Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method for dividing a flexible display into removable sections for use as one or more wearable devices, comprising:
deactivating locking mechanisms for a portion of an articulated display of a flexible display device, the locking mechanisms being part of a plurality of locking mechanisms along predetermined dividing lines of the articulated display of the flexible display device, the predetermined dividing lines of the flexible device defining a plurality of portions of the flexible display device which includes the portion, the plurality of portions being contiguous with each other;
enabling decoupling and removal of the portion of the flexible display device by the deactivating of the locking mechanisms;
connecting a power supply to the portion as part of converting the portion to a wearable device to be used by a user, when the portion is decoupled and removed from the display; and
initiating activation of one or more locking mechanisms of the plurality of locking mechanisms, in response to the portion of the flexible display device being removed from the flexible display device, to lock remaining contiguous portions of the flexible display device.
