Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A deformable electronic device, comprising:
a flexible display;
a housing spanning an entire major face of the flexible display without borders that picture frame the flexible display;
one or more sensors detecting deformation of the deformable electronic device;
at least one imager, disposed beneath the flexible display and capturing one or more images of an identifiable marker of the flexible display in response to the one or more sensors detecting the deformation of the deformable electronic device; and
one or more processors estimating an amount of the deformation of the deformable electronic device as a function of how far the identifiable marker of the flexible display translates across the at least one imager during the deformation of the deformable electronic device;
wherein:
the at least one imager comprises two imagers each positioned beneath the flexible display;
flexible display comprises a first pixel portion situated above a first imager of the two imagers and a second pixel portion situated at areas other than those positioned above the first imager;
the first pixel portion comprises a combination of transparent organic light emitting diode pixels and reflective organic light emitting diode pixels;
the first pixel portion is centrally situated atop the first imager when the deformable electronic device is undeformed and is offset toward an edge of the first imager when the deformable electronic device is fully deformed; and
the identifiable marker comprises is recognizable by the first imager.
