Samsung files Four Major Flex Display Patents in the US

On October ninth Patent Bolt posted a report noting that Samsung's curved smartphone design patent had come to life. Since that time the US Patent and Trademark Office has published several new Samsung patents about advancing flexible displays. One specific patent that was originally filed in April acts as a foundational patent in that it covers the widest imaginable array of deformable display types that will either flex, fold or scroll.

Samsung states that in order to meet consumer demands for new functions and new form factor displays, an effort to develop new form factor displays is ongoing. One result of this effort is a next generation display apparatus in the form of a flexible display apparatus. The flexible display apparatus refers to a display apparatus that is able to be deformed or deformed into different shapes and configuration like paper or rubber.

The flexible display apparatus could be deformed by a force that is applied by a user and thus may be used for various purposes. For instance, the flexible display apparatus may be used for smartphones, tablet PCs, PDA's and beyond.

The flexible display apparatus will be flexible unlike existing display apparatuses. Considering this characteristic, a method for applying a bending gesture as an inputting means and determining an intended input area of the bending gesture input to the flexible display apparatus is required.

One or more exemplary embodiments provide a deformable display device which can use a bending gesture as an inputting means and provide a different function according to a location where bending is performed, and a method for controlling thereof.
