According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device includes a display that is flexible, has at least a portion located at a first side of the electronic device, and is changeable in size to which the display is exposed to the first side, and a controller configured to display content related to a first application in a first area of the display and display content related to a second application in a second area of the display, wherein when an event related to a notification is identified, the controller displays content related to the notification on one area determined from the first area and the second area based on at least one of the content related to the first application and the content related to the second application.

This application discloses a display method for a foldable screen, applied to an electronic device including a foldable screen. The foldable screen can be folded to form at least two screens, and the at least two screens may include a first screen and a second screen. The method includes: When the foldable screen is in an expanded state, the electronic device displays a first interface of a first application in full screen on the foldable screen. The first interface includes an image captured by a camera. When detecting that the foldable screen changes from the expanded state to a half-folded state, the electronic device displays a second interface on the first screen. In this way, a user can conveniently perform photographing, video calling, live broadcasting, or the like without holding the electronic device steady with both hands.

A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a body, a display coupled to the body to vary a display region viewed from a front of the body according to switching between an enlarged display mode and a reduced display mode, an input unit configured to sense user input, and a controller. The controller controls switching of the display to the enlarged display mode according to first input.

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 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 mobile device including various components in communication with one another, the mobile device comprising a flexible housing, flexible display device mounted in the housing, a deformation sensor mounted in the housing and a device controller configured to operate the mobile device responsive to receipt of data input from the flexible display device, wherein the device controller automatically deactivates the processing of at least a portion of data input received of the plurality of data input received from the display device responsive to receiving communication from the deformation sensor detecting a threshold level of deformation of the housing.

An electronic device is provided that includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing in a movable manner, a flexible display disposed on the first housing and the second housing and having a structure that is changeable with a movement of the second housing, a camera module in which an optical magnification can be set, and a processor. The camera module includes a first camera holder connected to the first housing and including a first lens module disposed along a first optical axis, and a second camera holder connected to the second housing and including at least a second lens module disposed along the first optical axis. The second camera holder is movable along the first optical axis with respect to the first camera holder with the movement of the second housing.

A photographing parameter adjustment method includes: receiving a touch operation performed on the foldable display; in a process of receiving the touch operation, receiving a folding operation performed on the foldable display; and adjusting a photographing parameter of the camera module based on a touch position of the touch operation and a folding angle of the foldable display.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a mobile terminal allowing a user to conveniently determine execution screens of at least two applications to be displayed in a multitasking manner and layouts therefor; and a method for controlling same. Provided according to an aspect of the present invention is a mobile terminal comprising: a body; a display coupled to the body such that a display region viewed from the front of the body can vary depending on switching between an extended display mode and a retracted display mode; and a control unit for performing control such that, in response to switching from the retracted display mode to the extended display mode, multiple layout indicators for multiple application execution screens are displayed or multiple application icons are displayed.

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for detecting ambient light, an electronic device and a storage medium. The electronic device includes: a first screen, the first screen being a foldable flexible screen; multiple light sensors, orientations of light sensing surfaces of the multiple light sensors being different; and at least one processor electronically connected with the first screen and the light sensors respectively and configured to select a target light sensor from the multiple light sensors according to a present state of the first screen and obtain target detection data representing present ambient brightness according to detection data of the target light sensor.
