substrate includes a first portion corresponding to a flat portion of a flexible display, a second portion adjacent to the first portion and corresponding to a bendable portion of the flexible display, a third portion connecting the first and second portions to each other, a depth of layer, an average thickness at each of the first portion, the second portion and the third portion. and an average depth of the depth of layer, at each of the first portion, the second portion and the third portion. The average thickness of the glass substrate at the first portion is greater than the average thickness of the glass substrate at the second portion, and the average depth of the depth of layer at the first portion is about 0.75 to about 1.3 times the average depth of the depth of layer at the second portion.

Embodiments provide a proximity sensor located at a side edge of a terminal or a top side edge of the terminal. A first included angle is formed between light emitted by the proximity sensor and a touchscreen of the terminal. The terminal obtains data detected by a motion sensor, and motion data of the terminal based on the data detected by the motion sensor. The terminal determines whether the motion data is less than a first threshold. If the motion data is less than the first threshold, the terminal determines that no external object is currently approaching, and skips performing a mistouch prevention action. If the motion data is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal determines, based on data detected by the proximity sensor, whether an external object is approaching, and determines, based on a determining result, whether to subsequently perform the mistouch prevention action.

Systems and techniques for substantially wrapping a mobile electronic device in a display are provided. A mobile electronic device is described that includes a primary display, a primary user input mechanism, and a secondary display. The primary display is operable to display user-selectable elements and has a face on a portion of an exterior surface of the mobile electronic device. The exterior surface includes all surfaces visible to a user. The primary user input mechanism is operable to receive user selections in coordination with the primary display of user-selectable elements. The secondary display is operable to display content to a user. The secondary display includes substantially the entire exterior surface of the mobile electronic device excluding the primary display.

Disclosed are a display apparatus and a method for controlling same. The display apparatus comprises: a main display unit for displaying a first application group; a sub display unit stored in the display apparatus or exposed therefrom; a sensor unit for sensing whether the display apparatus is rotated; and a control unit, wherein the sub display unit is exposed from the display apparatus to display a second application group, and the control unit controls the main display unit to display a previously configured screen when the sub display is stored, and when the display apparatus is sensed by the sensor unit to have been rotated in the lateral direction within a previously set time by an angle equal to or greater than a previously set angular value, then the control unit can control the main display unit so that the second application group is displayed thereon on a full screen.

A touch screen panel may include a liquid crystal, a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode provided at both sides of the liquid crystal, and a controller configured to transfer image data to the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode in a first mode and sense a touch of a user on at least one of the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode in a second mode.

A receiver control method includes: when a receiver of a terminal is at a first position of the terminal, picking up, by using a microphone, an audio signal sent by the receiver; and if there is a noise in the audio signal picked up by the microphone, moving the receiver to a second position of the terminal. When the receiver is at the first position, an orthographic projection of a first sound hole of the receiver along a first direction at least partially overlaps with a target component. When the receiver is at the second location, the orthographic projection of the first sound hole along the first direction does not overlap with the target component.

A method for providing haptic feedback at a portable electronic device including a touch-sensitive display and a physical keyboard comprising depressible keys and touch sensors for detecting touches thereon, is provided. In response to detecting a first touch on the physical keyboard, which physical keyboard is moveable relative to the touch-sensitive display, between a first position in which the physical keyboard is exposed for use and a second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein the first touch is associated with haptic feedback, first haptic feedback is provided to the physical keyboard. In response to detecting a second touch on the touch-sensitive display when the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein the second touch is associated with haptic feedback, second haptic feedback is provided to the touch-sensitive display.
