Patent number: 12105559Abstract: A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism may include a hinge cover fixedly coupled to a hinge base. A plurality of rotation pivots may be rotatably coupled to the hinge base and the hinge cover. A housing of a computing device may be coupled to the rotation pivots, such that, as the rotation pivots rotate into the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is unfolded, and as the rotation pivots rotate out of the hinge base and hinge cover, the computing device is folded. Rotation of the rotation pivots into and out of the hinge base and hinge cover may be restricted by one or more stopping mechanisms, so as to maintain a foldable display of the computing device within allowable bending limits.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Davis Ou, Mike Liu, Vincent Chien, Ollie Chen, Chun Tseng

Publication number: 20200119303Abstract: A display that is suitable for use with a mobile computing device is disclosed. The display includes multiple layers that are bonded in a stack that has side surfaces. Operation of the display may be negatively affected if the side surfaces are exposed to liquids or debris. Accordingly, a film affixed at, or close to, the top of the stack is folded around the side surfaces and attached to a back surface of the stack to cover the side surfaces. This covering can also block light if it is colored, and may help bind layers of the stack together to prevent delamination.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2018Publication date: April 16, 2020Inventors: Chu-Chun Lo, Chun Tseng, Mike Liu
