Abstract
Described herein are a structure and method for to provide support for a flexible display of an information handling system. Several layers of the flexible display are stacked with a metal foil. The metal foil provides support and bending as defined by design requirements of the flexible display. Particular areas of the metal foil have specific thickness and/or density based on the design requirements. The bending area is allowed to be bent or folded over with thickness and/or density to allow such.

A support structure for a flexible display of an information handling system comprising:
- multiple layers included in the flexible display;
- a metal foil stacked up with the multiple layers, wherein the metal foil comprises:
- a bending area as defined by design requirements of the flexible display;
- and
- other areas as defined the design requirements, wherein the bending area and other areas have particular thicknesses and/or densities based on the design requirements.
An information handling system comprising:
- a flexible display that comprises:
- multiple layers;
- a metal foil stacked up with the multiple layers, wherein the metal foil comprises:
- a bending area as defined by design requirements of the flexible display;
- and
- other areas as defined the design requirements, wherein the bending area and other areas have particular thicknesses and/or densities based on the design requirements.
A method for providing support and bending of flexible displays of information handling systems comprising:
- determining design requirements are determined for the flexible display;
- determining bending area of the flexible display;
- forming thickness and/or density at particular areas of a metal foil based on the design requirements;
