    Abstract: A hinge module includes a joint assembly, a first pivot, and a second pivot. The joint assembly includes a first joint washer, a second joint washer separate from and coplanar with the first joint washer, an interlock member having two elongated limiting holes, and two pins. The first joint washer has a first pivot hole and a first pin hole. The second joint washer has a second pivot hole and a second pin hole. The pins are respectively inserted into the first and second pin holes and movably pass through the limiting holes. The first and second pivots respectively pass through the first and second pivot holes. When the first joint washer is rotated around the first pivot, the corresponding pin moves the interlock member in a direction perpendicular to each limiting hole, thereby moving the other pin to rotate the second joint washer around the second pivot.

    Abstract: A flexible display device includes a base support of structurally flexible, a flexible display which is supported by and bendable with the base support, and at least one positioning mechanism disposed leftward or rightward of the base support. The positioning mechanism includes two mounts which are mounted to two support plates of the base support, a plurality of hinge bodies which are structurally flexible with a support rib unit of the base support, and a leaf spring unit extending through inside of the hinge bodies to terminate at a first spring end secured in one of the mounts, and a second spring end which is releasably and frictionally engaged inside the other one of the mounts by virtue of a sliding block and a spring-loaded unit.
