Abstract: There is provided an electronic device (10), comprising a foldable housing configured to fold along an axis, a flexible display (14) having first and second display regions (126, 129) separated by a bend region (110) that overlaps the axis. The flexible display (14) is operable in a closed configuration (125) in which the first and second display regions (126, 129) face each other and an open configuration (123) in which the first and second display regions (126, 129) are oriented at a non-zero angle with respect to one another. The electronic device (10) also comprises a hinge (144) aligned with the axis and configured to hold the flexible display (14) in the open configuration (123).

Abstract: There is provided an electronic device (10). The electronic device has a display (14) having an array of pixels that form an active area (112, 114), and first and second inactive areas (118) within the display (14), wherein the first and second inactive areas are bordered by pixels of the array of pixels on at least two sides. The electronic device also has opaque masking material in the first and second inactive areas (118) and an organic light-emitting diode interposed between the first and second inactive areas (118).

Abstract: Sensor assemblies for electronic devices are described. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies include solid-state sensors, such as capacitive sensors, piezoelectric sensors or piezoresistive sensors. The sensor assemblies can include a number of features that provide a compact profile, making them well suited for integration into small spaces of electronic device enclosures. The sensor assemblies can also include features that isolate movement of various parts of the sensor assemblies, allowing for accurate detection of a sensing event. According to some embodiments, the sensor assemblies are coupled to haptic actuators, speaker, or both, which mimic the feel of a mechanical button and enhance a user's experience.
