Abstract:
1. A handheld computing device, comprising: a first screen having a front surface, a rear surface, and a side surface extending between a periphery of the front and rear surfaces of the first screen; a second screen having a front surface, a rear surface, and a side surface extending between a periphery of the front and rear surfaces of the second screen; and a hinge connected to the first screen so that the first screen is rotatable about a first pivot axis, the hinge connected to the second screen so that the second screen is rotatable about a second pivot axis, wherein the hinge is configured to permit the first and second screens to be rotatable from a closed position in which the rear surfaces of the first and second screens are substantially in contact with each other to a fully open position in which the front surfaces of the first and second screens are rotated beyond a planar configuration, in which the front surfaces of the first and second screens are substantially coplanar, to a non-planar configuration, in which the front surfaces of the first and second screens are transverse to each other, wherein the hinge further comprises a hub and first and second leaves, wherein the planes of the front surfaces of the first and second screens are substantially transverse to each other in the fully open position, and wherein, when in the fully open position, an angle δ defined between the rear surface of each of the first and second leaves and a horizontal plane is no more than 10°.
