Abstract
This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for a stimulus-responsive depth-changing display. An electronic device includes a flexible display and a stimulus-responsive material disposed at least partially under the display. The electronic device receives image data and determines depth data associated with the image data. An image is displayed on the flexible display based on the image data. While displaying the image on the flexible display, the stimulus-responsive material can be activated by a stimulus to cause the stimulus-responsive material to change from a first shape to a second shape. In changing from the first shape to the second shape, the stimulus-responsive material displaces at least a portion of the flexible display. In doing so, the shape of the flexible display can be reconfigured to add depth to a displayed image.
