Publication number: 20230376078Abstract: A display system includes a continuous flexible display, two book halves, two main display supports, and a movement synchronizing coupling. The two book halves are connected to each other via a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism has two hinges, and each hinge is rotatable about respective axis. Each of the two main display supports connects to one of the two book halves and is configured to support the flexible display. The coupling is connected to the two main display supports and rotating about a rotation axis that is parallel to the axis of hinge to enable a synchronized movement of the two main display supports.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Kwok Wah MOK, Noortje GRUNDLEHNER-BOS, Volker Barnhart VERSCHOOR, Robert Sjang Josine VAN DIJK, Johannes Cornelis Adriaan HAMERS

Patent number: 9980402Abstract: An article includes a flexible electronic component and a flexible support coupled to the flexible electronic component. The flexible support is configured to support the flexible electronic component but also limit local bending of the flexible component. The flexible support defines a plurality of hinge points configured to facilitate movement of the article. The plurality of hinge points are positioned such that the article has a desired bending range.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: FLEXTERRA, INC.Inventors: Hjalmar Edzer Ayco Huitema, Kwok Wah Mok, Samuel Mason Curry

Patent number: 9642241Abstract: A method for mounting a flexible electronics component to a support structure includes bending the flexible electronics component to be aligned with a curved contour. The curved contour is determined based on a flexibility requirement of a product in which the flexible electronics component is to be integrated and one or more flexibility constraints of the flexible electronics component. The method also includes bending the support structure to be aligned with the curved contour, and adhering the bent flexible electronics component to the bent support structure to produce a flexible electronics assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Flexterra, Inc.Inventors: Hjalmar Edzer Ayco Huitema, Kwok Wah Mok
