Patent ID: 8564573

Claim:
A method for detecting a flexion exerted on a flexible screen, said method comprising: providing said flexible screen comprised of at least one organic light emitting diode (OLED) substrate emitting a plurality of light beams and a transparent substrate traversed by a part of said light beams representative of a displayed picture, wherein said flexible screen is divided into a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows representing a plurality of cells, and wherein each one of said cells provides values in response to a scanning process associated with said flexible screen; performing said scanning process by successively illuminating each of said columns via said light beams emitted by said at least one emitting substrate in a sequential manner beginning from a first side of said flexible screen; providing at least one detector arranged on one side of said flexible screen for detecting said values provided by said cells; and identifying a first one of said columns, where a deviation between said values from said first column to an adjacent said first column is greatest, as being associated with said flexion.
