1. A self-protection device, comprising:
- a flexible display having a display side;
one or more actuating devices arranged on a back side of the flexible display opposite the display side; and
a monitoring mechanism configured to monitor one or more conditions such that if a triggering event occurs, the monitoring mechanism triggers the one or more actuating devices to bend the flexible display to firm a self-protecting pose to protect the flexible display such that the self-protecting pose shields the display side from being viewed.

10. A self-protection device, comprising:
-
a flexible display having a display side and a back side opposite the display side; an actuation system provided on the back side including; one or more actuating devices arranged in a configuration on the back side of the flexible display; and a control circuit for controlling an actuation order of the one or more actuating devices to enable the display to achieve a self-protection pose by bending the flexible display to hide the display side using the back side; and a monitoring mechanism configured to monitor one or more conditions such that if a triggering event occurs, the monitoring mechanism signals the control circuit to enable the one or more actuating devices to move the display into the self-protecting pose to protect the flexible display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for self-protecting a display device, comprising:
-
providing one or more actuating devices arranged on a back side of a flexible display, the back side being opposite a display side; monitoring one or more conditions of the flexible display to determine if a triggering event occurs; and if the triggering event occurs, activating the one or more actuating devices to bend the flexible display to to hide the display side to obtain a self-protecting pose to protect the flexible display such that the self-protecting pose shields the display side from being viewed. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
