US Patent 11086361 Summary

• Title: Flexible and rigid touch screen display computing devices
• Assignee: Lepton Computing LLC
• Inventors: Stephen E. Delaporte
• Filing Date: 2021-02-09
• Issue Date: 2021-08-10
• Abstract: The patent describes reconfigurable touch screen computing devices with folding configurations that include flexible and rigid displays made up of segments. These devices can be reconfigured from a compact state, roughly the size of a handheld phone with an integrated speaker and microphone, to an expanded state, which is approximately the size of a tablet computer and may offer the mechanical functionality of a laptop. Both states feature a touch screen display on the front and a protective housing on the back. The computing devices also incorporate sensors to indicate the configuration state and mechanisms for alignment, locking, and structural support. A module within at least one segment contains core processing, memory, and a communications system, usable in both states.
