Multi-axis edge bended display for infinity portable information handling system
A portable information handling system couples a display film to a housing with a minimal bezel by forming a slot in a corner of the display film having rounded portions on opposing sides of the slot that conform to a rounded shape of the housing perimeter support for the display film. In an embodiment having a dual housing display configuration, the display film folds over a hinge and has a slot formed in each corner with a hinge indent aligned at the hinge coupling location to accept a hinge end cover.
1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing having a rounded corner with a curved shape along a side of the housing from an upper surface to a lower surface;
a processor disposed in the housing and operable to process information;
a memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information; and
a display film interfaced with the processor and operable to present the visual information, the display film disposed over the housing and having a corner portion to fit at the housing rounded corner, the corner portion when in a planar configuration having opposing rounded portions separated by a slot unit configured to align and to fold at the housing rounded corner.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising:
a corner cover coupled to the housing at the slot unit.
3. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the display film comprises a plastic organic light emitting diode display film.
4. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein:
the housing comprises first and second portions rotationally coupled by a hinge; and
the display film is disposed over the first housing portion, the first housing portion having first and second rounded corners opposite the hinge, the display film having first and second corner portions to align with the first and second rounded corners, each of the first and second corner portions having opposing rounded portions separated by a slot unit configured to align and to fold at the housing rounded corner.
5. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein:
the housing comprises first and second housing portions rotationally coupled by a hinge; and
the display film is disposed over the first and second housing portions, each of the first and second housing portions having first and second rounded corners opposite the hinge, the display film having first and second corner portions at each side to align with the first and second rounded corners of the first and second housing portions, each of the first and second coiner portions having opposing rounded portions separated by a slot unit configured to align to fold at the housing rounded corner.
6. The information handling system of claim 5 wherein the display film further has first and second hinge portions on opposite sides having an indent aligned with a hinge end cover disposed at each of opposing sides of the housing.
7. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the housing comprises a rounded side edge that supports the display film.
8. The information handling system of claim 7 further comprising:
plural pixels integrated in the display film, each pixel operable to illuminate a color;
wherein the plural pixels have a uniform size in a central area and a decreasing size towards a side area where the display film folds over the housing rounded side edge.
9. The information handling system of claim 1 wherein the display film rounded corners have substantially a curvature of the housing rounded corner.
10. A method for coupling a display film to an information handling system housing, the method comprising:
defining a slot unit configured to align at a housing rounded corner, the slot unit in a corner of the display film when the display film is in a planar configuration;
defining rounded portions of the slot unit in the display film on opposing sides of the slot unit when the display film is in the planar configuration; and
coupling the display film to a housing to align the slot unit with a corner of the housing, the rounded portions folding around a curved side of the housing, the curved side of the housing having a curved shape along a side of the housing from an upper surface to a lower surface.
11. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
defining sides of the housing that intersect at the corner to have a rounded surface of a curvature; and
adapting the rounded portions to conform to the curvature.
12. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
coupling first and second housing portions with a hinge;
defining an indent in the display film;
coupling the display film to the housing with the indent aligned at a hinge coupling location; and
coupling the display film at the indent with a hinge end cover.
13. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
coupling first and second housing portions with a hinge;
defining the slot unit in each corner of the display film;
defining the rounded portions in the display film on opposing sides of each slot unit; and
coupling the display film to the housing to align the slot unit with first and second corners of each the first and second housing portions, the display film configured to fold at the hinge.
14. The method of claim 13 further comprising:
defining first and second indents on opposing sides of the display film to align with the hinge;
coupling the display film to the housing with the first and second indents aligned with first and second hinge coupling locations; and
coupling the display film at the first and second indents with first and second hinge end covers.
15. The method of claim 10 further comprising:
presenting images at the display film with uniformly sized pixels; and
presenting images at the display film periphery with pixels of decreased size relative to the uniformly-sized pixels.
16. The method of claim 10 wherein the display film comprises an organic it emitting diode display film.
17. A display comprising:
a housing having a rounded corner along a side from an upper surface to a lower surface; and
a display film coupled to the rounded corner, the display film when in a planar configuration having a slot unit configured to align with the rounded corner and having rounded portions on opposing sides of the slot unit formed to fold from the planar configuration to conform with the rounded corner when folded over a perimeter of the housing.
18. The display of claim 17 wherein the display film comprises an organic light emitting diode display film.
19. The display of claim 18 comprising:
a first set of pixels disposed in a central region of the display film and having a uniform size; and
a second set of pixels disposed along a periphery of the display film at the rounded corner and having less than the uniform size.
20. The display of claim 19 wherein the display film further has an indent formed to align with a hinge coupling location.
