Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to a magnetic shearing solution allowing integrated folding and/or seamless design for foldable or bendable display form factor devices are described. In an embodiment, rows of magnets disposed between adjoining surfaces of a display device and a computing device chassis are to magnetically couple the devices to maintain the attachment of the devices when they are flexed. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a first plurality of rows of magnets disposed on a first surface of a display device,
- wherein a second plurality of rows of magnets, disposed on a first surface of a chassis, is to magnetically couple to the first plurality of rows of magnets.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first plurality of rows of magnets disposed on a first surface of a chassis,
- wherein a second plurality of rows of magnets, disposed on a first surface of a display device, is to magnetically couple to the first plurality of rows of magnets.
A computing system comprising:
- a chassis to house one or more processor cores, memory, a battery, a wireless communication device;
- and
- a display device coupled to the chassis via a magnetic coupling to be established between a first plurality of magnets, disposed on a first surface of the display device, and a second plurality of magnets disposed on a first surface of the chassis.
