Abstract: An example display assembly includes: a continuous display including: a first rigid segment attached to and substantially coplanar with an inner surface of a first assembly of the folding device; a second rigid segment attached to and substantially coplanar with an inner surface of a second assembly of the folding device; a primary flexible segment; a third rigid segment disposed between the second rigid segment and the primary flexible segment; and a fourth rigid segment disposed between the first rigid segment and the primary flexible segment; a primary supporting plate attached to the continuous display; a first supplemental supporting plate attached to the primary supporting plate adjacent to the third rigid segment; and a second supplemental supporting plate attached to the primary supporting plate adjacent to the fourth rigid segment.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at trimless foldable displays. In aspects, a foldable electronic device includes a foldable display structure having a cover layer and a display panel positioned thereunder. At least portions of the cover layer may extend beyond one or more edges of the display panel. The foldable electronic device may further include a first compliant material disposed (i) between the housing and the display panel and (ii) underneath the at least portions of the cover layer that extend beyond the one or more edges of the display panel. Through such an implementation, the display panel of the foldable electronic device may be protected by the cover glass and/or the first compliant material. As a result, the foldable electronic device can do away with a display trim that would otherwise surround a perimeter of the display.
