Abstract
An electronic device, method, and computer program product respond to the electronic device extending flexible displays to a display area that can be almost four times larger than a collapsed position. A controller of the electronic device monitors a sensor configured to detect an unfolded open position of the dual device housing assembly and responds to a display positioning trigger to activate translation mechanisms that translate the blade assemblies in unison. While the dual device housing assembly is unfolded, two blade assemblies may be extended, either from sides opposite to a hinge of the dual device housing display or from adjacent sides, to increase the display area.
