  • Patent number: 12235683
    Abstract: An information handling system display has a frame with magnets to couple a display panel in place by the magnets interacting with ferromagnetic material at the rear side of the display panel. Contactless connectors coupled to a scalar board in the frame and to the rear side of the display communicate visual information from the scalar board to the display panel for presentation as visual images. The display panel assembles to the frame by magnetic attraction to have the contactless connectors and power interfaces aligned. Repair of the display panel is performed by separating the display panel from the frame magnetic attraction and coupling a replacement display panel in the place of a defective display panel.

  • Patent number: 12222769
    Abstract: A portable information handling system modular hybrid architecture separates components between rotationally coupled housing portions to minimize cabling, connectors and materials, and to provide improved durability that supports recycling and reuse of the components. For example, a secondary board coupled in a first housing portion exposes a keyboard connector that communicates with a keyboard connector interface when a cover having the keyboard couples over the first housing portion. A battery connector exposed at a side of the secondary board has pins that directly interface with a battery connector interface of a battery. The secondary board supports modular assembly and disassembly of the keyboard and battery for improved recycling of components to reuse.
