Abstract: A bendable device is provided. The device comprises: a display stack which comprises a window layer and at least one active layer, and a body which comprises an extendable bending region. The active layers are fixed to the window layer at the bottom side of the window layer. Edges of the window layer extend outwards in relation to the at least one active layer at two or more sides of the display stack, and the window layer is rigidly fixed to the body at the edges which extend outwards at the bottom side of the window layer. A method for assembling a bendable device comprising a display is disclosed.

Abstract: A device is disclosed comprising: a first portion; a second portion; a hinge element between the first portion and the second portion; a magnetic sensor disposed on the first portion configured to measure an ambient magnetic field; a non-extensible element configured between the first portion and the second portion, and fixed with respect to the second portion; a magnetic element configured on a free end of the non-extensible element so that a rotation of the first portion with respect to the second portion causes relative motion between the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor, thereby causing a change in a magnetic field between the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor; wherein an angle of fold between the two portions is calculated based on the change in the magnetic field as determined by the magnetic sensor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method wherein the apparatus includes a bendable display; a substrate configured to support the bendable display wherein the substrate includes at least one bendable portion configured to enable the bendable display to be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and a support structure provided adjacent to the bendable portion of the substrate configured to provide a rigid support for the bendable portion of the substrate, at least, when the display is in the closed configuration.
