Abstract: A shape-changeable electronic apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a display module having a first area and a second area. In response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a first shape, the first area is activated, and in response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a second shape, the second area is activated. The electronic apparatus further includes a memory storing computer-executable instructions and a processor which executes the instructions. When the instructions are executed, in the first shape, first content related to a first application is displayed in the first area. Information is identified from the first content. The presence of a candidate application to which the identified information can be applied is determined. In response to the candidate application being present, a graphic object capable of receiving an input for changing the shape of the electronic apparatus is displayed on the first area.

Abstract: A method of driving a light emitting diode (LED) backlight unit, which includes a plurality of LED elements that are connected to a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of source lines, includes generating a plurality of gate signals applied to the plurality of gate lines. While the plurality of gate signals are generated, a non-overlap interval between activation intervals of two adjacent gate signals is generated. All of the plurality of gate signals are deactivated during the non-overlap interval. A plurality of source signals applied to the plurality of source lines are generated. While the plurality of source signals are generated, a high-impedance (Hi-Z) interval included in the non-overlap interval is generated. At least some of the plurality of source signals have a high-impedance state during the high-impedance interval.
