Abstract

An electronic device includes a flexible display that can be deformed at a deformation portion to partition the flexible display into a first portion and a second portion. One or more processors present content on the first portion of the flexible display and remediate the second portion of the flexible display to compensate performance degradation of the flexible display resulting from presenting content on the first portion of the flexible display.

Claims (24)

1. A method, comprising:

determining, with one or more processors, a portion of a flexible display disposed to one side of a bend in the flexible display and requiring remediation to compensate performance degradation of the flexible display resulting from presenting content more frequently to the one side of the bend or more frequently to another side of the bend; and

remediating the portion of the flexible display.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting, with the one or more processors, the content on the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend, and remediating another portion of the flexible display to the another side of the bend.

3. The method of claim 1 , the presenting and the remediating occurring simultaneously.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transitioning portions of the flexible display disposed to the another side of the bend to a low-power or sleep mode of operation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting a prompt to the another side of the bend, the prompt instructing content presentation on the portion to the one side of the bend.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting a docking operation transitioning an electronic device comprising the flexible display to a docked mode of operation, the remediating occurring during the docked mode of operation.

7. The method of claim 1 , the remediating occurring as a function of a screen ON time of the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend.

8. The method of claim 1 , the remediating occurring as a function of a display brightness of the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend.

9. The method of claim 1 , the remediating occurring as a function of an ON pixel value for the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend.

10. The method of claim 1 , the remediating occurring as a function of a value for red, green, and blue pixels of the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend when ON.

11. The method of claim 1 , the remediating occurring while the content is being presented on the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend.

12. The method of claim 1 , the remediating comprising presenting complementary content on the portion of the flexible display disposed to the one side of the bend.

13. A method, comprising:

determining, with one or more processors, a portion of a flexible display disposed to one side of a bend and requiring remediation to compensate performance degradation of the flexible display resulting from presenting content more frequently to the one side of the bend or more frequently to another side of the bend; and

remediating the portion of the flexible display by presenting content on the portion of the flexible display.

14. The method of claim 13 , the flexible display coupled to an electronic device, the remediating the portion of the flexible display occurring while the electronic device is in a docked mode of operation.

15. The method of claim 14 , the docked mode of operation occurring when the electronic device is coupled to a charger, power supply, or docking station.

16. The method of claim 13 , the flexible display coupled to an electronic device, the remediating the portion of the flexible display occurring while the electronic device is bent into a predefined geometrical configuration.

17. The method of claim 13 , the flexible display coupled to an electronic device, the remediating the portion of the flexible display occurring when the electronic device is stationary.

18. The method of claim 13 , the flexible display coupled to an electronic device, the remediating the portion of the flexible display occurring while the electronic device is in a low-power or sleep mode.

19. The method of claim 13 , the content comprising complementary content to monitored content previously presented on the portion.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the complementary content and the monitored content are the same.
