Internal Hardware Configurations within Foldable Electronic Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18671124 titled 'Internal Hardware Configurations within Foldable Electronic Devices

The patent application describes systems and techniques for internal hardware configurations in foldable devices.

  • A foldable electronic device includes a housing with an internal cavity for a battery and one or more displays fixed to the housing.
  • The device also includes battery cell tabs arranged in an unfolded configuration, extending from the battery to a power control module positioned under a display control module mounted to the display.
  • This configuration allows for more efficient use of the internal volume within the cavity, enabling increased battery capacity or reduced dimensional profile of the device.

Original Abstract Submitted

This document describes systems and techniques directed at internal hardware configurations for foldable devices. In aspects, a foldable electronic device includes a housing, defining an internal cavity within which a battery is disposed, and one or more displays that are fixed to the housing, forming at least one internal cavity. The foldable electronic device further includes one or more battery cell tabs that are arranged in an unfolded configuration and extend from the battery to a power control module positioned underneath a display control module that is mounted to the display. Through such a configuration, an internal volume within the internal cavity can be more-efficiently occupied by increasing a battery capacity or reducing a dimensional profile of the foldable electronic device.
