Abstract
An electronic device (10) may include a flexible display (14) mounted to a foldable housing. The foldable housing may include first and second housing portions (12-1, 12-2) coupled by a hinge (30) that is aligned with the bend axis (28). The hinge (30) may include rollers (48) and interdigitated friction leaves (68) that rotate about multiple axes of rotation. The hinge (30) may include shafts that are received by the leaves and that are each aligned with a respective one of the axes of rotation. Some of the leaves (68) may include gears (78) for imposing synchronous motion of the first and second housing portions (12-1, 12-2), while other leaves may include hard stop structures (80) for imposing an open position hard stop and a closed position hard stop. In some arrangements, the leaves (68) may include a vertical slot (88) that receives a mutual pin and provides both synchronous motion functionality and hard stop functionality.
