A display method for a side area of a screen and an electronic device, the device including a first display, wherein the first display comprises at least a main display area and at least one side display area, wherein the main display area and the at least one side display area are located on different planes, and wherein the main display area and the at least one side display area are configured to display an output of a first application, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for execution by the processor, the program including instructions to cause, in response to a first task of the first application being triggered, the at least one side display area to display at least one dynamic interface associated with the first task.

A display device includes a flexible display panel and a cover window. The flexible display panel includes a display area to display an image and a pad area extending from the display area. The pad area is bent from the display area. The cover window is disposed on the flexible display panel.

Disclosed is an electronic device that includes a first housing and a second housing, a first hinge structure including a first hinge housing, first and second hinge connecting parts, first and second gears, first and second idle gears, at first support that rotatably supports the first gear and the first idle gear, and a second support that rotatably supports the second gear and the second idle gear, a second hinge structure including a second hinge housing, third and fourth hinge connecting parts, third and fourth gears, third and fourth idle gears, a third support that rotatably supports the third gear and the third idle gear, and a fourth support that rotatably supports the fourth gear and the fourth idle gear, wherein the first hinge structure and the second hinge structure allow the first housing and the second housing to rotate relative to each other between a first state and a second state, and a first surface faces a third surface in the first state, and a second surface faces a fourth surface in the second state.

An electronic device may have a display overlapped by a cover layer. Portions of the surface of the display and cover layer may have curved profiles. The display may include a flexible substrate and may have bent edge portions protruding from a central region. Gaps may be formed between regions of pixels on a common substrate or between separate display panels. An image transport layer formed from a coherent fiber bundle or a layer of Anderson localization material configured to exhibit two-dimensional transverse Anderson localization of light may have an input surface that receives an image from adjacent display pixels and an output surface on which the image is displayed. The output surface may have a curved profile and may exhibit compound curvature. The input surface may have a profile with curved portions or other shapes. Image transport layers can be used to cover gaps between sets of pixels.

An electronic device may have a glass housing structures. The glass housing structures may be used to cover a display and other internal electronic device components. The glass housing structure may have multiple glass pieces that are joined using a glass fusing process. A peripheral glass member may be fused along the edge of a planar glass member to enhance the thickness of the edge. A rounded edge feature may be formed by machining the thickened edge. Raised fused glass features may surround openings in the planar glass member. Multiple planar glass members may be fused together to form a five-sided box in which electronic components may be mounted. Raised support structure ribs may be formed by fusing glass structures to a planar glass member. Opaque masking material and colored glass may be used to create portions of the glass housing structures that hide internal device components from view.

An electronic device is disclosed, including a first plate including a planar area oriented in a first direction, and a curved area extending from at least a portion of an edge of the planar area, a second plate oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, the first plate and second plate defining an inner space, a support member disposed between the first plate and the second plate so as to surround the inner space, and a first adhesive member disposed between the curved area of the first plate and the support member, wherein the first adhesive member includes: a first adhesive layer attached to at least a portion of the curved area of the first plate, and is activated by heat, and a second adhesive layer attached to at least a portion of the support member.

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.

A display device includes a display panel including a display region, a terminal region provided with a terminal, and a bending region located between the display region and the terminal region and capable of bending, the terminal region being located on a rear surface side opposite to a display surface side with respect to the display region based on the bending region bent and a protective coating provided on the display surface side of the bending region. When a direction in which the display region, the bending region, and the terminal region are arranged is defined as a first direction and a direction crossing the first direction is defined as a second direction, the bending region includes a bank portion located in the second direction with respect to the protective coating, projecting to the display surface side, and extending in the first direction.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprise a housing including a first face and a second face facing the first face to construct a space, a sensor module disposed to the space and including a first sensor facing the first face, a display disposed on the sensor module, and a protective sheet disposed to one face of the display and constructing a first opening having a shape different from that of the first sensor at a location corresponding to the first sensor of the sensor module.

A display apparatus includes a flexible display panel including a display area with a first folding area, the display area including an upper surface and a lower surface and displaying an image via the upper surface, a cover window disposed on the upper surface of the display area of the flexible display panel and an antenna layer including a first antenna disposed on an upper surface of the first folding area. The upper surface of the display area includes the upper surface of the first folding area. The first antenna is disposed between the upper surface of the first folding area and the cover window.
