DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a flexible display;
a length measuring unit configured to measure a length of the flexible display expanded from the device;
a speed measuring unit configured to measure a speed at which the flexible display expands from the device; and
a processor configured to control the flexible display, the length measuring unit, and the speed measuring unit,wherein if the flexible display expands to a plurality of a unit length, the processor displays a plurality of an application execution screen corresponding to the plurality of the unit length on the flexible display, andwherein if the flexible display expands more than a first unit length, the processor controls a first application execution screen corresponding to the first unit length or controls a second application execution screen corresponding to a second unit length according to an expansion speed of the flexible display, and the second unit length being more than a length of the first unit length.
