  • Patent number: 12158775
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a plurality of housings including a first housing and a second housing, wherein the first housing movably connects to the second housing in a moving direction, a display panel in which a screen display area visually exposed to an outside changes depending on a movement of the second housing relative to the first housing, and a lattice plate disposed on a rear surface of the display panel to support the display panel. The display panel may include a flat portion forming the screen display area and comprising a surface substantially forming a flat surface, an edge portion connected to one end portion of the flat portion and comprising at least a partial region which is curved, and a bending portion connected to the other end portion of the flat portion opposite to the edge portion and comprising at least a partial region which bends according to a movement of the first housing relative to the second housing.

  • Publication number: 20240345711
    Abstract: A shape-changeable electronic apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a display module having a first area and a second area. In response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a first shape, the first area is activated, and in response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a second shape, the second area is activated. The electronic apparatus further includes a memory storing computer-executable instructions and a processor which executes the instructions. When the instructions are executed, in the first shape, first content related to a first application is displayed in the first area. Information is identified from the first content. The presence of a candidate application to which the identified information can be applied is determined. In response to the candidate application being present, a graphic object capable of receiving an input for changing the shape of the electronic apparatus is displayed on the first area.
