Abstract: A portable communication device includes a housing having at least three housing portions where a first housing portion is rotatably connected to a second housing portion and the second housing portion is rotatably connected to a third housing portion. A flexible display screen is connected to the first, second, and third housing portions to form a continuous surface having a first screen portion connected to the first housing portion, a second screen portion connected to the second housing portion and a third screen portion connected to the third housing portion. The portable communication device is configurable into at least three configurations including an open position where the entire screen surface is exposed and visible to the user and a closed position where the housing portions are folded to each other such that the entire screen surface is unexposed. A partially closed position allows the user to view a portion of the display screen.

Abstract: A portable communication device includes a primary display and a secondary display where the secondary display surrounds the primary display. The secondary display is translucent allowing at least some light to pass through the display to form a clear, or nearly clear, bezel around the primary display. A dot matrix system or clear LCD generates images on the secondary display and a sensing mechanism, such as a set of capacitor sensors, detects user input. User interaction with objects presented on the secondary display allows the user to manage content in the primary display.
