Flexible display apparatus and control method thereof
A flexible display apparatus includes a display unit which displays a screen which includes at least one object; a sensor unit which senses a bent state of the display unit; and a control unit which controls the display unit to display a 3D image of the at least one object deployed in the bending direction of the display unit, if it is determined that the display unit is bent in a predetermined cylinder shape based on the bent state sensed by the sensor unit.
1. A flexible display apparatus comprising:
a display unit which displays a screen which includes at least one object;
a sensor unit which senses whether the display unit is bent in a predetermined shape; and
a control unit which controls the display unit to display a two dimensional (2D) image of the at least one object when the display unit is not sensed to be bent in the predetermined shape, and a bending state image including a 360 degree view of the at least one object when the display unit is sensed to be bent in the predetermined shape.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bending state image is an image of the at least one object which has been 3D scanned, and converted to be deployed and displayed on the predetermined shape screen.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bending state image is a panorama image of the at least one object including at least two images photographed in two different directions and stitched to be deployed and displayed on the display unit bent in the predetermined shape.
4. The apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage unit which stores the two dimensional (2D) image and the bending state image of the at least one object.
5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising a storage unit which stores the two dimensional (2D) image and the bending state image of the at least one object.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sensor unit comprises two sensing modules which are provided at a side and at another side facing the side of the flexible display apparatus, and
the sensor unit senses that the display unit is bent in the predetermined shape if it is determined that the two sensing modules are located within a predetermined distance range.
7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sensor unit comprises a bend sensor which senses bending information, and
the sensor unit senses that the display unit is bent in the predetermined shape if it is sensed by the bend sensor that the display unit is bent at or above a predetermined curvature radius.
8. A control method of a flexible display apparatus, the method comprising:
displaying a screen which comprises at least one object;
sensing a bent state of the flexible display apparatus, and determining whether or not the flexible display apparatus is bent in a predetermined shape according to the sensed bent state; and
displaying, on the screen, a two dimensional (2D) image of the at least one object when the flexible display apparatus is not determined to be bent in the predetermined shape, and a bending state image including a 360 degree view of the at least one object when the flexible display apparatus is determined to be bent in the predetermined shape.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the bending state image is an image of the at least one object which has been 3D scanned, and converted to be deployed and displayed on the predetermined shape screen.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the bending state image is a panorama image of the at least one object consisting of at least two images photographed in two different directions and stitched to be deployed and displayed on the display unit bent in the predetermined shape.
11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the two dimensional (2D) image of the at least one object and the bending state image are stored in the flexible display apparatus.
12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the two dimensional (2D) image of the at least one object and the bending state image are stored in the flexible display apparatus.
13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the flexible display apparatus is determined to be bent in the predetermined shape if it is sensed that two sensing modules which are provided at a side and at another side facing the side of the flexible display apparatus are located within a predetermined distance range.
14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the flexible display apparatus is determined to be bent in the predetermined shape if it is sensed by a bend sensor which senses bending information that the flexible display apparatus is bent at or above a predetermined curvature radius.
