Abstract
A method in an electronic device includes establishing, with a communication device, an electrical communication channel with a content presentation companion device. A communication device then queries the content presentation companion device for an identification of an aspect ratio of the content presentation companion device. A translation mechanism then causes a blade assembly carrying a flexible display to slide around a device housing sufficiently to reveal a front-facing area amount of the flexible display having dimensions corresponding to the aspect ratio. The method can also cause the front-facing area amount of the electronic device to match aspect ratios of other electronic device electronically in communication with the content presentation companion device.
