Flexible display panels

A method comprising:

• receiving a trigger event associated with a deployment of a platform of a lid portion of a computing device rotatably coupled to a base portion of the computing device, the platform being covered by a flexible display panel disposed in the lid portion;
• and
• in response to the trigger event, deploying the platform from a retracted position to a deployed position through an aperture of the lid portion,
• wherein a first end of the flexible display panel is attached to the lid portion, wherein an interface region between the flexible display panel and an upper side of the lid portion is greater in the deployed position than in the retracted position.

A computing device comprising:

• a base portion;
• a lid portion rotatably coupled to the base portion, the lid portion comprising:
• a platform;
• an aperture to receive the platform;
• a flexible display panel to cover an upper side of the lid portion and a lower side of the platform, wherein a first end of the flexible display panel on the upper side is attached to the lid portion;
• a track along a lateral side of the lid portion;
• and
• a protruding element on a lateral side of the platform;
• wherein the protruding element is movable along the track between a first position and a second position, wherein upon a movement of the protruding element from the first position towards the second position, the flexible display panel is to extend away from the aperture.
