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: This document describes systems and techniques directed at user-exposed and variably-thick cover glass for foldable displays. In aspects, a foldable display structure includes a glass layer and an optically-clear adhesive disposed thereunder. The glass layer includes a first groove on a top face along a first plane and a second groove on a bottom face along the first plane. In implementations, the first groove and the second groove form a variable thickness in the glass layer along a dimension of the glass layer perpendicular to the first plane sufficient to define a foldable region. Through such an implementation, the glass layer may be exposed to an external environment, improving a durability, material-finish, and a reliability of foldable display structures.

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.
