Abstract
A foldable touch screen display device made up of flexible or tiled display segments that can be folded from a compact state to an expanded state which also includes a 360 degree camera system. The form factor of the compact state is roughly the size of a typical handheld phone or smaller. The form factor of the expanded state is roughly the size of a larger phone or tablet computer, which may also include the mechanical functionality of a laptop. The device form factor may also be a flip phone configuration. Both folded states may include an integrated speaker and microphone. The 360 degree camera utilizes the inherent folded segment positions and their respective cameras such that they can be configured at different angles to achieve the appropriate camera array geometry. The device may further include sensors to indicate the position of each display segment. In one embodiment, a module attached to, situated within, or otherwise associated with at least one segment of the flexible display or rigid display may contain all or substantially all processing and memory, along with a communications system, which may be used in any folded state.
