Embodiment
Fig. 1 is schematically shown as the schematic diagram of the flexible display device of one embodiment of the invention, refer to Fig. 1.Bendable display Device may include flexible type display panel 102, housing unit 104, detecting unit 106 and control unit 108, wherein control is single Member 108 couples flexible type display panel 102 and detecting unit 106, and detecting unit 106 and control unit 108 are configured at In housing unit 104, but it is not limited, detecting unit 106 and control unit 108 can not also configure in some embodiments In on housing unit 104.
Flexible type display panel 102 can be incorporated in housing unit 104 to display picture.Detecting unit 106 is used It is contained with detecting flexible type display panel 102 to the degree of housing unit, and control unit 108 then can be according to bendable display Panel is contained to the degree in housing unit 104 in not being contained to the flexible type display panel 102 in housing unit 104 Display picture, and switch the pattern of flexible display device.For example, the pattern of above-mentioned flexible display device may include to lock Screen pattern and latching mode, when the flexible type display panel 102 of part is contained to housing unit 104, bendable display Device can be switched to screen locking pattern, when flexible type display panel 102 is not contained to housing unit 104 completely, also Scratch formula display panel 102 it is completely exposed when, flexible display device can be switched to latching mode.
It is worth noting that, the pattern switching of above-mentioned flexible display device is not limited to screen locking pattern and solution locked mode Formula, in other embodiments the pattern of flexible display device (such as the time, can also not fetched including important information pattern for example Electric, important stroke), complete data form (after unblock it can be seen that complete page-mode), the custom pattern of user is (in this mould In formula, user can the information that shows of sets itself flexible display device, to reach the purpose of customized settings), also or It is that other can show the patterns of different information.
Wherein when flexible display device is in screen locking pattern, flexible type display panel 102 show screen locking picture to prevent Only the situation of false touch occurs, and screen locking picture for example can only show time information(As shown in Figure 2), also or display the time information with One diagram for being used to unlock(As shown in Figure 3), it can be dragged by user and unlocks screen, into latching mode. In other embodiments, other diagrams are also may include in screen locking picture, such as are available for users to answering for sets itself including several Illustrated with formula.It is bendable aobvious when user drags these applications diagram and then decontrols these applications diagram Showing device can unlock application corresponding to screen and unlatching.Or be that screen locking picture also may include other information, such as The degree that flexible type display panel 102 can be made to be contained with it changes the picture information of its display, that is, switches its display pattern, Wherein picture information can be for example including date, time, weather, log, device setting or calendar.For example, can make Flexible type display panel 102 is showed date in exposed 20% area and the time, the increase display day in exposed 50% area Gas information, by that analogy, as the exposed part of flexible type display panel 102 becomes information that is big and increasing display.
It is so bendable aobvious to the degree switching in housing unit 104 by being contained according to flexible type display panel 102 The pattern of showing device, it is possible to provide user is more novel, simple and intuition mode of operation.
Specifically, above-mentioned detecting unit 106 is detected flexible type display panel 102 and is contained to the degree of housing unit Mode can for example make an at least identifying index on flexible type display panel 102, and wherein identifying index is bendable to indicate Display panel 102 is contained to the degree in housing unit 104, and identifying index for example can be difficult to recognize or can not distinguish with human eye The size or material of knowledge make.Detecting unit 106 can detect the identifying index on flexible type display panel 102, and control unit 108 judge that flexible type display panel 102 is contained to housing unit according to the identifying index that detecting unit 106 is detected Degree in 104.
For example, Fig. 4 is schematically shown as the schematic diagram of the flexible display device of another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Fig. 4. In the present embodiment, multiple identifying indexes arranged evenly on the lateral margin of the flexible type display panel 102 of flexible display device PD1, each identifying index PD1 indicate respectively the diverse location on flexible type display panel 102.The present embodiment of housing unit 104 In be a coiler, it can furl flexible type display panel 102, and detecting unit 106 then correspond to identifying index PD1 position and It is configured on coiler.As coiler furls flexible type display panel 102, identifying index PD1 is also contained to volume simultaneously Receive in device, and will be rolled up by the detecting unit 106 that coiler has a common boundary with flexible type display panel 102 is configured to detect Degree that current flexible type display panel 102 is contained can be learnt by receiving to the identifying index PD1 of coiler.Wherein identifying index PD1 may be, for example, magnetic pattern to implement, and detecting unit 106 for example can then be implemented with magnetic measuring sensor.
In some embodiments, above-mentioned identifying index PD1 can also the material such as indium tin oxide, indium-zinc oxide or metal Matter makes, but is not limited.And identifying index PD1 can be formed at the surface of flexible type display panel 102 in a manner of processing procedure It is or internal.For example, identifying index can pass through the modes such as printing, etching, pressing mold to make, but be not limited.And detect Unit 106 may be, for example, then complementary metal oxide semiconductor video camera or photosensitive coupling element video camera.By complementary gold Category aoxidizes semiconductor video camera or photosensitive coupling element video camera to shoot identifying index, to reach the mesh of detecting identifying index 's.
Fig. 5 is schematically shown as the schematic diagram of the flexible display device of another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Fig. 5.In this implementation In example, it can be not required to identifying index, detecting unit on flexible type display panel 102(Do not illustrate)Coiler can be detected(That is, Housing unit 104)Axle center 302 rotating cycle, such control unit(Do not illustrate)It can be detected according to detecting unit The rotating cycle in axle center 302 of coiler judge that flexible type display panel 102 is contained to the journey in housing unit 104 Degree.
Fig. 6 is schematically shown as the schematic flow sheet of the display methods of the flexible display device of one embodiment of the invention, refer to Fig. 6.Concluding the display methods of above-mentioned flexible display device may include the following steps, first, detect flexible type display panel quilt Store to the degree of housing unit(Step S602).Then, it is contained the journey to housing unit according to flexible type display panel The pattern of degree switching flexible display device(Step S604).Wherein when the flexible type display panel of part is contained to storage list , can be in display picture on the flexible type display panel not being contained to housing unit when first, and flexible display device is cut Screen locking pattern is changed to, and when flexible type display panel is not contained to housing unit completely, flexible display device can be cut It is changed to latching mode.In addition, in some embodiments, the degree that more flexible type display panel can be made to be contained with it changes its institute The picture information of display, wherein picture information may be, for example, date, time, weather, log, device setting or calendar etc. Deng.
In summary, of the invention be contained according to flexible type display panel 102 can to the degree switching in housing unit 104 The pattern of flexible display device, it is possible to provide user is more novel, simple and intuition mode of operation.
