  • Apparatus and method for detecting and handling flexion states of flexible display
    Patent number: 9164593
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flexion state detecting and handling method and apparatus for detecting and handling a flexion state of a flexible display. A sensing unit includes a bend sensor array having a plurality of bend sensors arranged on the flexible display in a predetermined form. Each of the bend sensors detects a degree of bending as the bend sensor is bent along a flexion of the flexible display at a point where the bend sensor is arranged. A controller generates flexion state information indicating a flexion state of the flexible display based on the degree of bending detected by the bend sensors.
