Display device

Abstract

A display device with low power consumption is provided. Furthermore, a display device in which an image is displayed in a region that can be used in a folded state is provided. The conceived display device includes a display portion that can be opened and folded, a sensing portion that senses a folded state of the display portion, and an image processing portion that generates, when the display portion is in the folded state, an image in which a black image is displayed in part of the display portion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display device comprising:
 a foldable display region;   a scan line driver circuit; and   a sensing portion,   wherein a black image is displayed in a first display region which is not seen in a folded state of the foldable display region in accordance with the folded state of the foldable display region sensed by the sensing portion, and   wherein a scan line of the scan line driver circuit is connected through the first display region and a second display region which is seen in the folded state.   
     
     
         2 . A display device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first signal line driver circuit electrically connected to the first display region; and   a second signal line driver circuit electrically connected to the second display region,   wherein the first signal line driver circuit is placed in a portion other than a bendable portion when the foldable display region is in the folded state, and   wherein the second signal line driver circuit is placed in a portion other than the bendable portion when the foldable display region is in the folded state.   
     
     
         3 . A display device comprising:
 a foldable display region; and   a sensing portion,   wherein after the sensing portion senses a folded state of the foldable display region, a black image is displayed in a first display region which is not seen in the folded state of the foldable display region and an image other than a black image is displayed in a curved display region which is seen in the folded state of the foldable display region.
