A foldable device includes first and second bodies that respectively support a first part and a second part of a flexible display device and are foldably connected to each other between a folded position and an unfolded position, and a movable support member that continuously near-supports a third part of the flexible display device between the first part and the second part when the first body and the second body change from the folded position to the unfolded position.

Foldable device

Disclosed is a method of providing a user interface in a flexible device, the method comprising: determining whether the device is released; displaying at least one user interface on the device on the basis of the determination; and receiving a touch input to the displayed user interface.

Method of providing user interface and flexible device for performing same

A foldable device includes: a flexible display including: a first part; a second part; and a third part provided between the first and second parts; a first body supporting the first part; and a second body supporting the second part, each of the first and second body are configured to move between a first and a second position, in response to each of the first and second bodies being provided in the first position, the first body and the second body form a receiving space, the third part forms a curved portion of the flexible display and the curved portion is provided within the receiving space, and wherein the first part is configured to move in a longitudinal direction of the flexible display with respect to the first body in response to the first and second bodies moving between the first and second positions.

A display device for displaying an image and a method by which the display device operates to display an image are provided. The display device may include a display configured to output a screen image, an image sensor configured to acquire an image signal, a bending detection sensor configured to detect a bending motion or a bent state of the display device, and a control unit configured to control the display to display an image, which is generated based on the image signal, in a region according to a position at which the display is bent on the screen image if the bending detection sensor detects the bending motion or a bent state.

Display device and operating method thereof with adjustments related to an image display according to bending motion of the display device

A portable terminal apparatus includes a bended display including a front display area and a side display area, and a controller that displays a UI element corresponding to an application on a side display area of the bended display if the cover is closed, and in response to a touch with respect to at least one UI element from among the UI elements and an opening of the cover being detected, executes an application corresponding to a UI element with the detected touch, and controls the bended display so that an execution screen of the application is displayed on the front display area.

Method and portable terminal having bended display unit and cover for executing application

A flexible device includes: a display that may be bent by an external force; a sensor configured to sense at least one motion from the group consisting of a bending motion and a folding motion of the flexible device; and a controller configured to determine outer form information about the flexible device, which is obtained when the flexible device is deformed by the at least one motion, and control an object in a screen, displayed on the display, to be moved based on the outer form information.

Flexible device and method operating the same

Provided is a first mobile device having a card shape, the first mobile device including a storage unit configured to store one or more pieces of card payment information; a payment information transmission unit configured to transmit at least one of the one or more pieces of card payment information in a contact or contactless manner to a payment terminal; and a controller configured to determine whether the first mobile device is in a detached state with respect to a second mobile device or a cover of the second mobile device, and to determine whether to transmit the at least one of the one or more pieces of card payment information, based on the determination of whether the first mobile device is in the detached state.

Card-type device and payment method

A user terminal apparatus is provided. The user terminal apparatus includes: a flexible display including: a main area; and a sub area comprising a curved portion and extending from the main area to a side portion of the user terminal apparatus; a housing configured to enclose the flexible display; a sound output hole provided between the flexible display and the housing and configured to output a sound from a call function; and a sound input hole configured to receive an input sound.

User terminal apparatus

A electronic device and a display method thereof are provided. A control method of the electronic device includes: detecting a touch input on an auxiliary display area; in response to a touch input being detected on a first area of the auxiliary display area in a and the electronic being in a state in which the electronic is gripped by a user, processing the touch input as a user input; and, in response to the touch input being detected on a second area of the auxiliary display area different from the first area and the electronic being in the state in which the electronic is gripped by the user, disregarding the touch input.

Electronic device with bent display and method for controlling thereof

A curved touch panel and a display device including the same are provided. The touch panel includes a flat region in which first sensing cells are arranged; and a curved region in which second sensing cells are arranged that are different from the first sensing cells in terms of at least one of an arrangement pattern and a shape.

Curved touch panel and display device comprising same
