Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a flexible display detection system to detect movement (e.g., flexing) of a flexible display screen on a device and to interpret the movement as a gesture or selection of a device mode. Embodiments may utilize bendable sensors located adjacent to the flexible display, and may divide a display into multiple panel sections (e.g., three panels) connected to one another via hinging portions of the flexible display. Depending on the arrangement of the sections, the device may be operated in a different mode such as, for example, a tablet mode, a reader mode, or a phone mode.
