Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a device housing assembly comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing; and
a hinge coupling the first housing to the second housing, the first housing pivotable about the hinge relative to the second housing between a folded closed position and an unfolded open position;

a sensor configured to detect the device housing assembly in an unfolded open position;
a first blade assembly carrying a first blade and a first flexible display and slidably coupled to the first housing to translate from one of a first adjacent side, an opposite side and a second adjacent side to the hinge coupling;
a first translation mechanism operable to slide the first blade assembly relative to the first device housing between an extended position and a retracted position;
a second blade assembly carrying a second blade and a second flexible display and slidably coupled to the second device housing to translate from a corresponding one of a first adjacent side, an opposite side and a second adjacent side to the hinge coupling;
a second translation mechanism operable to slide the second blade assembly relative to the second device housing between an extended position and a retracted position; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the first and the second translation mechanisms and the sensor, and which:
in response to determining, based on the sensor, that the device housing assembly is in the unfolded open position and in response to identifying an occurrence of at least one display positioning trigger, actuates the first and the second translation mechanisms to translate respectively the first and the second blade assemblies in unison from a first position to a second position between the retracted position and the extended position.
