Abstract
Systems and techniques for substantially wrapping a mobile electronic device in a display are provided. A mobile electronic device is described that includes a housing and a flexible electronic graphical display. The housing defines a substantially flat front surface, a substantially flat back surface opposed to the front surface and four sides that connect the front surface to the back surface. The flexible electronic graphical display forms an exterior surface of the housing and extends continuously from the front surface to the back surface and across one of the side surfaces. The flexible electronic display has an outer surface from which information that is generated on the display can be seen, that is convex around the one side surface. The flexible electronic display is operable to pan an on-screen entity in a continuous animation from the front surface of the device to the back surface.
