Abstract
In a device (10), a flexible display screen (11) and a housing (12, 13) are structurally configurable between an open position and a closed position. The housing (12, 13) visibly exposes a full operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the open position. The housing (12, 13) also visibly exposes a partial operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the closed position. A cover (16) manually or automatically impedes physical damage to the partial operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the closed position.
