Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing an illumination of a flexible display (110) of an electronic device (100). According to certain aspects, the systems and methods initiate an illumination mode whereby the flexible display (110) illuminates with various display elements when the display either makes up an inner or outer surface. The rollable device (100) detects any overlap regions (204) as well as any areas associated with tactile interactions by a user of the device. Further, the rollable device (100) can obscure an illumination within the overlap regions (204) and the tactile interaction areas. In some aspects, the user can select to optically steer the illumination via touch sensors (130) located on a side opposite from the flexible display (110).
