It seems like everybody wants to jump on the foldable bandwagon these days, and Dell is the latest manufacturer to apparently have such a 2-in-1 in the works, at least if a recently uncovered patent is anything to go by. The broad idea is for a 2-in-1 which comprises of two portions that support a flexible display (an OLED affair), featuring a central hinge between the aforementioned two portions which is built around “five geared rotational hinge elements” that facilitate the folding action. Dell engineers observe: “In order to support OLED film display during folding, OLED film is coupled to a display frame structure having first and second display frames couple together with a flexible support disposed between display frames at the location of the fold of OLED film display.” Which is a fancy way of saying that the OLED display will be supported and have its integrity maintained by the display frame structure during folding, backed up by a ‘flexible support’ which could possibly...
