Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at internal hardware configurations for foldable devices. In aspects, a foldable electronic device includes a housing, defining an internal cavity within which a battery is disposed, and one or more displays that are fixed to the housing, forming at least one internal cavity. The foldable electronic device further includes one or more battery cell tabs that are arranged in an unfolded configuration and extend from the battery to a power control module positioned underneath a display control module that is mounted to the display. Through such a configuration, an internal volume within the internal cavity can be more-efficiently occupied by increasing a battery capacity or reducing a dimensional profile of the foldable electronic device.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at trimless foldable displays. In aspects, a foldable electronic device includes a foldable display structure having a cover layer and a display panel positioned thereunder. At least portions of the cover layer may extend beyond one or more edges of the display panel. The foldable electronic device may further include a first compliant material disposed (i) between the housing and the display panel and (ii) underneath the at least portions of the cover layer that extend beyond the one or more edges of the display panel. Through such an implementation, the display panel of the foldable electronic device may be protected by the cover glass and/or the first compliant material. As a result, the foldable electronic device can do away with a display trim that would otherwise surround a perimeter of the display.

Abstract: An example folding device includes a first assembly; a second assembly; a hinge assembly comprising: a first gear defining a first gear axis; a first scoop receiver defining a first scoop axis; and a continuous display spanning the hinge assembly from the first assembly to the second assembly; and first assembly linkage components comprising: a first arm having a. medial end rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the first gear axis and a lateral end slidably connected to the first assembly; and a first scoop having a. curved medial end that slides within the first scoop receiver about the first scoop axis and a lateral end rotatably connected to the first assembly about a first scoop rotating center.
