An electronic device is provided which displays an object (body) on a flexible display screen in accordance with a three-dimensional shape of the display screen by utilizing the flexibility of the display screen. An electronic device including a display portion which includes a flexible display device displaying an object on a display screen; a detection portion detecting positional data of a given part of the display screen; and an arithmetic portion calculating a three-dimensional shape of the display screen on the basis of the positional data and computing motion of the object to make the object move according to a given law in accordance with the calculated three-dimensional shape of the display screen.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, an input unit configured to receive user input, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front face of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, and a controller. The controller controls output of at least one application on the display in the enlarged display mode, and controls, upon receiving an event, output of an application corresponding to the event in a first region based on a signal for confirming the received event. The first region is an event application region when a preset application is being output in the enlarged display mode and is a main region of the enlarged display mode when the preset application is not being output in the enlarged display mode.

An electronic apparatus includes an electronic panel foldable together with a window; and a first functional layer and a second functional layer each foldable together with the window and the electronic panel. The second functional layer is disposed farther from the window than the first functional layer, and has a thickness in a range from about 30 micrometers to about 50 micrometers and a modulus in a range from about 3 gigapascals to about 8 gigapascals, and the first functional layer is disposed closer to the window than the second functional layer, and has both a thickness equal to or greater than that of the second functional layer, and a modulus less than that of the second functional layer.

An electronic device may have a hinge that allows the device to be flexed about a bend axis. A display may span the bend axis. To facilitate bending about the bend axis without damage, the display may include a display cover layer with a flexible portion. The flexible portion of the display cover layer may be interposed between first and second rigid portions of the display cover layer. The display cover layer may also include a layer with self-healing properties. The layer of self-healing material may be formed across the entire display cover layer or may be formed only in the flexible region of the display cover layer. The display cover layer may include a layer of elastomer in the flexible region of the display cover layer for increased flexibility. Self-healing may be initiated or expedited by externally applied heat, light, electric current, or other type of external stimulus.

A display panel, a display apparatus, and a fabrication method of a display panel. The display panel includes a display region and a non-display region, the non-display region includes a bonding region and an unbonding region, and the display panel includes: a display substrate including a substrate and a display device layer disposed on the substrate. The display device layer is at least partially located in the display region; a polarizer disposed on a side of the display device layer away from the substrate, The polarizer includes a first surface away from the substrate, a second surface close to the substrate, and a side surface connecting the first surface and the second surface; a protection layer including a side protection portion covering at least the side surface.

A sensor adjustment method includes obtaining a folding status parameter, where the folding status parameter is used to describe a folding extent of a foldable device, and where a component of the foldable device in a folded state causes interference to a first sensor of the foldable device compared with a non-folded state; invoking a sensor adjustment corresponding to the folding status parameter; and adjusting a sensor operating parameter of the first sensor according to the sensor adjustment and/or performing data preprocessing on first sensor data collected by the first sensor.

An electronic device is disclosed. An electronic device may include: a foldable housing including a hinge, a first housing connected to the hinge and including a first surface oriented in a first direction and a second surface oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, a second housing connected to the hinge and including a third surface oriented in a third direction and a fourth surface oriented in a fourth direction opposite the third direction, wherein the second housing is configured to be folded on the first housing about the hinge, and side surfaces surrounding at least a part of a space between the first surface and the second surface and at least a part of a space between the third surface and the fourth surface; and a display having ductility and extending from the first surface to the third surface to configure the first surface and the third surface, wherein the foldable housing is disposed along an edge of the display and includes bezels extending from respective side surfaces to an active area of the display, and wherein the bezels include, in an area configuring the first surface and the third surface of the foldable housing, extensions spaced apart from edge portions of the display, and support portions disposed between the edge of the display and the extensions to be in contact with the edge portions of the display.
