A flexible display that can be adjusted by an electromagnetic mechanism to remove a deformation is disclosed. The flexible display is attached to a body that is configurable in a folded configuration or an unfolded configuration by a hinge mechanism. When unfolded the flexible display includes a deformation (i.e., warp) in an area around the hinge mechanism. Accordingly, an electromagnet is included with the hinge mechanism to remove the deformation by attracting a magnetic element is disposed on a back surface of the flexible display.

Flexible display with electromagnetic adjustment

In a general aspect, a foldable display device may include a processor, a memory, a first housing having a first end portion and a second end portion, a first length extending between the first end portion and the second end portion of the first housing, a second housing having a first end portion and a second end portion, a second length extending between the first end portion and the second end portion of the second housing, the second length being different than the first length, a flexible display coupled to the first housing and the second housing, and a hinge assembly coupled to the first housing and the second housing for relative rotation of the first housing and the second housing. The hinge assembly may include a slider, a lever attached to the slider, a set of gears disposed on the slider, and a linkage member connecting the lever and the set of gears together. Upon the relative rotation occurring in a first direction by the second housing, the set of gears rotates and causes the lever to move translationally move the first housing in a first linear direction, and upon the relative rotation occurring in a second direction by the second housing, the set of gears rotates and causes the lever to move translationally move in a second linear direction, the second linear direction being opposite to the first linear direction.

Display device including a hinge mechanism with gear-link and slider

An electronic device includes: a processor; a memory; a first body portion; a second body portion coupled to the first body portion by a hinge, the second body portion including a plate; a slider having a slot therein, wherein the plate slidingly engages with the slot to facilitate the slider assuming at least first and second positions relative to the second body portion; and a flexible display attached to the first body portion and the slider, wherein the flexible display has a substantially planar configuration in the first position of the slider and a substantially folded configuration in the second position of the slider.

Electronic device with flexible display

An electronic device includes: a processor; a memory; a first body member; a second body member; a flexible display, wherein a first portion of the flexible display is mounted to the first body member, and wherein a second portion of the flexible display is mounted to the second body member; a shaft mounted to the second body member; a hinge coupled to the first and second body members; a first arm having a first pivot with the first body member; and a threaded coupling between the first arm and the shaft.

Methods and systems are provided for an improved user interface for displaying and scaling selectable software commands and controls in at least one of a first ribbon and a second ribbon. Underneath a first ribbon of top-level command tabs, selectable controls associated with a selected command tab are presented in logical subgroups or chunks. The selectable controls within the chunks are granularly scaled to accommodate different screen sizes or changes in window size. The scaling includes moving a subset of the selectable controls within at least one of the chunks between an overflow pane and the second ribbon.

Command user interface for displaying and scaling selectable controls and commands

A system and machine-implemented method for providing a font is provided. A request is received from a client device to download a font. The requested font is accessed, where the accessed font includes a corresponding character map and a corresponding glyph table. A supported character list and a modified font based on the corresponding character map, the modified font is compressed, and the supported character list and the compressed modified font are sent to the client device. Character data is also sent to the client device, wherein the character data is for merging the at least one character into the modified font based on information in the character data.
