A portable communication device in an embodiment may include a housing which forms an exterior of the portable communication device; a flexible display at least partially received in the housing and bendable with respect to a bending axis, the flexible display including at least one layer, an opening formed in the at least one layer; and an image sensor module at least partially positioned in a space formed by the opening, wherein the at least one layer may include a first inner side surface positioned in a first direction based on the image sensor module and a second inner side surface positioned in a second direction opposite to the first direction based on the image sensor module, as the flexible display is at least partially bent, the first inner side surface may be moved in the second direction, and if the flexible display is substantially flat, a first separation distance between a first side surface of the image sensor module facing the first inner side surface of the at least one layer and the first inner side surface of the at least one layer may be greater than a second separation distance between a second side surface of the image sensor module facing the second inner side surface of the at least one layer and the second inner side surface of the at least one layer.

A portable electronic device can act as a music player, gaming device and a smart phone combined. The device has multiple panels each with a display. The panels are connected in a manner to permit the device to be opened and closed such as by folding the panels. When folded the a device is compact and able to held in the palm of a hand, yet such a device can be extended into a larger form factor, such as the size of commonly available tablets. Furthermore, when in proximity to a large display device, such a device can act like a laptop or personal computer through a local connection such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other communication protocol to the display.

An information handling system keyboard extends plural feet from a bottom surface to reduce contaminants at the bottom surface that might scratch a touchscreen display and retracts the plural feet when resting on the touchscreen display to place a non-scratch and contaminant free surface against the touchscreen display. In one embodiment, the plural feet automatically retract when in proximity to a display surface, such as in response to a magnetic sensor integrated in the keyboard that senses a magnet integrated in the display or in response to a command from an information handling system having an integrated display on which the keyboard rests. In one embodiment, the keyboard integrates accelerometers to automatically extend the plural feet during accelerations and retract the plural feet when the keyboard rests on a display after accelerations.

An electronic apparatus includes a window, a display panel disposed on a lower surface of the window, and a digitizer disposed on a lower surface of the display panel. The digitizer includes a first photosensitive resin layer, a first sensing coil disposed on one surface of the first photosensitive resin layer, a second photosensitive resin layer disposed spaced apart from the first photosensitive resin layer, and a first adhesive layer disposed between the first photosensitive resin layer and the second photosensitive resin layer and which adheres the first photosensitive resin layer and the second photosensitive resin layer.

Foldable touch screen display devices with a flexible display unit made up of segments that can be reconfigured from a compact state to an expanded state which includes a modular rigid display that may be attached to the flexible display unit. The form factor of the compact state is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of the expanded state is roughly the size of a larger phone or tablet computer. A third state whereby the attached rigid display is folded out such that its top surface is aligned with the top surface of the unfolded flexible display, may provide the use of both displays simultaneously. All folded states may include an integrated speaker and microphone. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with at least one segment of the flexible display or rigid display may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system, which may be used in any state.

Disclosed is an electronic device for setting up home screens of a first display and a second display including a database in which information on a first home screen displayed on the first display and information on a second home screen displayed on the second display are stored, and a controller that receives an input to enter a setting control mode for controlling settings of the home screens, acquires the information on the first home screen and the second home screen from the database in response to the input being received, and provides, through the first display, the information on the first home screen and the information on the second home screen in the setting control mode, wherein the first home screen is displayed on the first display by a first application and the second home screen is displayed on the first display by a second application.

A method in an electronic device comprises detecting, with one or more sensors, a geometry or geometric form factor defined by an amount a first device housing or first device housing portion of the electronic device is pivoted about a hinge or deformable portion relative to a second device housing or second device housing portion of the electronic device, as well as also detecting, with one or more other sensors, multiple persons within an environment of the electronic device. One or more processors then enable, in response to detecting the geometric form factor and the multiple persons within the environment, a dual content presentation mode of operation allowing presentation of first content on a first display of the electronic device and second content on a second display where the first content and the second content are different.

An information handling system and keyboard automatically coordinate wireless pairing when the keyboard couples to the information handling system to interface contacts exposed at the information handling system housing and the keyboard. The information handling system retrieves an identifier of the keyboard through a contact, determines if the keyboard is already paired, and if not initiates wireless pairing with a command through the contact. A pairing key is provided from the keyboard to the information handling system through the contact and applied by the information handling system to complete pairing. A confirm code is communicated through the contact to the keyboard for communication back to the information handling system by wireless signals. The contacts provide a charging path to charge the keyboard when coupled to the information handling system.

This invention is a smart watch with variable-configuration displays which combine to provide a larger combined display when needed. When a person does not need a large display area, then a plurality of displays on the watch fit around the person's wrist and/or arm in a relatively compact first configuration. When the person needs a larger display area, then the plurality of displays are moved into a second configuration which creates a large, coplanar, combined display.
