Dual display apparatus and method of driving the same
First Claim
1. A dual display apparatus comprising:
- a first display configured to display first visual information and to receive a touch input;
a second display comprising a double-sided emission type display configured to display second visual information through a first surface or a second surface opposite to the first surface and to receive the touch input;
a sensor configured to sense relative locations of the first display and the second display; and
a controller configured to determine whether or not the second display is covering the first display according to a signal of the sensor, and configured to control the first display and the second display,wherein the sensor comprises;
a first sensor at one side of the first display and positioned to face the second display when the second display covers the first display; and
a second sensor at one side of the second display and positioned to face the first display when the second display covers the first display,wherein the controller is configured to calculate an angle between the first display and the second display according to signals received from the first sensor and the second sensor, andwherein the controller is further configured to receive the touch input from the second display when the second display covers the first display, and to receive the touch input from the first display when the second display does not cover the first display.

Abstract
A dual display including: a first display for displaying first visual information and receiving a touch input; a second display including a double-sided emission display for displaying second visual information through a first surface or a second surface opposite to the first surface, and receiving a touch input; a sensor for sensing relative locations of the first and second displays; and a controller for determining whether or not the second display is covering the first display according to a signal of the sensor, and for controlling the first and second displays. Here, the controller is configured to receive the touch input from the second display when the second display unit covers the first display, and to receive the touch input from the first display when the second display does not to cover the first display.

11. A method of driving a dual display apparatus, the method comprising:
-
detecting, by a sensor, relative locations of a first display and a second display; determining, by a controller, whether or not the second display, which comprises a substantially transparent portion, covers the first display according to a signal of the sensor; if it is determined that the second display is covering the first display, activating at least one of the first display or the second display; and if it is determined that the second display is covering the first display, receiving a sound signal or a touch signal, wherein the sensor comprises; a first sensor at one side of the first display and positioned to face the second display when the second display covers the first display; and a second sensor at one side of the second display and positioned to face the first display when the second display covers the first display, wherein the controller calculates an angle between the first display and the second display according to signals received from the first sensor and the second sensor, and wherein the second display comprises a double-sided emission type display configured to display second visual information through a first surface or a second surface opposite to the first surface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
