Flexible display overcenter assembly

A foldable electronic device, comprising:

• a flexible display that folds into a closed position of the foldable electronic device;
• a first housing part integrated with a first section of the flexible display, the first housing part including a first flange;
• a second housing part integrated with a second section of the flexible display, the second housing part including a second flange, the first and second flanges being foldable to form a radius that supports the flexible display in a closed position of the foldable electronic device;
• a flexure structure, the flexure structure comprising pivotable links, that supports the flexible display in an open position of the foldable electronic device;
• and
• hinge assemblies that movably couple the first housing part and the second housing part of the foldable electronic device, the flexible display further configured to bend through a pivot axis of the hinge assemblies when the first and second housing parts of the foldable electronic device are closed.

A method, comprising:

• folding a first flange that is integrated in a first housing part of a foldable electronic device with a second flange that is integrated in a second housing part of the foldable electronic device, the foldable electronic device including a flexible display that is integrated in the first and second housing parts of the foldable electronic device;
• hinging the first and second flanges of the foldable electronic device with hinge assemblies that are operable to movably couple the first and second housing parts of the foldable electronic device, the flexible display bending through a pivot axis of the hinge assemblies, the first and second flanges forming a radius that supports the flexible display, when the first and second housing parts of the foldable electronic device are closed;
• and
• supporting the flexible display with a flexure structure of pivotable links capable of enabling the foldable electronic device to be placed in an open position.
