The present disclosure relates to a folding plate and a method for manufacturing same, the folding plate, which is provided with a plurality of support plates and a plurality of flexible support plates connecting same, being used in multi-fold-type foldable phones to effectively impart heat-dissipation and support functions for a display.

The present disclosure relates to a foldable display apparatus. A foldable display includes: a display layer disposed on the top surface of a flexible substrate; an encapsulation layer covering the display layer; and a back plate disposed under the bottom surface of the flexible substrate, the back plate includes: a reference plane; a first folding plane disposed at one side of the reference plane; a second folding plane disposed at another side of the reference plane; a first bending part disposed between the reference plane and the first folding plane and having a first bending radius; and a second bending part disposed between the reference plane and the second folding plane and having a second bending radius, wherein the first folding plane is thinner than the reference plane.

The present invention relates generally to systems and devices for a computer interface and digital display. The display is designed such that its physical size can be altered based upon the needs of a user. For example, the display may be able to fold or roll up when it is not needed, to allow the device to be more portable, while unfolding or unrolling when additional display area is desired.

A mobile device includes a first display portion, a second display portion and a graphics processor. The first display portion is viewable while the second display portion is obscured when the mobile device is in a retracted configuration. Both display portions are viewable when the mobile device is in an expanded configuration. The graphics processor may be coupled to each display portion and configured to generate a first image for display on: the first display portion when the mobile device is in the retracted configuration; at least one of the display portions while the mobile device is in the expanded configuration; and at least one of the display portions while the mobile device transitions between the retracted configuration and the expanded configuration. The second display portion may be a flexible display material, such as an OLED display and with the first display portion may be a single sheet OLED display.

A connecting system of a multi-section housing provided at one end face of a first and second housing superposed with their display surfaces at the outsides, comprising: a first shaft vertical to superposed surfaces of first and second housing; and a second shaft perpendicular to the first shaft, wherein if a center line of the first shaft is arranged on a line bisecting the end face to the left and right and the center line of the second shaft is arranged on the superposed surfaces of the first and second housing, the first shaft can be used to allow the second housing superposed over the first housing to be rotated by 180 degrees and, in this state, the first housing can be made to rotate by the second shaft by 180 degrees so as to arrange the display surfaces of the first and second housings on the same plane.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device, such as a notebook computer or laptop, that includes a circuit board coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which includes any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular example implementation of the electronic device may include a first housing, a hinge, and a second housing. The second housing can be rotatably coupled to the first housing using the hinge. The second housing can include a first portion, a second hinge, and a second portion. The second portion can be rotatably coupled to the first portion using the second hinge. In an embodiment, the second portion can rotate over the keyboard and the second housing can rotate behind the display. In another embodiment, the second portion can rotate over the key-board and the second housing can rotate in front of the display such that only a portion of display is visible.

A connecting system of a multi-section housing of an electronic device comprising: shafts between first and second housing sections and between third and fourth housing sections of superposed first to fourth housing sections to enable one section to be rotated 180 degrees with respect to another section after sliding superposed housing sections apart; first hinges which connect end faces of the second and third housing sections to be able to be rotated; and second hinges which connect opposite side end faces of the first and fourth housing sections, wherein the shafts enable the second and third housing sections to be slid with respect to the first and fourth housing sections and, in the finished slid state, the first and second hinges enable the second and third housing sections and first and fourth housing sections to be rotated about the shafts while being opened to thereby form a single flat surface.

A method for providing haptic feedback at a portable electronic device including a touch-sensitive display and a physical keyboard comprising depressible keys and touch sensors for detecting touches thereon, is provided. In response to detecting a first touch on the physical keyboard, which physical keyboard is moveable relative to the touch-sensitive display, between a first position in which the physical keyboard is exposed for use and a second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein the first touch is associated with haptic feedback, first haptic feedback is provided to the physical keyboard. In response to detecting a second touch on the touch-sensitive display when the physical keyboard is in the second position in which the physical keyboard is not exposed, wherein the second touch is associated with haptic feedback, second haptic feedback is provided to the touch-sensitive display.

An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing. A hinge, which can be a multi-link hinge, couples the first device housing to the second device housing. The first device housing is pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing. A flexible display is coupled to the first device housing and the second device housing and spans the hinge. The flexible display is to deform when the first device housing pivots about the hinge relative to the second device housing.

A multiple screen arrangement for a mobile device that includes a screen module and a communication module for communicatively linking the screen module with the mobile device. The screen module includes first and second screens movably coupled with each other between a first state and a second state, wherein at the first state, the second screen is overlapped behind the first screen in a single screen size manner, and at the second state, the first and second screens are moved side-by-side to provide two viewing windows. The communication module is adapted for receiving data from the mobile device to be displayed on at least one of the first and second screens, such that the first and second screens are adapted for selectively displaying the data from the mobile device between the first state and said second state.
