Abstract
The description relates to hinged devices. One example can include a flexible display extending over a major surface of a first portion across a hinge assembly and over a major surface of a second portion. The hinge assembly can include a pair of hinge sub-assemblies that include elongate slider links that extend along a length from proximal ends that are rotationally secured to the hinge assembly to distal ends that are slideably secured to the first portion. The hinge assembly can also include an auxiliary hinge sub-assembly interposed between the pair of hinge sub-assemblies and comprising a truncated elongate slider link that extends along a length that is less than the length of the elongate slider links and extends from a proximal end that is rotationally secured to the hinge assembly to the distal end that is slideably secured in the first portion.
