Abstract
A method, electronic device, and computer program product for countering a semi-permanent deformation at an area of a foldable display. The method includes detecting when a display-having at least one hinge area that bends or folds, is placed in an angled position, and in response to the display being placed in the angled position, monitoring a time duration during which the display is in the angled position. The method further includes, in response to the display being placed in a fully-opened position after being in the angled position, calculating a degree of semi-permanent deformation associated with the at least one area of the display, in part based on the time duration, and triggering an increase in temperature at the at least one area of the display to counter the degree of semi-permanent deformation.
