Abstract: An electronic device may include a flexible display having first and second display portions that rotate relative to one another about a bend axis. The flexible display may be mounted to a foldable housing having first and second housing portions coupled by a hinge that is aligned with the bend axis. The foldable housing is operable in a flat state and a folded state. A translation assembly may be configured to slide the display relative to the housing as the device moves between flat and folded states. A compression assembly may be used to apply compression to the flexible display when the foldable housing is in the folded state. A tension assembly may be used to apply tension to the flexible display when the foldable housing is in the flat state. If desired, the translation, compression, and tension assemblies may be combined into a module.

Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices, such as hinged computing devices. One example can include a first portion secured to a first hinge arm that is configured to rotate around a first hinge axis and a second portion secured to a second hinge arm that is configured to rotate around a second hinge axis. A timing shuttle can be positioned on a central shaft that is located between the first hinge axis and the second hinge axis and is configured to control a frictional torque experienced by the first and second hinge arms depending upon orientation of the first and second hinge arms and to synchronize rotation of the first and second hinge arms around the first and second hinge axes.

Abstract: The description relates to hinged devices. One example can include a spine defining inner and outer arced surfaces and a hinge arm positioned between the inner and outer arced surfaces and configured to arcuately move from a retracted position to a fully extended position. The example includes an anti-lock link captured between the spine and the hinge arm to move along an arc. Rotation of the hinge arm to the fully extended position is configured to rotate the anti-lock link along the arc and partially out of the spine until the anti-lock link contacts the spine and blocks further extension of the hinge arm. Reverse rotation of the hinge arm from the fully extended position toward the retracted position is configured to initially cause the hinge arm to contact the anti-lock link and not the outer arced surface.

One example can include a flexible display extending over a major surface of a first portion across a hinge assembly and over a major surface of a second portion. The hinge assembly can include a pair of hinge sub-assemblies that include elongate slider links that extend along a length from proximal ends that are rotationally secured to the hinge assembly to distal ends that are slideably secured to the first portion. The hinge assembly can also include an auxiliary hinge sub-assembly interposed between the pair of hinge sub-assemblies and comprising a truncated elongate slider link that extends along a length that is less than the length of the elongate slider links and extends from a proximal end that is rotationally secured to the hinge assembly to the distal end that is slideably secured in the first portion.

Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a support surface, a display mount configured to be coupled to a display, and a connection mechanism to connect the display mount to the support surface. The connection mechanism is configured to enable a rotation of the display mount between a first position and a second position. The device also includes a set of springs to provide a spring torque that counterbalances a gravitational torque exerted by the display. The connection mechanism causes a translation of the center point of the display relative to the support surface in concert with the rotation. The connection mechanism also causes the center of rotation of the display to shift during the rotation.
