An electronic device may include: a foldable housing including a hinge, a first housing connected to the hinge and including a first surface oriented in a first direction and a second surface oriented in a second direction opposite the first direction, a second housing connected to the hinge and including a third surface oriented in a third direction and a fourth surface oriented in a fourth direction opposite the third direction, wherein the second housing is configured to be folded on the first housing about the hinge, and side surfaces surrounding at least a part of a space between the first surface and the second surface and at least a part of a space between the third surface and the fourth surface; and a display having ductility and extending from the first surface to the third surface to configure the first surface and the third surface, wherein the foldable housing is disposed along an edge of the display and includes bezels extending from respective side surfaces to an active area of the display, and wherein the bezels include, in an area configuring the first surface and the third surface of the foldable housing, extensions spaced apart from edge portions of the display, and support portions disposed between the edge of the display and the extensions to be in contact with the edge portions of the display.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HINGE MODULE
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may includes: a first housing in which a display module is disposed; a second housing in which a circuit board and a cooling fan connected to the circuit board are accommodated, where a first opening is defined in the second housing to introduce air into the cooling fan; and a hinge module rotatably connected to the first housing and the second housing, and disposed adjacent to the first opening. The hinge module may includes: a hinge housing in which a first hinge opening is defined to be connected to the first opening; a first main gear disposed in the hinge housing and operably connected to the first housing; a second main gear operably connected to the second housing and configured to rotate in correspondence with the first main gear; a driving gear disposed adjacent to at least one of the first main gear or the second main gear and rotatable in correspondence with at least one of the first main gear or the second main gear; and a first cover plate disposed in the hinge housing and including a first rack gear area which meshes with the driving gear. The electronic device may be switchable between a closed state in which an angle formed by the first housing and the second housing is less than a predetermined angle and an open state in which the angle formed by the first housing and the second housing is equal to or greater than the predetermined angle. When the electronic device is in the closed state, the first cover plate is disposed to overlap with at least part of the first hinge opening. When the electronic device is in the open state, the first cover plate may be spaced apart from the first hinge opening, and the first hinge opening may be opened.
Cover apparatus
A cover apparatus for controlling airflow in a computing system. The cover apparatus includes a cover bracket configured to attach to the computing system in alignment with an opening of a module within the computing system. The cover bracket defines an aperture through which one or more components can be inserted into and removed from the module. The cover apparatus includes a cover door attached to the cover bracket and configured to rotate relative to the cover bracket between an open position and a closed position. The cover door closes the first aperture of the cover bracket with the cover door in the closed position. The cover apparatus includes a catch configured to apply a force to the cover door in the closed position. The force is sufficient to maintain the cover door in the closed position but allows a user to manually open the cover door for accessing the module.
Method for providing screen using foldable display and electronic device for supporting same
