Abstract:
A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge subassembly including a hinge mechanism and a sliding mechanism. The hinge mechanism may include a plurality of hinge segments, arranged in a plurality of rows, and with adjacent hinge segments movably coupled by a plurality of joint assemblies, based on a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration of the foldable device. The sliding mechanism may be coupled to the hinge mechanism, to provide for further adjustment of relative positions of the plurality of hinge segments based on the folded and unfolded configuration of the foldable device.
