A computing device , comprising:a first portion comprising a first display;a second portion comprising a second display and a camera, the second portion connected to the first portion via a hinge;a hinge angle sensing mechanism comprising one or more sensors;a logic device; and receive sensor data from the one or more sensors;', 'based at least in part on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors, determine a device pose;', 'output the camera application to the first display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being world-facing; and', 'output the camera application to the second display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being user-facing., 'a storage device holding instructions executable by the logic device to execute a camera application and to'}2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable todetect a change in device pose; andwhen the change in device pose is indicative of a camera direction changing from a world-facing direction to a user-facing direction, then move the camera application from the first display to the second display.3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the ...

Hinged Electronic Device with Moving Support Plates for a Flexible Display and Corresponding Systems

An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing. Each can optionally define a linear recess. A hinge couples the first device housing to the second device housing. The first device housing is pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing. A flexible display is situated in the linear recess, where included, and spans the hinge. The hinge includes a cam, a first support plate pivotally coupled to a first side of the cam, and a second support plate pivotally coupled to a second side of the cam. The first support plate, the cam, and the second support plate bridge the linear recess of each device housing when the electronic device is in an axially displaced open position, but define boundaries within which the flexible display defines a service loop when the electronic device is in a closed position. 1. An electronic device , comprising:a first device housing and a second device housing;a hinge coupling the first device housing to the second device housing, the first device housing pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing; a cam;', 'a first support plate pivotally coupled to a first side of the cam and extending distally into the first device housing from the first side of the cam; and', 'a second support plate pivotally coupled to a second side of the cam and extending distally into the second device housing from the second side of the cam;, 'the hinge comprisingwherein each of the first device housing and the second device housing define a support plate receiving recess comprising an inclined plane;wherein a distal end of each of the first support plate and the second support plate travels along the inclined plane between a first position within the first device housing and the second device housing, respectively, to a second position within the first device housing and the second device housing, respectively, when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge from ...

Support plate and foldable display

A support plate includes a support plate body and a plurality of through holes. The support plate body has at least one patterned region. The plurality of through holes are disposed in the at least one patterned region, and penetrate through the support plate body in a thickness direction of the support plate body. A projection of each through hole on a first plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the support plate body is strip-shaped.
