A flexible electronic device is provided herein. The device may include a display unit having a continuous display area extending across a first section, a second section, and a transition section of the device, where the transition section is positioned between the first section and the second section. The device is configured to bend about a first axis positioned in a same plane as a center of the transition section, at a distance greater than zero from a first surface of the device positioned in the plane. The device may be configured to bend about a hinge positioned at least partially within the transition section. The device may include a sensor configured to identify a position of the first section relative to the second section of the device, and a processor configured to determine which image or images to display on the display unit based on the identified position.
