Samsung Patent Filings Reveals Work on Flex Displays & eBooks

The US Patent & Trademark Office recently published two patent applications from Samsung covering flexible displays and ebooks. Samsung's main patent filing generally relates to a flexible display device which is adapted to detect bending information, such as folding or bending of the flexible display device, and to output an image corrected on the basis of the bending information. Samsung's second patent filing generally relates to making page turning in future eBooks more realistic.

A New Samsung Flexible Display Patent Surfaces

In this first Samsung patent application that we're covering, we see one aspect of their progress in flexible display design. In patent FIG. 8 shown below we see a controller which will control an image displayed on the screen based on a value detected by the sensor part. That is, the controller receives bending information detected by the sensor part and performs a control to correct an image displayed on the screen depending on the position or bent angle of the bent location B or to output an image suitable for a UI or UX to the screen.
