Abstract:
1. A display system comprising: a continuous flexible display, at least two frame parts each housing a main display support, said main display supports being hingeable with respect to each other and each structurally configured to support a respective portion of the flexible display, wherein the two main display supports are rotatable in opposite directions and connected to each other by a hinge mechanism comprising two hinges being separated by a distance, each of the hinges being configured for rotation of a respective one of the main display supports, the main display supports being rotatable between a configuration for fixing the flexible display in a closed storage position and a planar configuration for fixing the flexible display in an open position, wherein the hinge mechanism comprises a first end connected to a first of the at least two frame parts and a second end connected to a second of the at least two frame parts, wherein the two main display supports are coupled to each other by a movement synchronizing coupling, said movement synchronizing coupling enabling during movement between the closed and open position a mutual substantially synchronized rotating of the main display supports at substantially equal but oppositely directed angles, wherein the movement synchronizing coupling is arranged adjacent to both the first and second ends of the hinge mechanism, wherein the movement synchronizing coupling is coupled with a central additional display support, said central additional display support being movable by the movement synchronizing coupling between a non-operational position and a support position when the two main display supports are moved between the storage position and the open position of the flexible display, arranged such that when the central additional display support is in the support position, a planar surface of the central additional display support crosses a gap created by the hinge mechanism so as to support a segment of the flexible display located between said respective portions of the flexible display, such that in the open position substantially the whole surface of the flexible display is supported by the respective display supports.
