A computing device includes a flexible display supported by first and second display-supporting frames that are rotatably coupled via a spine. Each display-supporting frame comprises a backplate opposite the flexible display. Each display-supporting frame is coupled to a respective translation mechanism, and each translation mechanism is configured to translate the respective display-supporting frame relative to the spine as the display-supporting frame is rotated relative to the spine. A respective moveable slider plate for each display-supporting frame is biased into contact with the spine to cover at least a portion of an aperture at least partially defined by a leading edge of the respective backplate of the display-supporting frame and the spine.
A foldable computing device, comprising:
A method for covering at least a portion of an aperture in a foldable computing device, the aperture at least partially defined by a first leading edge of a first backplate and a spine of the computing device, the computing device comprising a flexible display supported by a first display-supporting frame and a second display-supporting frame, the first display-supporting frame comprising the first backplate opposite to the flexible display, the second display-supporting frame comprising a second backplate opposite to the flexible display, the first display-supporting frame rotatably coupled to the second display-supporting frame via the spine, the method comprising:
A computing device foldable through 360 degrees, the computing device comprising:
