1. A method of operating a flexible display, the flexible display including a movable display support with a first unit cell and a second unit cell each attached to a back surface of a thin film transistor matrix, the method comprising:
positioning the flexible display in an unbent configuration, including;
decreasing a link angle between a first link of the first unit cell and a second link of the second unit cell; and
limiting bending to a first bend radius; and
positioning the flexible display in a bent configuration, including;
increasing the link angle; and
limiting bending to a second bend radius.
