Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the processor 10 is configured to control the display screen 30 to enter the first display mode in response to a first specific operation, and divide the display screen 30 into a first display area 301 and a second display area 302 when the display screen 30 enters the first display mode. The processor 10 is further configured to control the first display area 301 to display with a first display attribute, and control the second display area 302 to display with a second display attribute, where the first display attribute and the second display attribute are different. The first specific operation includes, but is not limited to, double-clicking the display screen 30, a specific gesture operation (for example, drawing a pattern with a specific shape on the display screen 30, such as a straight line, a broken line, a curved line, a circle, a square, a star, etc.), long-pressing a certain physical key of the display device 100 (for example, a volume adjustment key, a Home key, etc.), and performing a selection setting operation on a menu bar of the display device 100, and the like.

In the display device 100 disclosed in this embodiment, when the display device 100 enters the first display mode, the display screen 30 is divided into the first display area 301 and the second display area 302, the first display area 301 is controlled to display according to the first display attribute, and the second display area 302 is controlled to display according to the second display attribute different from the first display attribute, so that the display screen 30 presents different display effects, the display diversity is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, the processor 10 controls the first display area 301 to display with the first display attribute, and controls the second display area 302 to display with the second display attribute, including: the first display area 301 is controlled to display the background pattern with the first display attribute, and the second display area 302 is controlled to display the content with the specific information with the second display attribute.

In a particular embodiment, the first display attribute comprises a first display brightness and the second display attribute comprises a second display brightness. The first display area 301 displays at a first display brightness, the second display area 302 displays at a second display brightness, and the first display brightness is smaller than the second display brightness. Preferably, the first display luminance is 0 and the second display luminance is greater than 0. Here, the "display luminance" refers to the light emission intensity of the display screen 30. When the display brightness is 0, it indicates that the display screen 30 does not emit light, i.e., the display screen 30 is in a black screen state; when the display luminance is 100%, it indicates that the light emission intensity of the display screen 30 is the maximum. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the first display region 301 is displayed at the first display luminance having a low luminance, the power consumption of the first display panel 30 can be reduced.

Further, in some embodiments, the first display attribute further comprises a first resolution and the second display attribute further comprises a second resolution. The first display area 301 displays at a first resolution, the second display area 302 displays at a second resolution, and the first resolution is smaller than the second resolution. The resolution includes, but is not limited to, 800 × 480, 1280 × 720, 1920 × 1080, and the like. In the present embodiment, the second display region 302 displaying the content having the specific information is displayed at a high resolution, and the first display region 301 displaying the background pattern is displayed at a low resolution, so that the background pattern can be weakened to strengthen the content having the specific information, thereby improving the visual effect.

The transparency is proportional to the display definition, so that the second display area 302 can be made to display clearer content.

Referring to fig. 3 again, in some embodiments, the processor 10 controls the second display area 302 to display the content with the specific information in the second display attribute, including: the processor 10 determines that the display area formed by the pixel points on the display screen 30 corresponding to the content with the specific information is the second display area 302, and controls the second display area 302 to display and emit light with the second display attribute to present the content with the specific information. Meanwhile, the processor 10 also controls the pixel points on the display screen 30 corresponding to the first display area 301 not to emit light. It is understood that in this embodiment, the second display area 302 may simultaneously display one or more icons. As shown in fig. 3, when the content having the specific information includes the time icon and a circular shape icon, the processor 10 controls the pixel points on the display screen 30 corresponding to the time icon and the circular shape icon to emit light.

Referring to fig. 4-5, the display panel 30 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 33 arranged in rows and columns, and the display device 100 further includes a driving circuit 35, wherein the driving circuit 35 is electrically connected to the plurality of light-emitting units 33 and is configured to drive the plurality of light-emitting units 33 to emit light for displaying. The processor 10 also controls the driving circuit 35 to drive the light emitting units 33 in the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 to emit light or not, and to control the intensity of the emitted light, and further controls the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 to display with the first display attribute and the second display attribute, respectively. It can be understood that each light-emitting unit may correspond to one pixel point.

Further, the drive circuit 35 includes a scan controller 351 and a drive controller 352; each light emitting unit 33 includes a scan switch T1, a driving switch T2 and a light emitting display device 331, each scan switch T1 is electrically connected to the scan controller 351 for being turned on after receiving a scan signal Gn output by the scan controller 351, each driving switch T2 is electrically connected between a driving power source Vs and the corresponding light emitting display device 331 for being turned on when the corresponding scan switch T1 is turned on and the corresponding scan switch T1 receives a data signal Dn output by the driving controller 352, so that the driving power source Vs applies a driving voltage to the corresponding light emitting display device 331 through the turned-on driving switch T2 to emit light. In this embodiment mode, the light emitting display device 331 includes one organic light emitting diode D1. Of course, in other embodiments, the light emitting display device 331 may further include a plurality of organic light emitting diodes connected in parallel or in series.

Specifically, the scan switch tube T1 includes a first control terminal T11, a first conducting terminal T12 and a second conducting terminal T13, the driving switch tube T2 includes a second control terminal T21, a third conducting terminal T22 and a fourth conducting terminal T23, the third conducting terminal T22 and the fourth conducting terminal T23 are respectively electrically connected between the driving power source Vs and the anodes of the corresponding organic light emitting diodes D1, and the cathodes of the organic light emitting diodes D1 are grounded; the second conducting terminal T13 of the scan switch transistor T1 is connected to the second control terminal T21 of the driving switch transistor T2, and the first control terminal T11 and the first conducting terminal T12 of the scan switch transistor T1 are respectively connected to the scan controller 351 and the driving controller 352.

Referring to fig. 6-7, in some embodiments, the display device 100 further includes a plurality of pressure sensors 50, the pressure sensors 50 are used for sensing pressure data of the display screen 30 when being touched, and the pressure sensors 50 are distributed at different positions of the display screen 30. The processor 10 also controls the display device 100 to enter a second display mode in response to a second specific operation, and when the display device 100 is in the second display mode, the display screen 30 is in a black screen state such that the content displayed on the display screen 30 is invisible. When the pressure sensor 50 responds to the pressing operation and generates pressure data, the processor 10 determines a touch position point a according to the position where the pressure sensor 50 generating the pressure data is located, and controls the preset area 303 centered on the determined touch position point a to be lit so that the display content in the preset area 303 is visible. In the present embodiment, the preset region 303 is a circle having a touch position point a as a center and a preset distance as a radius. In other embodiments, the shape of the preset area 303 may also be a square, a polygon, a star, etc., which is not limited herein.

The second specific operation includes, but is not limited to, double-clicking the display 30, a specific gesture operation (drawing a pattern with a specific shape, such as a straight line, a broken line, a curved line, a circle, a square, a star, etc., on the display 30), long-pressing a certain physical key of the display 100 (such as a volume adjustment key, a Home key, etc.), an operation of selecting a setting through a menu bar of the display 100, and the like, which are not limited herein. It is to be understood that the first specific operation and the second specific operation may be different. The invisible display content means that the display screen 30 is in a black screen state, wherein the black screen state includes that the display screen 30 displays black and the display screen 30 does not emit light. Of course, in other embodiments, the display content is not visible, and the display screen 30 may be in other colors as long as the content to be displayed is shielded.

Referring to fig. 8, in other embodiments, when the display device 100 is in the first display mode, the processor 10 may further control the first display area 301 to enter the second display mode in response to a second specific operation, that is, not the entire display content of the display 30 is invisible, but only a part of the display content of the display 30 is invisible. In the second display mode, the first display area 301 is in a black screen state, so that the content displayed in the first display area 301 is invisible. When the pressure sensor 50 responds to the pressing operation and generates pressure data, the processor 10 determines a touch position point a according to the position of the pressure sensor 50 generating the pressure data. When the touch position point A is determined to be located in the first display area 301, controlling a preset area 303 with the touch position point A as the center to be lightened so that the display content in the preset area 303 is visible.

Further, the area of the preset region 303 is proportional to the size of the pressure data of the touch position point a, that is, when the pressure pressed by the user is large, the area of the preset region 303 is also large, and when the pressure pressed by the user is 0, the area of the preset region 303 is also 0.

After the display device 100 enters the second display mode from the first display mode, the display screen 30 is divided into a first display area 301 and a second display area 302, and the display content of the first display area 301 is invisible. At this time, the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 are independent of each other and can be associated with each other, the "independent of each other" means that the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 do not overlap, and the "associated" means that the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 can interact with each other. For example, a file displayed in the second display area 302 may be dragged into the first display area 301, where the file is not displayed in the second display area 302, and the file is contained in the first display area 301 but hidden because the display content of the first display area 301 is invisible. When the pressure sensor 50 responds to the pressing operation and generates pressure data, the processor 10 determines a touch position point a according to the position of the pressure sensor 50 generating the pressure data. When the touch position point A is determined to be located in the first display area 301, controlling a preset area 303 with the touch position point A as the center to be lightened so that the display content in the preset area 303 is visible. That is, the user can selectively view the document dragged into the first display area 301 by pressing the content in the display preset area 303, so as to provide the user with private reading and avoid peeping some important documents.

In other embodiments, when the pressure sensor 50 responds to the pressing operation and generates the pressure data, the processor 10 determines the touch position point a according to the position of the pressure sensor 50 generating the pressure data, and controls the preset region 303 centered on the determined touch position point a to be illuminated so as to make the display content in the preset region 303 visible, and also responds to the specific gesture operation applied to the preset region 303 to change the position of the preset region 303 or/and adjust the area of the preset region 303. Here, "changing the position of the preset region 303" means that the area of the preset region 303 is not changed, and the position point a of the preset region 303 is changed, thereby moving the preset region 303; "adjusting the area of the preset region 303" means that the position of the position point a of the preset region 303 is not changed, and the area of the preset region 303 is changed, thereby changing the size of the preset region. The specific gesture operation for moving the preset area 303 includes, but is not limited to, touching the preset area 303 with a single finger and touching the preset area 303 with two fingers; specific gesture operations for adjusting the size of the preset region 303 include, but are not limited to, sliding in directions away from each other to increase the area of the preset region 303, sliding in directions closer to each other to decrease the area of the preset region 303, and the like.

In addition, the method for adjusting the area of the preset region 303 further includes increasing the area of the preset region 303 by dragging the boundary line of the preset region 303 and moving the boundary line to the outside of the preset region 303, and decreasing the area of the preset region 303 by dragging the boundary of the preset region 303 and moving the boundary line of the preset region 303 to the inside of the preset region 303. In the present embodiment, the initial area of the preset region 303 centered on the touch position point a corresponds to the maximum pressure generated by the touch position point a. In other embodiments, the area of the preset region 303 centered on the touch position point a corresponds to the pressing time period. For example, the longer the pressing time, the larger the area of the preset region 303. Therefore, the user does not need to press the display screen 30 all the time, and can freely change the position of the preset region 303 or adjust the area of the preset region 303, thereby improving the user experience.

The display device 100 in this embodiment can enter the second display mode in response to the second specific operation, so that the reading security can be improved, for example, when a user needs to view confidential documents in a public place (e.g., on an airplane or on a train), the privacy can be improved to prevent the important documents from being peeped, thereby improving the user experience.

Further, referring again to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the display device 100 further includes an acceleration sensor 60 and/or a direction sensor 70. The acceleration sensor 60 is used to sense acceleration data of the display device 100; the orientation sensor 70 is used to sense angle data of the display device 100. The processor 10 is further configured to acquire acceleration data and/or angle data of the display device 100, determine a state of the display screen 30 according to the acquired acceleration data and/or angle data, and control the display screen 30 to display when it is determined that the display screen 30 is in the use state. It is understood that the orientation of the display screen 30 can be obtained by the acceleration sensor 60 and/or the direction sensor 70, and when the display screen 30 is facing upwards, the display screen 30 is determined to be in the use state.

It should be noted that the display device 100 may only include the acceleration sensor 60 or the direction sensor 70, or may also include both the acceleration sensor 60 and the direction sensor 70, and when both exist, the processor 10 may determine the state of the display screen 30 by combining the acceleration data and the angle data of the display device 100, so as to improve the accuracy of the determination.

In the present embodiment, the display device 100 can determine the state of the display screen 30 based on the acceleration sensor 60 and/or the direction sensor 70, and control the display screen 30 to display the state, thereby improving the user experience.

Referring back to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the display 30 is a flexible display and has a folding area 36. The display screen 30 is capable of being folded along a fold line 37 within the fold region 36. The display screen 30 is divided into a first display area 301 and a second display area 302 along the folding area 36. When the flexible display screen is bent, the first display area 301 and the second display area 302 are close to or far away from each other. Wherein, when the first display area 301 and the second display area 302 are close to each other, the display screen 30 is in a folded state, that is, the first display area 301 and the second display area 302 are oppositely oriented. When the first display area 301 is far away from the second display area 302, the display screen 30 is restored to a flat state.

In this embodiment, since the first display region 301 and the second display region 302 are formed by bending the folding region 36, the display panel 30 further includes a third display region 304 located between the first display region 301 and the second display region 302, and the third display region 304 includes a first side panel 3041 connected to the first display region 301 and a second side panel 3042 connected to the second display region 302. When the first display area 301 is close to the second display area 302, the first side panel 3041 and the second side panel 3042 of the third display area 304 form a continuous arc surface. When the first display area 301 is far away from the second display area 302, the first side screen 3041 and the second side screen 3042 of the third display area 304 form a continuous plane.

In one embodiment, it is determined whether the first display area 301 or the second display area 302 is oriented toward the user by the acceleration sensor 60 and/or the direction sensor 70, thereby automatically controlling the display toward the user's side. In this embodiment, the controlling the display screen 30 to enter the first display mode in response to the first specific operation includes: when the first display area 301 and the second display area 302 are close to each other, the operation of turning over the display device 100 is responded. The controlling the first display area 301 to display with a first display attribute and the controlling the second display area 302 to display with a second display attribute includes: the first display area 301 facing the face of the user is controlled to light up and the second display area 302 facing away from the face of the user is controlled to turn off. When the first display area 301 is turned on, the first side screen 3041 having an arc shape is also turned on, and when the first display area 301 is turned off, the first side screen 3042 having an arc shape is also turned off. In the present embodiment, the operation of turning the display device 100 is to automatically control the display to the user side according to the orientation of the first display area 301 and the second display area 302.

Of course, when the display screen 30 is in the folded state, the first display area 301 and the second display area 302 in the present embodiment may also respectively replace the display screen 30 in the above-described embodiment.

Please refer to fig. 10, which is a flowchart illustrating a display control method according to an embodiment of the present application.
