Abstract

A novel bendable and highly portable information processor is provided. In addition, a novel information processor capable of displaying information or the like on a seamless large screen is provided. A novel information processor in which one display region can be divided into two regions at a bend position is provided. A novel information processor in which different images or images for different purposes can be displayed in the respective regions is provided. The present inventors have conceived a program including a step of dividing the display region and displaying image data in the respective regions when a display unit of the information processor is bent.

Claims (14)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

an input/output device comprising:

a bending member comprising a plurality of hinge components; and

a display unit that is supported so as to be bent in accordance with bending of the bending member; and

an arithmetic device that supplies image data to the input/output device,

wherein the semiconductor device is configured to display an image in a first region of the display unit, and stop display in a second region of the display unit, when the display unit is bent outward, and is configured to display an image in a seamless screen including the first region and the second region, when the display unit is not bent,

wherein the plurality of hinge components is 5 or more,

wherein the 5 or more hinge components are connected to each other and bend in a same direction, and

wherein the bending member is provided along opposite sides of the display unit.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a bent portion of the display unit is visible by a user.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor device is configured to be bent at a plurality of positions.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of hinge components is aligned along a side of the semiconductor device.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a ratchet mechanism or a unit to prevent slipping.
