Abstract

Disclosed is a display device for maximizing the possibility that an after image is formed in a rollable display, including a housing, a guide bar accommodated in the housing and configured to rotate, a display configured to be drawn out from the housing along with rotation of the guide bar and to be retracted into the housing, and a controller configured to display the display content in a region of the display, which is drawn out from the housing, in which a draw-out length of the display that is partially drawn out from the housing is variable.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a housing;
a display;
a roller disposed inside the housing, wherein the roller is configured to rotate in a first direction for the display to be wound around the roller or in a second direction for the display to be unwound around the roller; and
a controller configured to:
cause the display to display content in a region of the display that is extended to a first length from the housing when in a partial view mode, wherein an extended length of the display to be extended from the housing is variable, wherein the partial view mode is entered in response to receiving a command activating a frame mode, and
cause the display to display a black background in the region of the display when in the frame mode.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to change the extended length of the display when entering the partial view mode.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to change the extended length of the display to a first length when entering the partial view mode at a first time and to control the extended length of the display to a second length when entering the partial view mode at a second time, wherein the first time occurs before the second time.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the display to display the content in a first portion of the region of the display corresponding to the first length at the first time and to cause the display to display the content in a second portion of the region of the display corresponding to the second length at the second time.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to periodically rotate to change the extended length of the display when in the partial view mode.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to rotate to change the extended length of the display to a second length when the display has been drawn out to the first length for a time period.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to change the region in which the content is displayed when the extended length of the display changes.

8. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to change a layout of the content on the display when the extended length of the display changes.

9. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the region in which the content is displayed corresponds to an entire extended region of the display when the extended length changes.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to change a size of the region depending on the extended length when the extended length of the display changes.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured, in the frame mode, to control the display to:
move a set of images in a first direction,
re-display at least a portion of the set of images to be displayed in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, wherein at least a portion of an image from the set of images is no longer displayed due to moving the set of images to be displayed in the first direction, and
change a position of the set of images after the re-displayed set of images is to be displayed in the second direction.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the display to change the region in which content is displayed to a different region of the display that is drawn out from the housing after the partial view mode has been entered for a predetermined time period.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the display to change the region in which content is displayed to a different region of the display that is drawn out from the housing when entering the partial view mode.

14. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to rotate in the first direction or the second direction such that the extended length of the display in the partial view mode is 20% to 35% of an extended length in a full view mode, wherein the full view mode draws out the display to a maximum length from the housing.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to randomly determine the extended length of the display within a predetermined range when entering the partial view mode.

16. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to control the roller to rotate in the first direction or the second direction such that the extended length of the display when entering the partial view mode from a zero view mode is different from the extended length of the display when entering the partial view mode from a full view mode,
wherein the zero view mode retracts the display entirely into the housing,
wherein the full view mode draws out the display to a maximum length from the housing.

17. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to fix a size of the region in which the content is displayed, wherein the fixed size of the region is independent from the extended length of the display.

18. The display device of claim 17 , wherein the controller is configured to move the region in which the content is displayed within a section where the display is drawn out from the housing.
