Abstract
Expandable touch screen display devices each having a flexible display that can be reconfigured from a compact state to an expanded state which also includes an actuator that can be controlled wirelessly and through machine learning algorithms. The form factor of the compact state for each device is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of the expanded state for each device is roughly the size of a larger phone or tablet computer. An internal actuator is provided for driving the motion of each device's change in size, whether through folding or sliding, or for other functions such as haptic feedback. The device may further include an integrated speaker and microphone, and sensors to indicate the expanded position of the display. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with the device may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system.
