Here, the first processor 140 may be, for example, a central processor (Central Processing Unit, CPU), a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, transistor logic devices, hardware components, or any combination thereof. It may implement or execute various illustrative logical blocks, modules and circuits described in content of the present disclosure. The processor 140 may also be a combination that implements computing functions, for example, a combination including one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, or the like.
As shown in
It will be noted that the first detection component 130 is coupled to the first processor 140, so as to transmit the detected position information of the scrollable display part 112 to the first processor 140. In some examples, the first detection component 130 and the first processor 140 may be physically and electrically connected through signal wires. In some other examples, there is no physical connection between the first detection component 130 and the first processor 140, but a signal coupling, so as to realize transmission and reception of signals between the first detection component 130 and the first processor 140 and receive.
After receiving the position information of the scrollable display part 112, the first processor 140 may determine the current state of the scrollable display part 112 according to the position information of the scrollable display part 112. For example, the current state may include a folded state, an unfolded state, and a start-unfolded state.
As shown in
In the unfolded state, at least a portion of the scrollable display part 112 is pulled out, that is, the at least a portion of the scrollable display part 112 is exposed. In some examples, according to an area of the pulled-out portion of the scrollable display part 112, the unfolded state may be divided into at least a partially unfolded state and a fully unfolded state. As shown in
In the start-unfolded state, the scrollable display part 112 is just out of the folded state; and in the start-unfolded state, an area of the portion of the scrollable display part 112 exposed to the outside of the scrollable display apparatus 100 gradually increases.
If the first processor 140 determines that the scrollable display part 112 is in the start-unfolded state, the first processor 140 may control the fixed display part 111 to display the plurality of extension selection messages.
The plurality of extension selection messages may appear in a form of a pop-up window; or a current page on the fixed display part 111 jumps to an extension selection page, and the plurality of extension selection messages appear on the extension selection page.
The user may select the extension selection message by operating the scrollable display apparatus 100 through touch operations or using other input apparatuses. The plurality pieces of extension display information correspond to different control instructions, and the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to display different extension display information according to a control instruction corresponding to different extension selection messages. Furthermore, the user may select any one from the plurality of extension selection messages according to his (or her) own needs.
For example, a plurality pieces of extension display information corresponding to the plurality of extension selection messages may include any two or more of the following pieces of information: desktop information of the fixed display part 111, interface information on a previous layer-level of a current interface of the fixed display part 111, interface information on a next layer-level of the current interface of the fixed display part 111, partial information of the current interface of the fixed display part 111, and the like. In a case that extension selection message selected by the user corresponds to the partial information of the current interface of the fixed display part 111, the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 and the fixed display part 111 to display the current interface of the fixed display part 111 together, thereby enlarging the current interface of the fixed display part 111 to bring good visual effects to the user.
Hereinafter, considering example in which the scrollable display apparatus 100 is a mobile phone, the extension selection message, the extension display information, and so on will be illustratively described.
For example, referring to
Then the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded, and the first detection component 130 transmits the detected position information of the scrollable display part 112 to the first processor 140, and the first processor 140 determines that the scrollable display part 112 is in the start-unfolded state according to the position information of the scrollable display part 112. Referring to
For example, one extension selection message among A1 to An corresponds to the desktop information of the fixed display part 111. If the user selects the extension selection message, in response to a control instruction corresponding to the extension selection message, the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to display the desktop information of the fixed display part 111. In this case, the interface information of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In the scrollable display apparatus 100 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first detection component 130 is provided to detect the state of the scrollable display part 112. In the case that the scrollable display part 112 is in the start-unfolded state, the first processor 140 controls the fixed display part 111 to provide the plurality of extension selection messages for the user to select a message, and then display content of the scrollable display part 112 is controlled according to the extension selection message selected by the user. Therefore, there is no need for the user to determine the state of the scrollable display part 112, and the plurality of extension selection messages are provided for the user in time for selection, which brings a good user experience to the user.
In some embodiments, the current state further includes at least one target state. The first processor 140 is configured to: if it is determined that the scrollable display part 112 is in a designated target state or upon receipt of a control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the selected extension selection message, control the scrollable display part 112 to display the extension display information corresponding to the selected extension selection message, where the designated target state is one of the at least one target state.
In some examples, there may be one or more target states, and any one of the at least partially unfolded state and the fully unfolded state may be a target state. In a case that there is one target state, the target state may be the fully unfolded state.
In some examples, different extension selection messages may correspond to different target states. In some other examples, some extension selection messages may correspond to a same target state.
In some examples, after receiving the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the extension display information corresponding to the selected extension selection message. Therefore, before the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded to the designated target state, the scrollable display part 112 has displayed a corresponding image, and the display image may be gradually exposed during a process of unfolding the scrollable display part 112. Therefore, continuous experience of the user will not be interrupted during the process of unfolding the scrollable display part 112, and the user may get a strong sense of fashion and technology, thereby bringing the user a good visual and user experience.
In some other examples, after the scrollable display part 112 is in the designated target state, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the extension display information corresponding to the selected extension selection message. Before the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded to the designated target state, the scrollable display part 112 does not display images, thereby reducing load on a battery of the scrollable display apparatus 100.
In some embodiments, the first processor 140 is further configured to, based on the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state.
In some examples, “the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state” is the control instruction corresponding to the selected extension selection message. If the user selects a different extension selection message, the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a different target state. In this case, the plurality of extension selection messages may have a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of target states. In addition, in some other examples, some extension selection messages may correspond to a same target state.
In some examples, different extension selection messages correspond to different display images, and for the different display images, the scrollable display part 112 needs to provide different display areas to make the display images present good display effect.
Different target states correspond to different unfolded states of the scrollable display part 112, and the scrollable display apparatus 100 has different display areas in the different unfolded states. It can be understood that, in the different unfolded states, the fixed display part 111 and an exposed portion of the scrollable display part 112 display an image, and a portion of the scrollable display part 112 hidden in the scrollable display apparatus 100 does not display images.
The first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to different target states according to a display image corresponding to the extension selection message, and the scrollable display part 112 has different display areas in the different target states. Therefore, the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to have different display areas according to the extension selection message, not only a display area may be adjusted according to the display image, so that the scrollable display apparatus 100 has a good display effect, but also battery power of the scrollable display apparatus 100 may be used reasonably.
In some examples, the scrollable display apparatus 100 is provided with an input component. The input component is coupled to the first processor 140, and the input component may transmit the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state to the first processor 140. After receiving the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to start to be unfolded, and controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state. For example, the input component may be a button, a key, or the like provided on a first housing component 150. In addition, the input component may also be a virtual key displayed on the fixed display part 111. In some embodiments, referring to
In some examples, the scrollable display apparatus 100 may be a monitor of a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, an all-in-one machine, or the like. Hereinafter, considering example in which the scrollable display apparatus 100 is an all-in-one machine, the plurality of extension selection messages, and designated target states corresponding different extension selection messages selected by the user will be illustratively described.
For example, in a case that the scrollable display part 112 is in the folded state, a text editing interface is currently on the fixed display part 111. In this case, an interface of the fixed display part 111 is shown in
In this case, the scrollable display part 112 starts to be unfolded, and the first processor 140 controls the interface of the fixed display part 111 to display the first selection message A10 and the second selection message A20. In this case, the interface of the fixed display part 111 is shown in
For example, in a case that the user selects the first selection message A10, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the first selection message A10, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 and the fixed display part 111 to display the current interface of the fixed display part 111 together. The current interface of the fixed display part 111 is enlarged, which is convenient for the user to view and operate. In addition, the first processor 140 may further control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a first target state, and in the case that the user selects the first selection message A10, the first target state is the designated target state. In the example, the current interface of the fixed display part 111 is the text editing interface. In this case, the scrollable display part 112 and the fixed display part 111 display the text editing interface together. In this case, an interface of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
For example, in a case that the user selects the second selection message A20, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the second selection message A20, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the display image different from the current interface of the fixed display part 111. In the example, the current interface of the fixed display part 111 is the text editing interface. In this case, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display interfaces other than the text editing interface, such as desktop information of the fixed display part 111, interface information on a previous layer-level of the text editing interface, interface information on a next layer-level of the text editing interface, and interface information of any application program other than a text editing application program from all opened application programs on the scrollable display apparatus 100.
In some embodiments, the second selection message A20 includes any one or more of a first selection sub-message A21, a second selection sub-message A22, a third selection sub-message A23 and a fourth selection sub-message A24.
Hereinafter, again considering the example in which the scrollable display apparatus 100 is the all-in-one machine, the first selection sub-message A21, the second selection sub-message A22, the third selection sub-message A23 and the fourth selection sub-message A24 will be illustratively described.
For example, the current interface of the fixed display part 111 is a certain text editing interface. The scrollable display part 112 starts to be unfolded, and the first processor 140 controls the interface of the fixed display part 111 to display the first selection message A10, the first selection sub-message A21, the second selection sub-message A22, the third selection sub-message A23 and the fourth selection sub-message A24. In this case, the interface of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In some embodiments, the first processor 140 is configured to: in response to a control instruction corresponding to the first selection sub-message A21, control the scrollable display part 112 to display desktop information of the fixed display part 111; or in response to a control instruction corresponding to the second selection sub-message A22, control the scrollable display part 112 to display interface information on a next layer-level of the current interface of the fixed display part 111; or in response to a control instruction corresponding to the third selection sub-message A23, control the scrollable display part 112 to display interface information on a previous layer-level of the current interface of the fixed display part 111; or in response to a control instruction corresponding to the fourth selection sub-message A24, control the scrollable display part 112 to display interface information of any application program other than a current application program from all opened application programs.
The case that the user selects the first selection message A10 has been described above, and will not be repeated here.
For example, in a case that the user selects the first selection sub-message A21, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a second target state, where the second target state is the partially unfolded state or the fully unfolded state. In this case, the second target state is the designated target state. The first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the desktop information of the fixed display part 111. In this case, the interface information of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In a case that the user selects the second selection sub-message A22, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a third target state, where the third target state is the partially unfolded state or the fully unfolded state. In this case, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the interface information on the next layer-level of the fixed display part 111. In this case, the interface of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In a case that the user selects the third selection sub-message A23, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a fourth target state, where the fourth target state is the partially unfolded state or the fully unfolded state. In this case, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the interface information on the previous layer-level of the fixed display part 111. In this case, the interface of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
For example, three documents are currently opened in the text editing application program. The three documents are Document 1, Document 2 and Document 3, respectively, where Document 1 is in a previous layer-level of Document 2, and Document 3 is in a next layer-level of Document 2. Document 2 is the current interface information of the fixed display part 111. If the user selects the second selection sub-message A22, the first processor 140 may control the scrollable display part 112 to display Document 3, and the interface of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In a case that the user selects the fourth selection sub-message A24, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a fifth target state, where the fifth target state is the partially unfolded state or the fully unfolded state. In this case, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the interface information of any application program other than the current application program from all opened application programs on the fixed display part 111. In some of the examples, the current application program is the text editing program. In addition to the text editing program, a plurality of application programs such as a chat program, a photo editing program, and a browser are opened on the scrollable display apparatus 100. The user may open any one of the programs according to his (or her) own needs. For example, the user selects the photo editing program, in this case, the interface information of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
In some examples, if the user selects the fourth selection sub-message A24, the fourth selection sub-message A24 may be clicked, and then the first processor 140 may control the fixed display part 111 to display interface information of one or more application programs other than the current application program from all opened application programs, for the user to select information. For example, the current application program is the text editing program, and after the user clicks on the fourth selection sub-message A24, the first processor 140 controls the fixed display part 111 to display icons of application programs such as the chat program, the photo editing program, and the browser, for the user to select a program.
To sum up, if the user selects any one from the first selection sub-message A21 to the fourth selection sub-message A24, display information different from that of the current interface of the fixed display part 111 may be displayed on the scrollable display part 112, and the user may simultaneously browse a plurality of pages, which is convenient for the user to operate.
In some examples, the first processor 140 may control the fixed display part 111 to display the first selection message A10 and any two or more of the first selection sub-message A21 to the fourth selection sub-message A24.
In some of the above-mentioned embodiments, the scrollable display part 112 displays display information of the scrollable display apparatus 100. In addition, the scrollable display apparatus 100 may also display interface information of an external display apparatus. In some embodiments, the scrollable display apparatus 100 further includes a communication interface. The communication interface is coupled to the first processor 140, and configured to be coupled to the external display apparatus. The second selection message A20 includes a fifth selection sub-message A25. The first processor 140 is configured to, in response to a control instruction corresponding to the fifth selection sub-message A25, control the scrollable display part 112 to display a current interface information of the external display apparatus.
In some examples, the communication interface may be a communication port, and a data cable may be plugged into the communication port, so that the external display apparatus and the scrollable display apparatus 100 may be communicatively connected. For example, the communication port may be a Type-A port, a Type-B port, a Type-C port, or the like, which are not listed one by one here.
In some other examples, the communication interface may be a Bluetooth communication interface, a Wi-Fi communication interface, or the like, which are not listed one by one here.
In some examples, the external display apparatus may be a display apparatus with a display function such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or an all-in-one machine, which are not listed one by one here.
Hereinafter, again considering example in which the scrollable display apparatus 100 is the all-in-one machine and the current interface of the fixed display part 111 is a certain text editing interface, the fifth selection sub-message A25 will be described.
For example, referring to
In a case that the user selects the fifth selection sub-message A25, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a sixth target state, where, the sixth target state is the partially unfolded state or the fully unfolded state. In this case, the first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the current interface information of the external display apparatus.
For example, the external display apparatus is a mobile phone, and the current interface information of the mobile phone is desktop information. The first processor 140 controls the scrollable display part 112 to display the desktop information of the mobile phone. In this case, the interface information of the scrollable display apparatus 100 is shown in
It will be noted here that, in some other implementations, the first processor 140 may control the fixed display part 111 to display the first selection message A10 and any one or more of the first selection sub-message A21 to the fifth selection sub-message A25, there are many implementable embodiments in these implementations, which are not listed one by one here.
In the above embodiments, the extension selection message and the unfolded state of the scrollable display part 112 are described, and the first detection component 130 will be described below.
In some embodiments, referring to
The at least two photosensitive elements 131 include a first photosensitive element 1311 and at least one second photosensitive element 1312. The first processor 140 is configured to: if an intensity of external ambient light detected by the first photosensitive element 1311 is within a first preset intensity range, and an intensity of external ambient light detected by all second photosensitive elements 1312 is within a second preset intensity range, determine that the scrollable display part 112 is in the start-unfolded state, where any light intensity value in the first preset intensity range is greater than any light intensity value in the second preset intensity range; and if the intensity of the external ambient light detected by the first photosensitive element 1311 is within the first preset intensity range, and an intensity of the external ambient light detected by a designated number of second photosensitive elements 1312 is within the second preset intensity range, determine that the scrollable display part 112 is in the designated target state.
In some examples, referring to
In a case that the scrollable display part 112 is in the folded state, all the photosensitive elements 131 are hidden in the scrollable display apparatus 100, and in this case, the intensity of external ambient light detected by all the photosensitive elements 131 is within the first preset intensity range. As the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded, a plurality of photosensitive elements 131 are exposed one by one. The intensity of external ambient light detected by photosensitive elements 131 exposed outside is greater than the intensity of external ambient light detected by photosensitive element(s) 131 hidden in the scrollable display apparatus 100.
Referring to
In a case that the scrollable display part 112 is in the designated target state, in addition to the first photosensitive element 1311, there are also a specific number of second photosensitive elements 1312 are exposed. Therefore, the first photosensitive element 1311 and the specific number of second photosensitive elements 1312 are in a same environment, and in this case, the intensities of external ambient light detected by the first photosensitive element 1311 and external ambient light detected by the specific number of second photosensitive elements 1312 are all in the first preset intensity range. The designated number of second photosensitive elements 1312 are still hidden in the scrollable display apparatus 100. Therefore, the intensity of external ambient light detected by the designated number of second photosensitive elements 1312 is within the second preset intensity range. A sum of the specific number and the designated number is a number of all the second photosensitive elements 1312.
In a case that a value of the designated number is zero, it means that all the second photosensitive elements 1312 are exposed. In this case, the intensity of external ambient light detected by all the second photosensitive elements 1312 is within the first preset intensity range. In this case, the scrollable display part 112 is in the fully unfolded state. In a case that the designated number is the number of all the second photosensitive elements 1312, all the second photosensitive elements 1312 are hidden in the scrollable display apparatus 100. In this case, the scrollable display part 112 is in the folded state or the start-unfolded state. In a case that the designated number is greater than zero and less than the number of all the second photosensitive elements 1312, the scrollable display part 112 is in the partially unfolded state.
For example, referring to
In the start-unfolded state, as the scrollable display part 112 is gradually unfolded, the second photosensitive elements 1312 are exposed one by one, and finally the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded to a certain target state. For example, referring to
In some examples, referring to
In some examples, referring to
In some other examples, as shown in
Referring to
In some other examples, in a case that the scrollable display apparatus 100 includes the two scrollable display parts 112, all the photosensitive elements 131 may be disposed on only one scrollable display part 112.
In some examples, the photosensitive element 131 may be a photosensitive thin film transistor (TFT), and the photosensitive TFT may be integrated in the flexible display panel 110.
In some other examples, the photosensitive element 131 may be an element independent of the flexible display panel 110, which is disposed on a display surface of the flexible display panel 110.
In addition to the photosensitive element 131 mentioned above, the first detection component 130 may also have other implementations. In some embodiments, referring to
The induction member 132 is disposed on the sliding member 152 or the scrollable display part 112, so a position of the induction member 132 may change as the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded or folded. The detection member 133 is disposed on the fixed member 151, so a position of the fixed member 151 will not change as the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded. In this way, the detection member 133 may obtain the position information of the scrollable display part 112 by detecting the position information of the induction member 132.
In some embodiments, referring to
In some examples, the connecting portion 1122 may be parallel to the fixed display part 111.
In some examples, the display portion 1121 is used for displaying images, while the connecting portion 1122 has no display function.
In some examples, the induction member 132 is disposed on the connecting portion 1122, thereby preventing the induction member 132 from affecting the display of the fixed display part 111. In addition, the connecting portion 1122 is not used for displaying images, so the connecting portion 1122 may provide a large arrangement space for the induction member 132.
In some embodiments, referring to
In some examples, there are a plurality of target magnetic detection elements 13312, and the plurality of target magnetic detection elements 13312 have a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of target states of the scrollable display part 112.
In some examples, the magnetic element 1321 is disposed on the sliding member 152 or the scrollable display part 112. Therefore, as the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded, the magnetic element 1321 will move along with the scrollable display part 112. As a position of the magnetic element 1321 changes, different magnetic detection elements 1331 may detect the magnetic element 1321, and then the first processor 140 may determine whether the scrollable display part 112 is in a state corresponding to a magnetic detection element 1331 according to whether the magnetic detection element 1331 detects the magnetic element 1321. The state mentioned here includes one of the start-unfolded state and at least one target state.
In some examples, referring to
As the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded, in a case that the magnetic element 1321 is out of the detection range of the initial magnetic detection element 13311 and does not enter a detection range of any target magnetic detection element 13312, the scrollable display part 112 is in the start-unfolded state.
As the scrollable display part 112 is further folded, referring to
The magnetic element 1321 is magnetic, and in some examples, the magnetic element 1321 may be a magnet, and the magnetic detection element 1331 may be a Hall switch. If the magnetic element 1321 is within a detection range of the Hall switch, the Hall switch will be closed. If the magnetic element 1321 is out of the detection range of the Hall switch, the Hall switch will be opened. Therefore, the first processor 140 may determine the current state of the scrollable display part 112 according to the closed and opened states of a plurality of Hall switches.
In a case that the magnetic detection elements 1331 are Hall switches, in the folded state, the initial magnetic detection element 13311 is closed, and all the target magnetic detection elements 13312 are opened. In the designated target state, only the designated target magnetic detection element 13312 is closed, while the remaining target magnetic elements 13312 and the initial magnetic detection element 13311 are opened.
In some examples, the first processor 140 may be configured to, in response to that the magnetic element 1321 moves out of the detection range of the initial magnetic detection element 13311 within a preset time, determine the scrollable display part 112 is in an initial unfolded state.
In some embodiments, referring to
In some examples, the first electrode plate Cst1 is disposed on the scrollable display part 112 or the sliding member 152. Therefore, a position of the first electrode plate Cst1 may change as the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded.
In some examples, the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2 may form the capacitor, and the capacitance value of the capacitor depends on a facing area of the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2. As the first electrode plate Cst1 moves, the facing area of the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2 changes, and then the capacitance value of the capacitor changes. Therefore, the first processor 140 may determine the state of the scrollable display part 112 according to the capacitance value of the capacitor. It will be noted here that the facing area of the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2 is an area of an overlapping portion of an orthographic projection of the first electrode plate Cst1 on a first plane and an orthographic projection of the second electrode plate Cst2 on the first plane, where the first plane is parallel to the first electrode plate Cst1 and/or the second electrode plate Cst2.
In some examples, the scrollable display part 112 has a plurality of target states. In this case, the plurality of target states correspond to a plurality of different second capacitance threshold ranges, and there is no intersection among the plurality of second capacitance threshold ranges.
In some examples, referring to
In some other examples, in the folded state, the facing area of the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2 is the smallest. In this case, the capacitance value of the capacitor is the smallest, and the capacitance value is within the first capacitance threshold range. As the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded, the facing area of the first electrode plate Cst1 and the second electrode plate Cst2 gradually increases, and the capacitance value of the capacitor gradually increases. In a case that the capacitance value of the capacitor is within the second capacitance threshold range, it is determined that the scrollable display part 112 is in the designated target state. In this example, any capacitance value in the first capacitance threshold range is less than any capacitance value in the second capacitance threshold range.

The processor 140 may also be a combination that implements computing functions, for example, a combination including one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, or the like.
In the case that the first connecting part 510 and the second connecting part 610 are physically and electrically connected, the third processor 620 is coupled to the second connecting part 610. Since the first connecting part 510 and the second connecting part 610 are physically and electrically connected, the third processor 620 is electrically coupled to the second processor 520.
Structures of the flexible display panel 110 and the first detection component 130 in the first scrollable display apparatus 600 may be the same as those of the flexible display panel 110 and the first detection component 130 in the scrollable display apparatus 100 provided in some of the above embodiments, which will not be described here.
In some examples, a first detection component 130 is configured to detect position information of a scrollable display part 112. The third processor 620 is configured to determine a current state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 according to the position information of the scrollable display part 112 of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 detected by the first detection component, where the current state includes a start-unfolded state and a folded state.
Here, a process of determining the current state of the scrollable display part 112 by the third processor 620 is the same as a process of determining the current state of the scrollable display part 112 by the first processor 140, and will not be repeated here. Since the first scrollable display apparatus 600 includes the scrollable display part 112, the current state of the scrollable display part 112 is the current state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600. In a case that the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is in the start-unfolded state, the scrollable display part 112 is also in the start-unfolded state, and in a case that the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is in the folded state, the scrollable display part 112 is also in the folded state.

In a case that the second connecting part 610 is connected to the first connecting part 510 and the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is in a preset state, the second processor 520 controls the first display apparatus 500 to display a plurality of first extension option messages.
In some examples, the preset state is the folded state. In this case, in a case that the first connecting part 510 is connected to the second connecting part 610, the first display apparatus 500 will display the plurality of first extension option messages. For example, an interface of the first display apparatus 500 is shown in
In some other examples, the preset state is the start-unfolded state. In this case, in a case that the first connecting part 510 is connected to the second connecting part 610, and the first scrollable display apparatus 600 starts to be unfolded, the first display apparatus 500 displays the plurality of first extension option messages.
In some examples, different first extension option messages correspond to different extension display information. Referring to
For example, as shown in
In the display system 400 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a case that the first connecting part 510 is connected to the second connecting part 610, and the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is in the preset state, the first display apparatus 500 provides the plurality of first extension option messages for the user to select a message, and then the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is controlled to display a corresponding information according to a first extension option message selected by the user. Therefore, there is no need for the user to determine the state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600, and according to a connection state of the first connecting part 510 and the second connecting part 610, and the state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600, the first display apparatus 500 may provide the plurality of first extension option messages for the user in time for selection, which brings a good user experience to the user.
In some embodiments, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is configured to, if it is determined that the scrollable display part 112 is in a designated target state or upon receipt of a control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the selected first extension option message, display the extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message, where the designated target state is one of at least one target state.
In some examples, in a case that the user selects different first extension option messages, designated target states corresponding to the first scrollable display apparatus 600 may be different.
In some of the above embodiments, the plurality of target states and the designated target state of the scrollable display part 112 have been described in detail, and will not be repeated here.
In some examples, a target state of the scrollable display part 112 of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is a target state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600, where the target state of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 includes the folded state. For example, as shown in
In some examples, in a case that the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is unfolded to the designated target state, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the first extension option message selected by the user, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 will display the extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message. It can be understood that the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is controlled by the third processor 620 to extension display information. Before the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded to the designated target state, the scrollable display part 112 does not display images, thereby reducing load on a battery of the scrollable display apparatus 600.
In some examples, referring to
The first display apparatus 500 is further configured to: adjust the extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message according to the resolution ratio of the first scrollable display apparatus 600; and transmit the adjusted extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message to the first scrollable display apparatus 600.
The first scrollable display apparatus 600 is further configured to, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the selected first extension option message, display the adjusted extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message.
Here, the extension display information may be adjusted according to the resolution ratio of the first scrollable display apparatus 600, so in a case that the resolution ratio of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is different from that of the first display apparatus 500, the resolution ratio of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 may adapt to the interface information of the first display apparatus 500, thereby making the interface of the first display apparatus 500 displayed on the first scrollable display apparatus 600 appropriate.
In some other examples, after receiving the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, in response to the control instruction corresponding to the first extension option message selected by the user, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 displays the extension display information corresponding to the selected first extension option message. Therefore, before the scrollable display part 112 is unfolded to the designated target state, the scrollable display part 112 has displayed a corresponding image, and the display image may be gradually exposed during a process of unfolding the scrollable display part 112. Therefore, continuous experience of the user will not be interrupted during the process of unfolding the scrollable display part 112, and the user may get a strong sense of fashion and technology, thereby bringing the user a good visual and user experience.
In some examples, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is further configured to, after receiving the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, transmit the resolution ratio of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 to the first display apparatus 500.
In some embodiments, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 is further configured to, based on the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state, control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state.
In some examples. “the control instruction causing the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state” is the control instruction corresponding to the selected first extension option message.
Different first extension option messages correspond to different display images, and for the different display images, the scrollable display part 112 needs to provide different display areas to make the display images present good display effect.
In some examples, the third processor 620 may control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to the designated target state according to the selected first extension option message. It can be understood that if the user selects a different first extension option message, the third processor 620 may control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to a different target state. Therefore, the plurality of first extension option messages may have a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of target states, that is, each first extension option message corresponds to a different target state. In addition, in some other examples, some first extension option messages may correspond to a same target state.
The third processor 620 may control the scrollable display part 112 to be unfolded to different target states according to a display image corresponding to the first extension option message, and the scrollable display part 112 has different display areas in the different target states. Therefore, the third processor 620 may control the scrollable display part 112 to have different display areas according to the first extension option message, not only a display area may be adjusted according to the display image, so that the first scrollable display apparatus 600 has a good display effect, but also battery power of the first scrollable display apparatus 600 may be used reasonably.
In some other examples, a first extension option message of the plurality of first extension option messages may correspond to the folded state. If the user selects the first extension option message, the third processor 620 may make the scrollable display part 112 in the folded state according to a control instruction corresponding to the first extension option message, and control the fixed display part 111 to display extension display information corresponding to the first extension option message.

In this case, the interface of the display system 400 is shown in
In some examples, if the user selects the fifth option message D15, the fifth option message D15 may be clicked, and then the second processor 520 may control the first display apparatus 500 to display interface information of one or more application programs other than the current application program from all opened application programs, for the user to select information. For example, the current application program is the text editing program, and after the user clicks on the fifth option message D15, the second processor 520 controls the first display apparatus 500 to display icons of application programs such as a chat program, a photo editing program, and a browser, for the user to select a program. For example, if the user selects the photo editing program, the second processor 520 may transmit interface information of the photo editing program to the third processor 620, and the third processor 620 controls the first scrollable display apparatus 600 to display the interface information of the photo editing program. In this case, the interface of the display system 400 is shown in
In a case that the user selects any one from the first option message D11 to the fifth option message D15, the first scrollable display apparatus 600 may display information other than the current interface of the first display apparatus 500, thereby facilitating the user to simultaneously viewing and browsing a plurality of interfaces without changing the current interface of the first display apparatus 500, which is convenient for users to operate. In some examples, the second processor 520 may control the first display apparatus 500 to display any two or more of the first option message D11, the second option message D12, the third option message D13, the fourth option message D14 and the fifth option message D15.
