Abstract
A display device that incorporates a supplemental display screen that is stored within a main body of the display device must be able to transition objects displayed on a main display to a supplemental display. As the supplemental display is pulled out from storage within the main body of the display device, objects that were displayed on the main display may be transitioned onto the supplemental display. Various methods for transitioning the display of objects on the main display to the supplemental display are discussed, where methods may take into account the length of the supplemental display that is pulled out from storage and also touch input contacts that are made on either one of the displays.
