Patent Images
1. A display device comprising:
- a first display having a substantially flat shape, wherein the first display comprises two opposing sides;
a second display disposed on at least one of the two sides of the first display and having a curved surface bent at a boundary between the first and second displays; and
a controller configured to control a screen of at least one of the first and second displays based on a user touch of the display device,wherein the controller is configured to detect a touch characteristic according to the combination of touch inputs of the first and second displays, wherein the controller is configured to generate an event corresponding to the touch characteristic and provide feedback to the user, if the touch inputs comprise a drag of the second display having the curved surface, andwherein if the touch characteristic is the drag of the second display in a text input mode, the controller is further configured to output a character search UI to the first display and rotate vowels through the character search UI according to an up and down of the second display and rotate consonants through the character search UI according to a left and right drag of the second display.

7. A method for controlling a display image of a display device, the method comprising:
-
providing a display device that comprises
1) a first display having a substantially flat shape, wherein the first display comprises two opposing sides and
2) a second display disposed on at least one of the two sides of the first display and having a curved surface bent at a boundary between the first and second displays; andcontrolling a screen of at least one of the first and second displays based on a user touch of the display device, wherein the controlling comprises; receiving touch inputs of the first and second displays; detecting a touch characteristic according to the combination of the touch inputs; and
generating an event corresponding to the touch characteristic and providing feedback to the user, if the touch inputs comprise a drag of the second display having the curved surface, andwherein the generating comprises;
if the touch characteristic is the drag of the second display in a text input mode, outputting a character search UI to the first display and rotating vowels through the character search UI according to an up and down of the second display and rotating consonants through the character search UI according to a left and right drag of the second display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A display device comprising:
-
a first display having a substantially flat shape, wherein the first display comprises two opposing sides; a second display disposed on at least one of the two sides of the first display and having a curved surface bent at a boundary between the first and second displays, wherein a non-display portion surrounds the second display; a controller configured to control a screen of at least one of the first and second displays based at least partially on a user touch and/or a battery capacity of the display device; and a housing supporting the first and second displays, wherein the housing comprises an upper case contacting the first and second displays and a lower case facing the upper case, and wherein the non-display portion is inwardly bent from the second display such that the second display and the bent portion at least partially surround the upper case, wherein the controller is configured to detect a touch characteristic according to the combination of touch inputs of the first and second displays, wherein the controller is configured to generate an event corresponding to the touch characteristic and provide feedback to the user, if the touch inputs comprise a drag of the second display having the curved surface, and wherein if the touch characteristic is the drag of the second display in a text input mode, the controller is further configured to output a character search UI to the first display and rotate vowels or consonants through the character search UI according to an up and down or left and right drag of the second display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
