  • Patent number: 11971752
    Abstract: A computing device is described that includes a display assembly, a base assembly, and a main hinge to enable the display assembly to be closed against the base assembly, and to enable the display assembly to be opened apart from the base assembly. The display assembly includes a main display portion that overlaps the base assembly when the display assembly is closed against the base assembly and a peripheral display portion that extends past an edge of the base assembly. The computing device includes a display folding assembly to bend the peripheral display portion into a concealed position in response to the display assembly being closed against the base assembly, and to deploy the peripheral display portion into a viewable position in response to the display assembly being opened apart from the base assembly.
