    Abstract: A foldable device includes a housing and a foldable display device coupled to the housing. The foldable display device includes a foldable display layer, a foldable glass layer on a first side of the foldable display layer, and a sensing device on a second side of the foldable display layer. The sensing device includes a strain gauge layer. The strain gauge layer includes an array of resistors arranged on a piezoresistive substrate. Changes in resistance levels measured by the array of resistors are used to detect faults such as scratches, punctures, cracks and the like in the foldable glass layer. The foldable device may output an alert in response to detection of a fault in the foldable glass layer.

    Abstract: An example display assembly includes: a continuous display including: a first rigid segment attached to and substantially coplanar with an inner surface of a first assembly of the folding device; a second rigid segment attached to and substantially coplanar with an inner surface of a second assembly of the folding device; a primary flexible segment; a third rigid segment disposed between the second rigid segment and the primary flexible segment; and a fourth rigid segment disposed between the first rigid segment and the primary flexible segment; a primary supporting plate attached to the continuous display; a first supplemental supporting plate attached to the primary supporting plate adjacent to the third rigid segment; and a second supplemental supporting plate attached to the primary supporting plate adjacent to the fourth rigid segment.

    Abstract: A foldable display of a computing device includes a back stiffening layer, a transparent frontplate layer, a transparent cover window layer, and an OLED display layer disposed between the back stiffening layer and the transparent frontplate layer. The OLED display layer characterized by a Young's modulus that is lower than the Young's modulus of the transparent frontplate layer and that is lower than the Young's modulus of the back stiffening layer; a neutral plane of the foldable display is located within the OLED display layer.
