Abstract
A computing device includes a flexible display supported by first and second display-supporting frames that are rotatably coupled via a spine. Each display-supporting frame comprises a backplate opposite the flexible display. Each display-supporting frame is coupled to a respective translation mechanism, and each translation mechanism is configured to translate the respective display-supporting frame relative to the spine as the display-supporting frame is rotated relative to the spine. A respective moveable slider plate for each display-supporting frame is biased into contact with the spine to cover at least a portion of an aperture at least partially defined by a leading edge of the respective backplate of the display-supporting frame and the spine.
