    Abstract: An example folding device (100) includes a hinge assembly (106), a first assembly (102), and a second assembly (104). The hinge assembly (106) defines a first axis (108) and a second axis (110). The first assembly (102) includes a first arm (112), formed from a first material and rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the first axis, a first main housing component (114), and a first divider (116) disposed between the first arm (112) and the first main housing component (114). The first main housing component (114) is formed from a second material that is different than the first material. The second assembly (104) includes a second arm (118), formed from the first material and rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the second axis, a second main housing component (120), and a second divider (122) disposed between the second arm (118) and the second main housing component (120). The second main housing component (120) is formed from a second material that is different than the first material. Folding device (100) may include housing components formed from different materials with different properties (e.g. strength, weight, thermal conductivity, galvanic isolation, etc.) to address one or more of the disadvantages (e.g. thickness, weight, thermal performance, wireless transmission performance, reliability, complexity, cost, etc.) while achieving a continuous color appearance.

    Abstract: A foldable device may include a foldable layer and a hinge system that is positioned between a first body and a second body of the foldable device. The hinge device may include a first hinge section and a second hinge section. The first hinge section and the second hinge section may include a rigid, planar body. A third hinge section may be positioned in a space between the first hinge section and the second hinge section. The third hinge section may include a rigid, contoured body.

    Abstract: A hinge assembly defining a first axis and a second axis; a first assembly rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the first axis; a second assembly rotatably connected to the hinge assembly about the second axis, wherein, when the folding device is fully opened about the hinge assembly, an inner surface of the first assembly is coplanar with an inner surface of the second assembly; a flexible continuous display spanning an inner surface of the first assembly and an inner surface of the second assembly; and a camera having an aperture located in a bezel of the second assembly that borders the flexible continuous display.
