Abstract
A portable information handling system folds a flexible display over a hinge and selectively engages a brake that restricts hinge movement if a predetermined condition exists, such as a predetermined thermal state associate with potential damage to the flexible display. Heating and cooling elements increase or decrease the flexible display thermal state to fall within a constraint that supports folding and releases the hinge brake.
