Abstract
An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide a flexible display that is configurable when being worn around a wrist of a user to increase a display width area. The electronic device includes a strap having an outer layer presenting the flexible display and an inner support layer attached to an underside of the flexible display. The strap is positionable between an uncoiled position and the coiled position with lateral edges of first and second terminal ends of the strap juxtaposed in abutted alignment. In response to determining the coiled position based on a sensor or a user interface input, a display driver of the electronic device selectively renders display content and presents rendered display content within a coil display area that is two straps wide of terminal ends of the strap in juxtaposed adjacent position.
