Abstract

An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable a space saving rollable display device to extend automatically in a power efficient manner. While a blade assembly is in a retracted position, a controller of the electronic device determines whether a user notification opportunity exists based on a transition between contextual states of one of stationary and changing from unattended to attended by the user; and stowed on-body of the user changing to held by the user. In response, the controller actuates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly, which includes a blade and flexible display, relative to a device housing of an electronic device from a retracted position to at least a partially extended position. The actuation prepares the flexible display to present user notification(s) and generates a physical indication to a user that the user notification(s) is available to be presented when the flexible display is active.
