Abstract
An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide a predictable external finger area on a 'rollable display device' for fingerprint authentication that is dynamically aligned to a fixed finger location on a device housing of the electronic device. The electronic device has a translation mechanism operable to position with a blade assembly having a flexible display that retracts to reduce size of the electronic device for carrying or stowing. The transmission extends the blade assembly to increase display area of a flexible display on a front side of a device housing of the electronic device. A fingerprint scanner that moves with the flexible display is sized to capture a fingerprint at a fixed finger area on a device housing of the electronic device for each position of the blade assembly between the retract position and the extended position. The fingerprint of a user is used to authenticate the user.
