Abstract

An Information Handling System (IHS) includes a foldable display and is configured to determine a posture of the IHS based on the angle that the display is folded. The folded display is divided into first and second screen portions. Changes in the posture of the IHS are detected and the content and orientation of the content to display in the respective screen portions is determined. A gap is displayed along the fold of the foldable display, where the gap separates the screen portions along the fold. The width of the gap separating the screen portions may be determined based on the angle that the foldable display is folded and/or based on various additional aspects of the current posture of the IHS.
