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.

Abstract: A computing device includes memory configured for storing executable instructions, a processor configured for executing the instructions, a foldable display layer configured for displaying information in response to the execution of the instructions, and a bend limit layer coupled to the foldable display layer and arranged substantially parallel to a display surface of the foldable display layer. The bend limit layer is configured to increase its stiffness non-linearly when a radius of a bend of the bend limit layer is less than a threshold radius of curvature of the foldable display layer, the threshold radius of curvature being greater than 1 mm and less than 20 mm.

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.
