Patent number: RE47702Abstract: The invention relates to a display device comprising a device body with upper and lower body sides and having at least one surface support part for supporting the body on a surface, and a continuous flexible display. A support frame is configured to support at least a part of the flexible display, at least a portion of the support frame is connected with the device body and is movable with respect to the device body between a closed configuration for fixing the flexible display in a storage position and an open configuration for fixing the flexible display in an open position. There is at least one surface support part for supporting the support frame on a surface. In the open configuration the surface support parts of the support frame and of the lower body side are positioned in one plane, enabling a supporting of the surface support parts on a surface for a stable user interaction with the device in the open position of the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Volker Barnhart Verschoor, Johannes Cornelis Adriaan Hamers, Hendrik Visser, Michael Johannes Anna Maria Walters
