Electronic device and method for controlling the same
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a display unit having an electro-deformable layer provided on its surface, the electro-deformable layer comprising electrostrictive material that has high dielectric constant and diffusive phase transformation;
a detection unit configured to detect a state parameter of the electronic device;
a power supply unit configured to supply current; and
a processing unit electrically connected with the display unit, the detection unit and the power supply unit, respectively, and configured to determine whether the electronic device is in a predetermined state based on the state parameter and, upon determining that the electronic device is in the predetermined state, instruct the power supply unit to apply a predetermined current to the electro-deformable layer, such that a strength of the electro-deformable layer is increased from a first, default strength to a second strength.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides an electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device, capable of solving the problem that the screen of the electronic device is fragile in use. The electronic device comprises a display unit having an electro-deformable layer provided on its surface. The method comprises: detecting a state parameter of the electronic device; determining whether the electronic device is in a predetermined state based on the state parameter; and applying, upon determining that the electronic device is in the predetermined state, a predetermined current to the electro-deformable layer, such that a strength of the electro-deformable layer is increased from a first, default strength to a second strength.
