    摘要: An electronic device includes: a first display, a transmission assembly, and at least two second displays. The first display includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The at least two second displays are connected to the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly drives the at least two second displays to move between first positions and second positions. When the at least two second displays are located at the first positions, at least part of each of the least two second displays is covered by a orthographic projection of the first display along a perpendicular direction of the second surface. When the at least two second displays are located at the second positions, at least two second displays are located on an periphery of the first display and abut against an outer peripheral wall of the first display.

    摘要: A foldable touch screen display device made up of flexible segments that can be folded from a compact state to an expanded state which also includes electromechanical slip rings. The form factor of the compact state is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of the expanded state is roughly the size of a larger phone or tablet computer, which may also have the size and mechanical functionality of a laptop. The device form factor may also be a flip phone configuration. Both folded states may include an integrated speaker and microphone. The electromechanical slip rings are utilized to provide multiple electrical connections between the device's display segments and their respective support structures. The device may further include sensors to indicate the position of each display segment. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with at least one segment of the flexible display or rigid display may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system, which may be used in any folded state.

    摘要: A foldable hinge includes a base and two folding assemblies. The two folding assemblies are located on two sides of the base, are both connected to the base, and are capable of being opened or closed relative to each other. Each of the two folding assemblies includes a first swing arm, a second swing arm, a synchronous gear, and a support component. The first swing arm is pivotally connected to the base. The second swing arm is pivotally connected to the base. The synchronous gear is located in the base, and the first swing arm and the second swing arm are connected through transmission by using the synchronous gear. The support component is pivotally connected to the first swing arm, is linked to the second swing arm, and is capable of rotating relative to the first swing arm under an action of the second swing arm.
