Abstract: A portable information handling system supports a flexible OLED display film over housing portions rotationally coupled by a hinge by folding the OLED display film over the hinge. Hinge brackets that couple to the housing portions each have a gear member with a semicircular shape gear inner circumference that engages a gear subassembly of the hinge main body. Hinge bracket rotation translates through the gear subassembly for synchronized housing rotation. The hinge main body has first and second semicircular portions with a smooth surface defined to accept the outer circumference smooth surface of the gear member semicircular shape at first and second rotation axes about which the hinge brackets pivot so that the display film has space to fold in the closed position.

Abstract: An electronic device including two bodies, at least one hinge assembly, and a hinge cover is provided. The two bodies are pivoted to each other through the hinge assembly. The hinge cover is connected between the two bodies and covers the hinge assembly. The hinge cover includes a plurality of shell parts, and the shell parts are movably connected to each other in sequence. The hinge cover has at least one first heat dissipation opening and at least one heat dissipation flow channel, and the at least one heat dissipation flow channel communicates the first heat dissipation opening and an inner space of at least one of the bodies.

Abstract: A folding-type electronic device including a first housing, a second housing, at least one hinge structure, an elastic cover, two bearing plates, a flexible screen, first synchronous gears, and second synchronous gears is provided. The first housing and the second housing are symmetrical to a centerline. The hinge structure is respectively connected to the first housing and the second housing, and the centerline passes through the hinge structure. The elastic cover is slidably disposed between the hinge structure and the first housing and the second housing and has first racks. The bearing plates have second racks. The flexible screen is disposed on the bearing plates. Each first and second synchronous gear is respectively pivoted to the first and second housings. Each first and second synchronous gear is engaged with each corresponding first and second rack.

Abstract: A bending module and a folding display device are provided. The bending module is adapted to vary between a flattened state and a bent state. The bending module includes a flexible unit and a pair of supporting members. The flexible unit has a neutral layer, and the pair of supporting members are connected to the flexible unit. When the bending module varies between the flattened state and the bent state, the flexible unit is deformed, and the supporting members are each rotated via one corresponding center of rotation to be relatively close to or far from each other, wherein the centers of rotation are always maintained on the neutral layer of the flexible unit. By applying the bending module to the folding display device, the service life of the folding display device may be extended.
