Abstract

An electronic device (10) may include a flexible display (14) having first and second display portions (14P-1, 14P-2) that rotate relative to one another about a bend axis (28). The flexible display (14) may be mounted to a foldable housing (12) having first and second housing portions (60) coupled by a hinge (30) that is aligned with the bend axis (28). The foldable housing (12) is operable in a flat state and a folded state. A translation assembly (306) may be configured to slide the display (14) relative to the housing (12) as the device (10) moves between flat and folded states. A compression assembly (42) may be used to apply compression to the flexible display (14) when the foldable housing (12) is in the folded state. A tension assembly (44) may be used to apply tension to the flexible display (14) when the foldable housing (12) is in the flat state. If desired, the translation (306), compression (42), and tension (44) assemblies may be combined into a module.
