Abstract: A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism may include a plurality of rod assemblies, arranged side by side, each defining an individual pivot axis of the hinge mechanism. The rod assemblies may each include a plurality of segments. One or more of the plurality of segments of one of the plurality of rod assemblies may be coupled to one both of the adjacent rod assemblies, such that the rod assemblies pivot sequentially to guide the folding and the unfolding of the foldable layer of the foldable device.

Abstract: A foldable device includes a foldable layer and a hinge mechanism including at least one hinge module. The at least one hinge module includes a first hinge section and a second hinge section that are each rotatable relative to a central hinge axis to move the device between an unfolded and a folded configuration. The first and second hinge sections may each include a first rod that is threadably engaged in a first passage in a corresponding housing of the device, and a second rod that is movably received in a second passage in a corresponding housing of the device. Movement of the first rod within the first passage adjusts a length of the hinge module during folding/unfolding of the device to maintain bending within a neutral layer of the foldable layer, while being guided by movement of the second rod in the second passage.

Abstract: An apparatus for depositing an organic material includes: a main chamber; a first substrate loading section in which a first substrate is loaded in the first radial direction and seated; a second substrate loading section in which a second substrate is loaded in the second radial direction and seated; a scanner including a linear organic material deposition source, a source moving means to which the organic material deposition source is coupled to linearly move the organic material deposition source so that the organic material particles are injected onto the surface of the first substrate or the second substrate, and a rotating means for rotating the source moving means; and a scanner moving means for moving the scanner back and forth so that the scanner is positioned in the first deposition region or the second deposition region.
