AI Technical Summary
Existing foldable electronic devices face challenges in minimizing bezel size and achieving an appealing external appearance due to the placement of hinge structures on the sides of the display, which increases the display's bezel area and complicates the external design when dealing with varying display lengths.
A foldable display device with a hinge structure positioned below the display, utilizing a saw-toothed spur gear mechanism and guide structures that allow the housings to fold and unfold while minimizing bezel size, and featuring a hinge housing that is either covered or exposed based on the device's configuration.
The solution effectively reduces bezel size, maximizes display area, and enhances the external appearance by strategically positioning the hinge structure under the display, allowing for a more appealing and functional design.
