A flexible electronic device includes a flexible shaft including a first side and a second side not parallel to each other, and a flexible screen coupled to the first side. The first side deforms with a rotation of the flexible shaft and the second side does not deform with the rotation of the flexible shaft. The flexible screen deforms in synchronism with a deformation of the first side.

Flexible electronic device

A flexible device is provided according to the present application, which includes a first sliding shaft, a second sliding shaft, a middle sliding shaft group and a connecting member group. The middle sliding shaft group includes multiple middle sliding shafts arranged in rows. The middle sliding shaft group is movably connected to the first sliding shaft and the second sliding shaft by the connecting member group. The flexible device can be bent along an extending direction of the middle sliding shaft group, and a bent portion of the flexible device is always of an arc-shaped structure. The flexible device according to the present application adopts a mechanical structure to realize a bending deformation thus can avoid problems of a degraded bending performance and breakage generated after the flexible device is frequently used in the conventional technology. An electronic device employing the flexible device is further provided.

Electronic device and flexible device

One embodiment provides a deformable housing, including a recess for holding a deformable device; a deformable portion comprising at least two surfaces having a plurality of concave/convex structures; and at least two support parts embedded in the deformable portion. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Housing for flexible device

An apparatus to support a flexible screen of an electronic device includes a plurality of shafts, a plurality of rows of first connecting members, and a plurality of rows of second connecting members. Each first and second connecting member has a top side, a bottom side, a left aperture and a right aperture extending from the top side to the bottom side, with each aperture coupled to a shaft. The width of the apertures for each second connecting member is greater than the width of the apertures for each first connecting member. The plurality of shafts are connected to each other by alternate rows of first connecting members and second connecting members along the length of the shafts. Each connecting member in a row of connecting members overlaps with two connecting members in an adjacent row of connecting members.
