Abstract: A supporting device includes a dual-shaft hinge module and two buffering modules respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the dual-shaft hinge module. Each dual-shaft hinge module includes two shafts, a linking member clamped between the two shafts, and two side wing members respectively and slidably installed on the two shafts. The two buffering modules are respectively installed on the two shafts and are respectively cooperated with the two side wing members. Each buffering module includes an internal connecting member fixed on and synchronously rotatable with the corresponding shaft and an external connecting member slidably disposed on the internal connecting member and provided to be fixed on a carrying plate. Each side wing member has a limiting portion passing through the corresponding internal connecting member and the corresponding external connecting member.

Abstract: A bendable support apparatus includes a support unit, at least one coaxially pivoting unit and at least one synchronously pivoting unit. The support unit includes a plurality of support members extending in a first direction and juxtaposed to each other. Each support member has opposite support and mounting major surfaces. The support major surfaces cooperatively define a support surface for a flexible display attached thereto. The coaxially pivoting unit includes a plurality of coaxially pivoting assemblies disposed to permit two adjacent support members to be coaxially pivoted to each other about a pivot axis at a neutral layer of the flexible display. The synchronously pivoting unit includes a plurality of synchronously pivoting assemblies each disposed among three adjacent support members to permit two lateral support members to be synchronously pivoted relative to a middle support member so as to shift the bendable support apparatus between unfolded and folded states.

Abstract: A bendable displaying apparatus of the present disclosure includes two housings, a supporting device, and a bendable display. The supporting device is fastened to the two housings and is arranged between the two housings. The supporting device includes a retainer, two supporting units, a first supporting plate, and two second supporting plates. The bendable display is disposed on the two housings, the first supporting plate, and the two second supporting plates. When the two housings are moved to stack with each other, the two housings drive the two supporting units to move the two second supporting plates along a direction away from each other and drives the retainer to downwardly move the first supporting plate, so that the two second supporting plates and the first supporting plate jointly form a space that provides the bendable display to deform therein.

Abstract: A bendable display apparatus includes two supporting devices and a bendable display mounted on the two supporting devices. Each supporting device includes a dual-shaft driving module and two buffering modules respectively arranged at two opposite outer sides of the dual-shaft driving module. The dual-shaft driving module includes two shafts parallel to each other and a synchronizing member sandwiched between the two shafts. Each buffering module includes an internal connecting member fixed on the synchronizing member, an external connecting member slidably disposed on the internal connecting member, and a linkage mechanism configured to be driven by the synchronizing shaft for moving the external connecting member relative to the internal connecting member. When the dual-shaft driving modules are rotated, the bendable display is bent while a length of the bendable display remains constant, and each external connecting member is moved relative to the corresponding internal connecting member.

Abstract: A hinge is connectable with two housing shells for permitting relative opening and closing of the housing shells, and includes a fixed seat, at least two rotating units, two lateral support plates and a center support plate. The rotating units are disposed at two sides of a centerline of the fixed seat and are connectable with the housing shells. The rotating units are shiftable between an open state and a closed state. Each rotating unit includes a linking member arcuately slidable on the fixed seat. The lateral support plates are mounted on the linking members, and have central notches. The center support plate is movably disposed on the fixed seat and is moved with the rotating units. In the open state, the center support plate is disposed in the central notches. In the closed state, the center support plate abuts against the fixed seat.

Abstract: A hinge synchronization module includes a base unit, and two hinge units. The two hinge units are connected to the base unit, and each of the hinge units has a gear member, a rotating platform, and a connecting member. The gear members of the hinge units mesh with each other. The rotating platform of each hinge unit has a platform body pivotable relative to the base unit. The connecting member of each hinge unit has a gear part mashing with the gear member of the hinge unit, and a slide hole. A slidable rod of the rotating platform of each hinge unit is disposed in and slidable along the slide hole of the connecting member of the hinge unit.

Abstract: A hinge device is adapted to be installed between two machine bodies that are mounted with a flexible display. The hinge device includes a base member, two rotating modules mounted respectively to opposite sides of the base member and adapted for the machine bodies to be mounted respectively thereto, and a central support plate disposed above the base member and connected between the rotating modules. The central support plate is drivable by the rotating modules to move relative to the base member from a supporting position, where the flexible display is flat and is supported thereby from below, to a receding position, where a display receiving space is provided for receiving a bent portion of the flexible display.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a base cover, a cover plate which is slidable relative to the base cover among a closed position, an open position, and a transition position, and a slide positioning mechanism which is configured for positioning the cover plate relative to the base cover, and which has first and second magnetically attractive units. When the cover plate is in a selected one of the closed and open positions, a magnetically attractive force is generated to position the cover plate in the selected one of the closed and open positions. When the cover plate is in the transition position, a magnetically repulsive force is generated to facilitate movement of the cover plate away from the transition position.

Abstract: An outward-folding display device includes two flat casings adapted to be connected to a flexible display, and two hinge units connected between the casings such that the casings are convertible between unfolded and folded positions. Each of the hinge units includes two rotatable drive shafts, and two compensation subunits each including a rotating plate that is co-rotatably connected to a respective one of the drive shafts, and a driven plate that is slidable relative to the rotating plate and that is connected to a respective one of the casings, such that during conversion of the casings, the driven plate and the respective one of the casings slide relative to the rotating plate to prevent the flexible display from being stretched and damaged.
