Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for displaying an image at an electronic device are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes displaying an image at an electronic device that includes a first display surface and a second display surface separated from the first display surface by a gap. A first portion of the image is displayed at the first display surface, a second portion of the image is displayed at the second display surface, and a third portion of the image between the first portion and the second is not displayed. A movement of the electronic device is detected, and in response to detecting the movement, the third portion of the image is displayed at the second display surface.
